Answer:

The line 'tears exhibit my tongue' has been taken from Act 2 Scene 3 of The Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare.

Lancelot is leaving Shylock's service and is biding goodbye to Jessica, Shylock's daughter. He is very upset at leaving Jessica.

The line indicates that he is very sad and openly crying. Thus, Lancelot's tears are a way to express his sad words of farewell that wants to express while leaving.
