Lear

ACT V SCENE II	A field between the two camps.
[ Alarum within. Enter, with drum and colours, KING LEAR, CORDELIA, and Soldiers, over the stage; and exeunt ]
[Enter EDGAR and GLOUCESTER]
EDGAR	Here, father, take the shadow of this tree
	For your good host; pray that the right may thrive:
	If ever I return to you again,
	I'll bring you comfort.
GLOUCESTER	Grace go with you, sir!	5
[Exit EDGAR]
[Alarum and retreat within. Re-enter EDGAR]
EDGAR	Away, old man; give me thy hand; away!
	King Lear hath lost, he and his daughter ta'en:
	Give me thy hand; come on.
GLOUCESTER	No farther, sir; a man may rot even here.
EDGAR	What, in ill thoughts again? Men must endure	10
	Their going hence, even as their coming hither;
	Ripeness is all: come on.
GLOUCESTER	And that's true too.
[Exeunt]
