            ACT II

            SCENE 5 - Goneril's chamber.
                  Enter GONERIL and JAQUENETTA
            JAQUENETTA
               Good mistress Princess, be so good as read me this letter: it was given me by
               Costard, and sent me from my lord Gloucester: I beseech you, read it.
            GONERIL 
               But, damosella virgin, was this directed to you?
               I will overglance the superscript: 'To the snow-white hand of the most beauteous
               Lady Cordelia.' I will look again on the intellect of the letter, for the nomination of
               the party writing to the person written unto: 'Your ladyship's in all desired
               employment, KENT.' Jaquenetta, this Lord Kent is one of the votaries with the
               king; and here he hath framed a letter to my sister at the stranger queen's, which
               accidentally, or by the way of progression, hath miscarried. Trip and go, my
               sweet; deliver this paper into the royal hand of the king: it may concern much.
               Stay not thy compliment; I forgive thy duty; adieu.
                                                                   Exeunt

Forth!
