Enter Edgar.
EDGAR. Yet better thus, and known to be contemn'd, / Than still contemn'd and flatter'd. To be worst, / The lowest and most dejected thing of fortune, / Stands still in esperance, lives not in fear: / The lamentable change is from the best; / The worst returns to laughter. Welcome then, / Thou unsubstantial air that I embrace; / The wretch that thou hast blown unto the worst / Owes nothing to thy blasts.
