Bast. Saue thee Curan

Cur. And you Sir, I haue bin

With your Father, and giuen him notice

That the Duke of Cornwall, and Regan his Duchesse

Will be here with him this night

Bast. How comes that?

Cur. Nay I know not, you haue heard of the newes abroad,

I meane the whisper'd ones, for they are yet but

ear-kissing arguments

Bast. Not I: pray you what are they?

Cur. Haue you heard of no likely Warres toward,

'Twixt the Dukes of Cornwall, and Albany?

Bast. Not a word

Cur. You may do then in time,

Fare you well Sir.

Enter.

Bast. The Duke be here to night? The better best,

This weaues it selfe perforce into my businesse,

My Father hath set guard to take my Brother,

And I haue one thing of a queazie question

Which I must act, Briefenesse, and Fortune worke.

Enter Edgar.

Brother, a word, discend; Brother I say,

My Father watches: O Sir, fly this place,

Intelligence is giuen where you are hid;

You haue now the good aduantage of the night,

Haue you not spoken 'gainst the Duke of Cornewall?

Hee's comming hither, now i'th' night, i'th' haste,

And Regan with him, haue you nothing said

Vpon his partie 'gainst the Duke of Albany?

Aduise your selfe
