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.)



                                          Enter Kent and Oswald, severally.


              OSWALD

          Good dawning to thee, friend: art of this house?



              KENT
          Ay.



              OSWALD
          Where may we set our horses?
