LEAR . Then let them anatomize Regan ; see what breeds about her heart . Is there any cause in nature that makes these hard hearts ? [ To Edgar . ] You , sir , I entertain you for one of my hundred ; only I do not like the fashion of your garments . You’ll say they are Persian ; but let them be changed . KENT . Now , good my lord , lie here and rest awhile . LEAR . Make no noise , make no noise ; draw the curtains . So , so . We’ll go to supper i ’ the morning . FOOL . And I’ll go to bed at noon . Enter Gloucester . GLOUCESTER . Come hither , friend ; Where is the King my master ? KENT . Here , sir ; but trouble him not , his wits are gone . GLOUCESTER . Good friend , I prythee , take him in thy arms ; I have o’erheard a plot of death upon him ; There is a litter ready ; lay him in’t And drive towards Dover , friend , where thou shalt meet Both welcome and protection . Take up thy master ; If thou shouldst dally half an hour , his life , With thine , and all that offer to defend him , Stand in assured loss . Take up , take up ; And follow me , that will to some provision Give thee quick conduct . KENT . Oppressed nature sleeps . This rest might yet have balm’d thy broken sinews , Which , if convenience will not allow , Stand in hard cure . Come , help to bear thy master ; [ To the Fool . ] Thou must not stay behind . GLOUCESTER . Come , come , away ! [ Exeunt Kent , Gloucester and the Fool bearing off Lear . ] EDGAR . When we our betters see bearing our woes , We scarcely think our miseries our foes . Who alone suffers , suffers most i ’ the mind , Leaving free things and happy shows behind : But then the mind much sufferance doth o’erskip When grief hath mates , and bearing fellowship . How light and portable my pain seems now , When that which makes me bend makes the King bow ; He childed as I fathered ! Tom , away ! Mark the high noises ; and thyself bewray , When false opinion , whose wrong thoughts defile thee , In thy just proof repeals and reconciles thee . What will hap more tonight , safe ’ scape the King ! Lurk , lurk . [ Exit . ] SCENE VII . A Room in Gloucester’s Castle Enter Cornwall , Regan , Goneril , Edmund and Servants . CORNWALL . Post speedily to my lord your husband , show him this letter : the army of France is landed . Seek out the traitor Gloucester . [ Exeunt some of the Servants . ] REGAN . Hang him instantly . GONERIL . Pluck out his eyes . CORNWALL . Leave him to my displeasure . Edmund , keep you our sister company : the revenges we are bound to take upon your traitorous father are not fit for your beholding . Advise the Duke where you are going , to a most festinate preparation : we are bound to the like . Our posts shall be swift and intelligent betwixt us . Farewell , dear sister , farewell , my lord of Gloucester . Enter Oswald . How now ! Where’s the King ? OSWALD . My lord of Gloucester hath convey’d him hence : Some five or six and thirty of his knights , Hot questrists after him , met him at gate ; Who , with some other of the lord’s dependants , Are gone with him toward Dover : where they boast To have well - armed friends .
