GLOUCESTER
For him I thank your Grace.
CORNWALL
You know not why we came to visit you, −
REGAN
Thus out of season, threading dark-ey’d night:
Occasions, noble Gloucester, of some prize,
Wherein we must have use of your advice. [120]
Our father he hath writ, so hath our sister,
Of differences, which I best thought it fit
To answer from our home; the several messengers
From hence attend dispatch. Our good old friend,
Lay comforts to your bosom, and bestow [125]
Your needful counsel to our business
Which craves the instant use.
GLOUCESTER
I serve you, Madam.
Your Graces are right welcome.
(Flourish. Exeunt.)
Scene II IT
(Before Gloucester’s Castle.)

OSWALD
Good dawning to thee, friend: art of this house?
KENT
Ay.
OSWALD
Where may we set our horses?
