1970Enter Cornwall and Edmund [the Bastard].
1971Cornwall
I will have my revenge ere I depart his house.
1972Bastard
How, my lord, I may be censured, that nature 1973thus gives way to loyalty, something fears me to 1974think of.
1975Cornwall
I now perceive it was not altogether your 1976brother's evil disposition made him seek his death, but 1977a provoking merit set a-work by a reprovable badness 1978in himself.
1979Bastard
How malicious is my fortune that I must 1980repent to be just! This is the letter which he spoke of, 1981which approves him an intelligent party to the 1982advantages of France. O heavens, that this treason were not, 1983or not I the detector!
1984Cornwall
Go with me to the duchess.
1985Bastard
If the matter of this paper be certain, you have 1986mighty business in hand.
1987Cornwall
True or false, it hath made thee Earl of 1988Gloucester. Seek out where thy father is, that he may be 1989ready for our apprehension.
1990Bastard
[Aside] If I find him comforting the King, it will stuff 1991his suspicion more fully. [Aloud] I will persevere in my course of 1992loyalty, though the conflict be sore between that and 1993my blood.
1994Cornwall
I will lay trust upon thee, and thou shalt find 1995a dear father in my love.
34Exeunt.
