No Fear Shakespeare: King Lear: Act 4, scene vii

	GENTLEMAN
	Holds it true, sir, that the Duke
	of Cornwall was so slain?

GENTLEMAN

Is it true, sir, that the Duke of Cornwall was killed as they say?

	KENT
	Most certain, sir.

KENT

Yes, it's true, sir.

	GENTLEMAN
	Who is conductor of his people?

GENTLEMAN

Who is leading his men?

	KENT
	As 'tis said, the bastard son of Gloucester.

KENT

They say Gloucester's bastard son is.

	GENTLEMAN
90	They say Edgar, his banished son, is with the Earl of Kent
	in Germany.

GENTLEMAN

I hear that Edgar, Gloucester's exiled son, is with the Earl of Kent in Germany.

	KENT
	Report is changeable. Tis time to look about. The powers of
	the kingdom approach apace.

KENT

You can't trust all the rumors. It's time to reassess the situation. The British troops are coming near.

	GENTLEMAN
	The arbitrament is like to be bloody. Fare you well, sir.

GENTLEMAN

It will likely be a bloody fight. Goodbye, sir.

Exit GENTLEMAN

	KENT
95	My point and period will be throughly wrought,
	Or well or ill, as this day's battle's fought.

KENT

My life and my plans completely depend on how today's battle ends.

Exit

He exits.
