Lear. What's that?[2804]
Kent. Authority.
Lear. What services canst thou do?[2805] 30
Kent. I can keep honest counsel, ride, run, mar a[2806]
curious tale in telling it, and deliver a plain message
bluntly: that which ordinary men are fit for, I am qualified
in, and the best of me is diligence.
Lear. How old art thou? 35
Kent. Not so young, sir, to love a woman for singing,[2807]
nor so old to dote on her for any thing: I have years on my
back forty eight.
Lear. Follow me; thou shalt serve me: if I like thee no[2808][2809]
worse after dinner, I will not part from thee yet. Dinner,[2809][2810] 40
ho, dinner! Where's my knave? my fool? Go you, and[2810]
call my fool hither. [Exit an Attendant.[2811]
Enter Oswald.[2812]
You, you, sirrah, where's my daughter?[2813]
