Lear:
There is no wise man
Believes that medicine is in a jewel.
It is enough that you have failed with one.
Seek you a common stone. I'll not do it.
Let her eat heartily: she is spent with fasting.
Let her stand up and walk: she is so still
Her blood can never nourish her. Come away.
Physician:
I must not leave her ere the woman comes--
Or will some other woman ...
Lear:
No, no, no, no;
The Queen is not herself; she speaks without sense;
Only Merryn and Gormflaith understand.
She is better quiet. Come ...
[He urges the PHYSICIAN roughly away by the shoulder.]

[He follows the PHTSICIAN out by the door at the back.
Queen HYGD awakes at his last noisy words as he disappears.]
Hygd:
I have not slept; I did but close mine eyes
A little while--a little while forgetting ...
Where are you, Merryn? ... Ah, it is not Merryn ...
Bring me the cup of whey, woman; I thirst ...
Will you speak to me if I say your name?
Will you not listen, Gormflaith? ... Can you hear?
I am very thirsty--let me drink .
