Sir, my life is yours;

Hold me your loyal servant.
FIRST LORD
Good my liege,
The day that she was missing he was here:
I dare be bound he’s true and shall perform
All parts of his subjection loyally. For Cloten,
There wants no diligence in seeking him,
And will, no doubt, be found.

The time is troublesome.
We’ll slip you for a season; but our jealousy
Does yet depend.
