LEAR: What art thou?
KENT: A very honest-hearted fellow, and as poor as the King.
LEAR: If thou be’st as poor for a subject as he is for a king, thou art poor enough. What wouldst thou?
KENT: Service.
LEAR: Who wouldst thou serve?
KENT: You.
LEAR: Dost thou know me, fellow?
KENT: No, sir, but you have that in your countenance which I would fain call master.
– William Shakespeare
