SCENE VI. A chamber in a farmhouse adjoining the castle.

Enter GLOUCESTER, KING LEAR, KENT, Fool, and EDGAR

GLOUCESTER
Here is better than the open air; take it
Thankfully. I will piece out the comfort with what
Addition I can: I will not be long from you.

KENT
All the power of his wits have given way to his
Impatience: the gods reward your kindness!

Exit GLOUCESTER

EDGAR
Frateretto calls me; and tells me
Nero is an angler in the lake of darkness.
Pray, innocent, and beware the foul fiend.

FOOL
Prithee, nuncle, tell me whether a madman be a
Gentleman or a yeoman?

KING LEAR
A king, a king!
