With nothing in my soul to answer it?

Or what does correspond, shall I belie

To please a Patriarch? No, surely Nature

Could never lie so basely! Nor, kind God,

Couldst thou so contradict Thyself! Go, brother,

And do not rouse my anger.

FRIAR.

I withdraw

More gladly than I came. And, pardon me:

A monk's first duty, sir, is to obey.
