ACT III - SCENE V. Gloucester's castle.
Enter CORNWALL and EDMUND

CORNWALL
1    I will have my revenge ere I depart his house.
EDMUND
2    How, my lord, I may be censured, that nature thus
3    gives way to loyalty, something fears me to think
4    of.
CORNWALL
5    I now perceive, it was not altogether your
6    brother's evil disposition made him seek his death;
7    but a provoking merit, set a-work by a reprovable
8    badness in himself.
EDMUND
9    How malicious is my fortune, that I must repent to
10   be just! This is the letter he spoke of, which
11   approves him an intelligent party to the advantages
12   of France: O heavens! that this treason were not,
13   or not I the detector!
CORNWALL
14   o with me to the duchess.
EDMUND
15   If the matter of this paper be certain, you have
16   mighty business in hand.
CORNWALL
17   True or false, it hath made thee earl of
18   Gloucester. Seek out where thy father is, that he
19   may be ready for our apprehension.
EDMUND
Aside
20    If I find him comforting the king, it will
21   stuff his suspicion more fully.--I will persevere in
22   my course of loyalty, though the conflict be sore
23   between that and my blood.
CORNWALL
24   I will lay trust upon thee; and thou shalt find a
25   dearer father in my love.
Exeunt
