who with best meaning have incurred the
worst. For thee, oppressed king, am I cast
down. (107)

not.

have, as I do remember, done me wrong.
You have some cause; they have not. (101)

Power Sit you down, father; rest you.

Lets see these pockets: the letters that he
speaks of
may be my friends. Hes dead; I am only
sorry he had no other deathsman. (97)

Social Class Kent, sir, the banished Kent, who in disguise

followed his enemy king, and did him service
improper for a slave. (114)

Justice Th' hast spoken right. 'Tis true.

The wheel is come full circle; I am here.
