_Glou._ He did bewray his practice, and received[3143] This hurt you see, striving to apprehend him. _Corn._ Is he pursued? _Glou._ Ay, my good lord.[3144] _Corn._ If he be taken, he shall never more[3145] 110 Be fear'd of doing harm: make your own purpose,[3145] How in my strength you please. For you, Edmund,[3145][3146] Whose virtue and obedience doth this instant[3145][3147] So much commend itself, you shall be ours:[3145][3148] Natures of such deep trust we shall much need:[3145][3149] 115 You we first seize on.[3145][3149] _Edm._ I shall serve you, sir,[3150][3151] Truly, however else.[3150] _Glou._ For him I thank your grace.[3152] _Corn._ You know not why we came to visit you,--[3153] _Reg._ Thus out of season, threading dark-eyed night:[3154] Occasions, noble Gloucester, of some poise,[3155] 120 Wherein we must have use of your advice:[3156] Our father he hath writ, so hath our sister, Of differences, which I least thought it fit[3157] To answer from our home; the several messengers[3158] From hence attend dispatch. Our good old friend, 125 Lay comforts to your bosom and bestow[3159] Your needful counsel to our business,[3159][3160] Which craves the instant use.[3159][3161] _Glou._ I serve you, madam:[3162] Your graces are right welcome. [_Flourish. Exeunt._[3162][3163] SCENE II. _Before Gloucester's castle._ _Enter_ KENT _and_ OSWALD, _severally_.[3164] _Osw._ Good dawning to thee, friend: art of this house?[3165][3166] _Kent._ Ay. _Osw._ Where may we set our horses? _Kent._ I' the mire.[3167] _Osw._ Prithee, if thou lovest me, tell me.[3168] 5 _Kent._ I love thee not. _Osw._ Why then I care not for thee. _Kent._ If I had thee in Lipsbury pinfold, I would make[3169] thee care for me. _Osw._ Why dost thou use me thus? I know thee not. 10 _Kent._ Fellow, I know thee. _Osw._ What dost thou know me for? _Kent._ A knave; a rascal; an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound,[3170] filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking[3171] 15 knave; a whoreson, glass-gazing, superserviceable, finical[3172] rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a[3173] bawd in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch: one whom I will beat into[3174] 20 clamorous whining, if thou deniest the least syllable of thy[3175] addition. _Osw._ Why, what a monstrous fellow art thou, thus to[3176] rail on one that is neither known of thee nor knows thee![3177]
