Hen. This was given, sir,
For open use in Kent's defence. In short,
I was that priest, my lord, and played the monk
To better purpose than I've played the king.
Cant. Your majesty——
Hen. Is pleased to speak, your grace
This then, my lords, proves Kent had holy reason
For thwarting my vain love.
Alb. Could this be true
And Kent not speak when a bare word had saved him?
