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
5     Grace go with you, sir!
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
10    What, in ill thoughts again? Men must endure
      Their going hence, even as their coming hither;
      Ripeness is all: come on.
GLOUCESTER
      And that's true too.
