 GENTLEMAN
                                          Alack, poor gentleman!
GENTLEMAN
Oh, the poor man!
 KENT
  Of Albany's and Cornwall's powers you heard not?
KENT
Have you heard about Albany's and Cornwall's troops?
 GENTLEMAN
  'Tis so. They are afoot.
GENTLEMAN
I have. They're on the march.
 KENT
50 Well, sir, I'll bring you to our master Lear
  And leave you to attend him. Some dear cause
  Will in concealment wrap me up awhile.
  When I am known aright you shall not grieve
  Lending me this acquaintance. I pray you, go
55 Along with me.
KENT
Well, sir, I'll take you to Lear and have you stay with him a while. I have important business that requires me to remain in disguise a while longer. When I've revealed my true identity, you'll be glad you took the time to help me out. Please come with me.
Exeunt
They exit.
