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.
