[King Lear's palace at Troynovant.]
Gloucester:
Give me the letter, sir.
Edmund:
I shall offend, either to detain or give it. The contents, as in part I understand them, are to blame.
Gloucester:
Let's see, let's see.
Edmund:
I hope, for my brother's justification, he wrote this but as an essay or taste of my virtue.
William Shakespeare
King Lear, 1.2.39-44
