Gon. My Lord, entreate him by no meanes to stay

Glo. Alacke the night comes on, and the high windes

Do sorely ruffle, for many Miles about

There's scarce a Bush

Reg. O Sir, to wilfull men,

The iniuries that they themselues procure,

Must be their Schoole-Masters: shut vp your doores,

He is attended with a desperate traine,

And what they may incense him too, being apt,

To haue his eare abus'd, wisedome bids feare

Cor. Shut vp your doores my Lord, 'tis a wil'd night,

My Regan counsels well: come out oth' storme.

Exeunt.

Actus Tertius. Scena Prima.

Storme still. Enter Kent, and a Gentleman, seuerally.

Kent. Who's there besides foule weather?

Gen. One minded like the weather, most vnquietly

Kent. I know you: Where's the King?

Gent. Contending with the fretfull Elements;

Bids the winde blow the Earth into the Sea,

Or swell the curled Waters 'boue the Maine,

That things might change, or cease

Kent. But who is with him?

Gent. None but the Foole, who labours to out-iest

His heart-strooke iniuries

Kent. Sir, I do know you,

And dare vpon the warrant of my note

Commend a deere thing to you. There is diuision

(Although as yet the face of it is couer'd

With mutuall cunning) 'twixt Albany, and Cornwall:

Who haue, as who haue not, that their great Starres

Thron'd and set high; Seruants, who seeme no lesse,

Which are to France the Spies and Speculations

Intelligent of our State. What hath bin seene,

Either in snuffes, and packings of the Dukes,

Or the hard Reine which both of them hath borne

Against the old kinde King; or something deeper,

Whereof (perchance) these are but furnishings
