quotation

Lear: What art thou? Kent: A man, sir Lear: What dost thou profess? What wouldst thou with us? Kent: I do profess to be no less than I seem; to serve him truly that will put me in trust; to love him that is honest; to conserve with him that is wise, and says little; to fear judgment; to fight when I cannot choose and to eat no fish. ... Lear How old art thou? Kent. Not so young, sir, to love a woman for singing; nor so old to dote on her for anything: I have years on my back forty-eight.
