Reg.
But are my brother's powers set forth?

Osw.
Ay, madam.

Reg.
Himself ^note in person there ^note?

Osw.
Madam, ^note with much ado:
Your sister is ^note the better soldier. ^note

Reg.
Lord Edmund spake not with your lord ^note at home?

Osw.
No, madam.

Reg.
What might import my sister's letter ^note to him?

Osw.
I know not, lady.

Reg.
Faith, he is posted hence on serious ^note matter.
It was great ignorance, Gloucester's eyes being out,
To let him live: where he arrives he moves
All hearts against us: Edmund ^note, I think, is gone,
In pity of his misery, to dispatch

His nighted life; moreover, to descry
The strength o' the enemy ^note. ^note

Osw.
I must needs after him, madam ^note, with my letter ^note.

Reg.
Our troops set ^note forth to-morrow: stay with us;
The ways are dangerous.

Osw.
I may not, madam:
My lady charged my duty in this business. ^note

Reg.
Why should she write to Edmund? Might not you
Transport her purposes by word? Belike, ^{note note}
Something— ^noteI know not what: I'll love thee much,
Let me unseal the letter.

Osw.
Madam, I had ^note rather—

Reg.
I know your lady does not love her husband;
I am ^note sure of that: and at her late being here
She gave strange ^note œillades ^note and most speaking looks
To noble Edmund. I know you are ^note of her bosom.

Osw.
I, madam? ^note

Reg.
I speak in understanding: you are; I know't ^note:
Therefore I do advise you, take this note: ^note
My lord is dead; Edmund and I have talk'd;
And more convenient is he for my hand
Than for your lady's ^note: you may gather more.
If you do find ^note him, pray you, give him this;

And when your mistress hears thus much from you,
I pray, desire her call her wisdom to her.
So, fare you well ^note.
If you do chance to hear of that blind traitor,
Preferment falls on him that cuts him off.

Osw.
Would I could meet him ^note, madam! I should ^note show
What party ^note I do follow.

Reg.
Fare thee well. [Exeunt. ^{note note}
