    Now, good sir, what are you?

EDGAR

    A most poor man, made tame to fortune's blows;
    Who, by the art of known and feeling sorrows,
    Am pregnant to good pity.
Men must endure
Their going hence, even as their coming hither;
Ripeness is all: come on.
Endurance
The wonder is, he hath endured so long:
He but usurp'd his life.
Pour on; I will endure.
