Edm.Fear me not. She and the Duke her husband! Enter with Drum and Colours,Albany,Goneril,Soldiers. Gon.[Aside.I had rather lose the battle than that sister Should loosen him and me. Alb.Our very loving sister,well be-met. Sir,this I hear:the king is come to his daughter, With others whom the rigour of our state Fore'd to cry out.Where I could not be honest, I never yet was valiant.For this business, It toucheth us as France invades our land, Not bolds the king,with others whom,I fear, Most just and heavy causes make oppose. Edm.Sir,you speak nobly. Reg.Why is this reason'd? Gon. Combine together'gainst the enemy; For these domestic and particular broils Are not the question here. Alb.Let's then determine With th'ancient of war on our proceeding. Edm.I shall attend you presently at your tent. Reg. Sister,you'll go with us? Gon.No. Reg. 'Tis most convenient.Pray you go with us. Gon.[Aside.]O ho,I know the riddle.I will go. As they are going out,enter Edgar disguised.

Exeunt all but Albany and Edgar. Edg.Before you fight the battle,ope this letter. If you have victory,let the trumpet sound For him that brought it.Wretched though I seem, I can produce a champion that will prove What is avouched there.If you miscarry, Your business of the world hath so an end, And machination ceases.Fortune love you! Alb.Stay till I have read the letter. Edg.I was forbid it. When time shall serve,let but the herald cry, And I'll appear again. Alb. Why,fare thee well.I will o'erlook thy paper. Exit Edgar. Enter Edmund. Edm.The enemy's in view;draw up your powers. Here is the guess of their true strength and forces By diligent discovery;but your haste Is now urg'd on you. Alb. We will greet the time. Exit. Edm.To both these sisters have I sworn my love; Each jealous of the other,as the stung Are of the adder.Which of them shall I take? Both?One?Or neither?Neither can be enjoy'd, If both remain alive:to take the widow Exasperates,makes mad her sister Goneril; And hardly shall I carry out my side, Her husband being alive.Now then,we'll use ·262· 第五幕 奥尔巴尼你们先请一步，我就来。一说。（埃德蒙、 里甘、戈纳瑞、军官、兵士及侍从等同下) 埃德加在您没有开始作战以前，先把这封信拆开来看 一看：要是您得到胜利，可以吹喇叭为信号，叫我 出来：虽然您看我是这样一个下贱的人，我可以请 出一个证人来，证明这信上所写的事。要是您失败 了，那么您在这世上的使命己经完毕，一切阴谋也 都无能为力了。愿命运眷顾您！ 奥尔巴尼等我读了信你再去。 埃德加我不能。时候一到，您只要叫传令官传唤一声， 我就会出来的。 奥尔巴尼那么再见：你的信我拿回去看吧。（埃德加 下) 埃德蒙重上。 埃德蒙敌人已经望得见了：快把您的军队集合起来。 这儿记载着根据精密侦查所得的敌方军力的估计， 可是现在您必须快点儿了。 奥尔巴尼好，我们准备迎敌就是了。（下）》 埃德蒙我对这两个姐姐都己经立下爱情的盟誓：她们 彼此互怀嫉妒，就像被蛇咬过的人见不得蛇的影子 一样。我应该选择哪一个呢？两个都要？只要一 个？还是一个也不要？要是两个全都留在世上，我 就一个也不能到手：娶了那寡妇，一定会激怒她的 姐姐戈纳瑞：而且她的丈夫一天不死，总是我前途 的一个障碍。现在我们还是要借他做号召军心的幌 子；等到战事结束以后，她要是想除去他，让她自 己设法结果他的性命吧。照他的意思，李尔和科迪 D exasperate [ig'zesporeit]v 激怒 ·263· ACTV His countenance for the battle,which being done, Let her who would be rid of him devise His speedy taking off.As for the mercy Which he intends to Lear and to Cordelia: The battle done,and they within our power, Shall never see his pardon;for my state Stands on me to defend,not to debate.
