Scene IV
The same. A tent
Enter, with drum and colours, Cordelia, Doctor, and Soldiers.[4181]
Cor. Alack, 'tis he: why, he was met even now
As mad as the vex'd sea; singing aloud;[4182]
Crown'd with rank fumiter and furrow-weeds,[4183]
With bur-docks, hemlock, nettles, cuckoo-flowers,[4184]
Darnel, and all the idle weeds that grow 5
In our sustaining corn. A century send forth;[4185]
Search every acre in the high-grown field,
And bring him to our eye. [Exit an Officer.] What can man's wisdom[4186][4187][4188][4189]
In the restoring his bereaved sense?[4186][4188][4190]
He that helps him take all my outward worth.[4186][4191] 10

Doct. There is means, madam:[4192]
Our foster-nurse of nature is repose,
The which he lacks: that to provoke in him,[4193]
Are many simples operative, whose power
Will close the eye of anguish.

Cor. All blest secrets,[4194] 15
All you unpublish'd virtues of the earth,[4194]
Spring with my tears! be aidant and remediate[4195]
In the good man's distress! Seek, seek for him;[4196]
Lest his ungovern'd rage dissolve the life
That wants the means to lead it.

Enter a Messenger.[4197]
Cor. 'Tis known before; our preparation stands
In expectation of them. O dear father,
It is thy business that I go about;[4199]
Therefore great France[4199] 25
My mourning and important tears hath pitied.[4200]
No blown ambition doth our arms incite,[4201]
But love, dear love, and our aged father's right:[4202]
Soon may I hear and see him! [Exeunt.[4203]
