2384Reg. But are my Brothers Powres set forth?

2385Stew. I Madam,

2386Reg. Himselfe in person there?

2387Stew. Madam with much ado:

2388Your Sister is the better Souldier.

2389Reg. Lord Edmund spake not with your Lord at home?

2390Stew. No Madam.

2391Reg. What night import my Sisters Letter to him?

2392Stew. I know not, Lady.

2393Reg. Faith he is poasted hence on serious matter:

2394It was great ignorance, Glousters eyes being out

2395To let him liue. Where he arriues, he moues

2396All hearts against vs: Edmund, I thinke is gone

2397In pitty of his misery, to dispatch

2398His nighted life: Moreouer to descry

2399The strength o'th'Enemy.

2400Stew. I must needs after him, Madam, with my Letter.

2401Reg. Our troopes set forth to morrow, stay with vs:

2402The wayes are dangerous.

2403Stew. I may not Madam:

2404My Lady charg'd my dutie in this busines.

2405Reg. Why should she write to Edmund?

2406Might not you transport her purposes by word? Belike,

2407Some things, I know not what. Ile loue thee much

2408Let me vnseale the Letter.

2409Stew. Madam, I had rather----

2410Reg. I know your Lady do's not loue her Husband,

2411I am sure of that: and at her late being heere,

2412She gaue strange Eliads, and most speaking lookes

2413To Noble Edmund. I know you are of her bosome.

2414Stew. I, Madam?

2415Reg. I speake in vnderstanding: Y'are: I know't,

2416Therefore I do aduise you take this note:

2417My Lord is dead: Edmond, and I haue talk'd,

2418And more conuenient is he for my hand

2419Then for your Ladies: You may gather more:

2420If you do finde him, pray you giue him this;

2421And when your Mistris heares thus much from you,

2422I pray desire her call her wisedome to her.

2423So fare you well:

2424If you do chance to heare of that blinde Traitor,

2425Preferment fals on him, that cuts him off.

2426Stew. Would I could meet Madam, I should shew

2427What party I do follow.

2428Reg. Fare thee well. Exeunt
