415He thinks he ne're shall come at's iourneyes end.

416I would he had old Dedalus waxen wings,

417That he might flye, so I might stay behind:

418For e're we get to Troynouant, I see,

419He quite will tyre himselfe, his horse and me.

422Corn. Brother of Cambria, we greet you well,

423As one whom here we little did expect.

424Cam. Brother of Cornwall, met in happy time:

425I thought as much to haue met with the Souldan of Persia,

426As to haue met you in this place, my Lord.

427No doubt, it is about some great affayres,

428That makes you here so slenderly accompanied.

429Corn. To say the truth, my Lord, it is no lesse,

430And for your part some hasty wind of chance

431Hath blowne you hither thus vpon the sudden.

432Cam. My Lord, to break off further circumstances,

433For at this time I cannot brooke delayes:

434Tell you your reason, I will tell you mine.

435Corn. In fayth content, and therefore to be briefe;

436For I am sure my haste's as great as yours:

437I am sent for, to come vnto King Leir,

438Who by these present letters promiseth

439His eldest daughter, louely Gonorill,

440To me in mariage, and for present dowry,

441The moity of halfe his Regiment.

442The Ladies loue I long ago possest:

443But vntill now I neuer had the fathers.

444Cam. You tell me wonders, yet I will relate

445Strange newes, and henceforth we must brothers call;

446Witnesse these lynes: his honourable age,

447Being weary of the troubles of his Crowne,

448His princely daughter Ragan will bestow

449On me in mariage, with halfe his Seigniories,

450Whom I would gladly haue accepted of,

451With the third part, her complements are such.

452Corn. If I haue one halfe, and you haue the other,
