KNIGHT

Ah, when the King comes home!
That's music—all the birds of April sing
In those four words for me—the King comes home.

MARIAN

I am glad you love him, sir.

ROBIN

But you're not eating!
Your helmet's locked and barred! Will you not raise
Your visor?

KNIGHT

[Laughs.]

Ha! ha! ha! You see I am trapped!
I did not wish to raise it! Hunger and thirst
Break down all masks and all disguises, Robin.

[He rises and removes his helmet, revealing the face of Richard Cœur de Lion.]
