Scene III.Gloucester's Castle. Enter Gloucester and Edmund. Glou.Alack,alack,Edmund,I like not this unnatural dealing.When I desir'd their leave that I might pity him,they took from me the use of mine own house,charg'd me on pain of perpetual displeasure neither to speak of him,entreat for him,or any way sustain him. Edm.Most savage and unnatural! Glou.Go to;say you nothing.There is division betwixt the Dukes,and a worse matter than that.I have received a letter this night-'tis dangerous to be spoken-I have lock'd the letter in my closet.These injuries the king now bears will be revenged home.There's part of a power already footed;we must incline to the king.I will seek him and privily relieve him.Go you and maintain talk with the Duke,that my charity be not of him perceived.If he ask for me,I am ill and gone to bed.If I die for it,as no less is threat'ned me,the king my old master must be relieved.There is some strange thing toward,Edmund.Pray you be careful. ·148· 第三场 格洛斯特城堡中的一室 格洛斯特及埃德蒙上。 格洛斯特唉，唉！埃德蒙，我不赞成这种不近人情的 行为。当我请求他们允许我给他一点援助的时候， 他们竟会剥夺我使用自己屋子的权利，不许我提起 他的名字，不许我替他说一句恳求的话，也不许我 给他任何的救济，要是违背了他们的命令，我就要 永远失去他们的欢心。 埃德蒙太野蛮，太不近人情了！ 格洛斯特算了，你不要多说什么。两个公爵现在已经 有了意见，而且还有一件比这更严重的事情。今天 晚上我接到一封信，里面的话说出来也是很危险 的：我已经把这信锁在壁橱里了。王上受到这样的 凌虐，总有人会来替他报复的：已经有一支军队在 路上了；我们必须站在王上的一边。我就要找他去， 暗地里救济救济他：你去陪公爵谈谈，免得被他觉 察了我的行动。要是他问起我，你就回他说我身子 不好，己经睡了。大不了是一个死一他们的确拿 死来威吓一王上是我的老主人，我不能坐视不 救。出人意料的事情快要发生了，埃德蒙，你必须 ·149 ACT In Exit.
