True, boy.--Come, bring us to this hovel. Exeunt Lear and Kent. Fool. I 'll speak a prophecy ere I go: When priests are more in word than matter; When brewers mar their malt with water; When nobles are their tailors' tutors; No heretics burn'd, but wenches' suitors; When every case in law is right; No squire in debt, nor no poor knight; When slanders do not live in tongues, Nor cutpurses come not to throngs; Then shall the realm of Albion Come to great confusion: Then comes the time, who lives to see't, That going shall be us'd with feet.

If I die for it, as no less is threatened me, the king my old master must be relieved. There is strange things toward, Edmund; pray you, be careful. Exit....
