Scene VGloucester’s castleEnter Cornwall and EdmundCornwallI will have my revenge ere I depart his house.EdmundHow, my lord, I may be censured, that nature thus gives way to loyalty, something fears me to think of.CornwallI now perceive, it was not altogether your brother’s evil disposition made him seek his death; but a provoking merit, set a-work by a reprovable badness in himself.EdmundHow malicious is my fortune, that I must repent to be just!
