Oh, the poor man!

KENT
Of Albany’s and Cornwall’s powers you heard not?

Have you heard about Albany’s and Cornwall’s troops?

KENT
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
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.
