[_Exit Edgar._[3076][3090] Some blood drawn on me would beget opinion [_Wounds his arm._[3076][3091] Of my more fierce endeavour: I have seen drunkards[3076][3092] Do more than this in sport. Father, father![3076][3093] 35 Stop, stop! No help?[3076] _Enter_ GLOUCESTER, _and_ Servants _with torches_.[3094] _Glou._ Now, Edmund, where's the villain?[3076][3095] _Edm._ Here stood he in the dark, his sharp sword out,[3076] Mumbling of wicked charms, conjuring the moon[3076][3096] To stand 's auspicious mistress.[3076] _Glou._ But where is he?[3076] 40 _Edm._ Look, sir, I bleed.[3076] _Glou._ Where is the villain, Edmund?[3076][3097] _Edm._ Fled this way, sir. When by no means he could--[3076][3098] _Glou._ Pursue him, ho!--Go after. [_Exeunt some Servants._] 'By no means' what?[3076][3099] _Edm._ Persuade me to the murder of your lordship;[3076] But that I told him the revenging gods[3076][3100] 45 'Gainst parricides did all their thunders bend,[3076][3101] Spoke with how manifold and strong a bond[3076] The child was bound to the father; sir, in fine,[3076][3102] Seeing how loathly opposite I stood[3076] To his unnatural purpose, in fell motion[3076][3103] 50 With his prepared sword he charges home[3076] My unprovided body, lanced mine arm:[3076][3104] But when he saw my best alarum'd spirits[3076][3105] Bold in the quarrel's right, roused to the encounter,[3076][3106] Or whether gasted by the noise I made,[3076][3107] 55 Full suddenly he fled.[3076][3108] _Glou._ Let him fly far:[3076] Not in this land shall he remain uncaught;[3076] And found--dispatch. The noble duke my master,[3076][3109] My worthy arch and patron, comes to-night:[3076][3110] By his authority I will proclaim it,[3076] 60 That he which finds him shall deserve our thanks,[3076][3111] Bringing the murderous caitiff to the stake;[3076][3112] He that conceals him, death.[3076][3113]
