Mar. Not her,

So fair ... and dear to us.

Kent. [Kissing her] My gentle love!

... 'Twere best she died, who now must drink the cup

That makes death sweet in coming. I myself

Almost could guide the knife unto her heart

And cut off ruder visitors.

Mar. O, veil

The thought. Its nakedness has chilled my soul.

Kent. Ay, she is God's, not mine. Leave her to him.
