Scene II

A field between the two camps

Alarum within. Enter, with drum and colours, Lear, Cordelia, and Soldiers, over the stage; and exeunt.

Enter Edgar and Gloucester.[4591]

Edg. Here, father, take the shadow of this tree[4592]
For your good host; pray that the right may thrive:
If ever I return to you again,[4593]
I'll bring you comfort.[4593]
Glou. Grace go with you, sir! [Exit Edgar.

Alarum and retreat within. Re-enter Edgar.[4594]

Edg. Away, old man; give me thy hand; away! 5
King Lear hath lost, he and his daughter ta'en:
Give me thy hand; come on.
Glou. No farther, sir; a man may rot even here.[4595]
Edg. What, in ill thoughts again? Men must endure[4596]
Their going hence, even as their coming hither: 10
Ripeness is all: come on.
Glou. And that's true too. [Exeunt.[4597]
