King Lear by William Shakespeare

Act 5 - Scene 2

A field between the two camps. Alarum within.

Edgar : Here, father, take the shadow of this tree [p]For your good host. Pray
that the right may thrive. [p]If ever I return to you again, [p]I'll
bring you comfort.

Earl of Glouchester : Grace go with you, sir!

Edgar : Away, old man! give me thy hand! away! [p]King Lear hath lost, he and
his daughter ta'en. [p]Give me thy hand! come on!

Earl of Glouchester : No further, sir. A man may rot even here.

Edgar : What, in ill thoughts again? Men must endure [p]Their going hence,
even as their coming hither; [p]Ripeness is all. Come on.

Earl of Glouchester : And that's true too. Exeunt.
