EDGAR
[Aside] And yet I must.Bless thy sweet eyes, they bleed. GLOUCESTER
Know'st thou the way to Dover? EDGAR
Both stile and gate, horse-way and foot-path. Poor Tom hath been scared out of his good wits: bless thee,
good man's son, from the foul fiend! five fiends have been in poor Tom at once; of lust, as Obidicut; Hobbididence,
prince of dumbness; Mahu, of stealing; Modo, of murder; Flibbertigibbet, of mopping and mowing, who since
possesses chambermaids and waiting-women. So, bless thee, master! GLOUCESTER
Here, take this purse, thou whom the heavens' plagues Have humbled to all strokes: that I am wretched Makes
thee the happier: heavens, deal so still! Let the superfluous and lust-dieted man, That slaves your ordinance,
that will not see Because he doth not feel, feel your power quickly; So distribution should undo excess, And
each man have enough. Dost thou know Dover? EDGAR
Ay, master. GLOUCESTER
There is a cliff, whose high and bending head Looks fearfully in the confined deep: Bring me but to the
very brim of it, And I'll repair the misery thou dost bear With something rich about me: from that place I
shall no leading need. EDGAR
Give me thy arm: Poor Tom shall lead thee.
