SCENE IV.

France.
Bid farewel to your sisters.

Cor.
Ye jewels of our father, with wash'd eyes
Cordelia leaves you: I know what you are,
And, like a sister, am most loth to call
Your faults, as they are nam'd. Love well our father:
To your professing bosoms I commit him;
But yet, alas! stood I within his grace,
I would prefer him to a better place.
So farewel to you both.

Who covers faults, at last with shame derides.
Well may you prosper!
