_Kent._ See better, Lear, and let me still remain The true blank of thine eye. _Lear._ Now, by Apollo,-- _Kent._ Now, by Apollo, king,[2538][2539] Thou swear'st thy gods in vain.[2538] _Lear._ O, vassal! miscreant! [_Laying his hand on his sword._[2540] _Alb._ } Dear sir, forbear.[2541] 160 _Corn._} _Kent._ Do;[2542] Kill thy physician, and the fee bestow[2543][2544] Upon the foul disease. Revoke thy doom;[2543][2545] Or, whilst I can vent clamour from my throat,[2543] I'll tell thee them dost evil.[2543] _Lear._ Hear me, recreant![2546][2547] 165 On thy allegiance, hear me![2546][2548] Since thou hast sought to make us break our vow,[2549] Which we durst never yet, and with strain'd pride[2550] To come between our sentence and our power,[2551] Which nor our nature nor our place can bear, 170 Our potency made good, take thy reward.[2552] Five days we do allot thee, for provision[2553] To shield thee from diseases of the world,[2554] And on the sixth to turn thy hated back[2555] Upon our kingdom: if on the tenth day following[2556] 175 Thy banish'd trunk be found in our dominions, The moment is thy death. Away! By Jupiter,[2557] This shall not be revoked. _Kent._ Fare thee well, king: sith thus thou wilt appear,[2558] Freedom lives hence, and banishment is here.[2559] 180 [_To Cordelia_] The gods to their dear shelter take thee, maid,[2560] That justly think'st and hast most rightly said![2561] [_To Regan and Goneril_] And your large speeches may your deeds approve,[2562] That good effects may spring from words of love. Thus Kent, O princes, bids you all adieu; 185 He'll shape his old course in a country new. [_Exit._[2563] _Flourish. Re-enter_ GLOUCESTER, _with_ FRANCE, BURGUNDY, _and_ Attendants.[2564] _Glou._ Here's France and Burgundy, my noble lord.[2565] _Lear._ My lord of Burgundy,[2566][2567] We first address towards you, who with this king[2566][2568] Hath rivall'd for our daughter: what, in the least,[2566][2569] 190 Will you require in present dower with her,[2566] Or cease your quest of love?[2566][2570] _Bur._ Most royal majesty,[2571] I crave no more than what your highness offer'd,[2571][2572] Nor will you tender less.[2571][2573]
