quotes
As the herald trumpets blow, Edgar enters, still in disguise, to duel with Edmund. After Edmund falls to the ground, Albany tells Goneril what he knows, and she leaves. Edgar reveals his identity, as well as Kent's, and says that Gloster died happy after knowing Edgar had revealed his identity to him. Before he dies, Edmund repents his wrongdoings, and warns them that the Lear and Cordelia will soon be killed. Edgar runs off to save them. A servant comes in, bearing the news of Goneril's suicide and of Regan's death by poisoning. Lear comes in carrying Cordelia, who had already been hanged. Lear recognizes Kent, and dies in despair.

'''Lear:'''<br />
Poor naked wretches, whereso'er you are,<br />
That bide the pelting of this pitiless storm,<br />
How shall your houseless heads and unfed sides,<br />
Your loop'd and window'd raggedness, defend you<br />
From seasons such as these? O, I have ta'en<br />
Too little care of this! Take physic, pomp;<br />
Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel,<br />
That thou mayst shake the superflux to them,<br />
And show the heavens more just. '''(III, iv)''')<br />
'''Gloucester:'''<br />
I' th' last night's storm I such a fellow saw,<br />
Which made me think a man a worm. My son<br />
Came then into my mind, and yet my mind<br />
Was then scarce friends with him. I have heard more since.<br />
As flies to wanton boys are we to th' gods,<br />
They kill us for their sport. '''(IV, i)'''<br />
''Lear:''' <br />
When we are born, we cry that we are come <br />
To this great stage of fools.'''IV, vi'''
