To the forfended place?

EDMUND
That thought abuses you.

REGAN
I am doubtful that you have been conjunct
And bosom’d with her, as far as we call hers.

EDMUND
No, by mine honour, Madam.

REGAN
I never shall endure her: dear my Lord, [15]

Be not familiar with her.

EDMUND
Fear me not.
She and the Duke her husband!

Enter, with drum and colours, Albany, Goneril, and Soldiers.

GONERIL
(aside) I had rather lose the battle than that sister
Should loosen him and me.

ALBANY
Our very loving sister, well be-met. [20]
Sir, this I hear; the King is come to his daughter,
With others whom the rigour of our state
Forc’d to cry out. Where I could not be honest,

I never yet was valiant: for this business,
It touches us, as France invades our land, [25]
Not bolds the King, with others, whom, I fear,
Most just and heavy causes make oppose.

EDMUND
