| Cornwall- who’s there the traitor? | Infrateful fox! Tis he. |
| Cornwall- bind him I say | Hard. Hard. O filthy traitor. |
| Gloucester- it’s most if only done to pluck me by the beard. | So white, and such a traitor! |
| Cornwall- come sir what letters had you late from France? | To whose hands have you sent the lunatic king? |
| Gloucester- to Dover. | Wherefore to Dover? Wast thou not charged at peril— |
| Gloucester- I’m tied to the stake and I must stand the course. | Wherefore to Dover, sir? |
| Gloucester- o cruel! O you gods! | One side will mock the other. The other too. |
| First servant- but better service have I never done you than now to bid you hold. | How now, you dog! |
| First servant- may then come on and take the chance of anger | Give me they sword. A peasant stand up thus! |
| Gloucester- where’s my son Edmund? | Thou callst on him that hated thee. It was he that made the overture of thou treasons to us. Who is too good to pity thee. |
| Gloucester- king gods forgive me that and prosper him! | Go thrust him out at gates and let him smell his way to Dover. |
