Yes, faith, heartily. Hor. And much offence too. Touching this vision here, Give me one poor request. Hor. What is 't, my lord? we will. 141 Ham. Never make known what you have seen to-night. Ham. Indeed, upon my sword, indeed. Ghost. [Beneath] Swear. Ham. Ah, ha, boy! say'st thou so? art thou there, true Hor. penny? Come on: you hear this fellow in the cellarage: Propose the oath, my lord. Ham. Never to speak of this that you have seen, Swear by my sword. Ghost. [Beneath] Swear. Ham. Hic et ubique? then we 'll shift our ground. And lay your hands again upon my sword: 150 Never to speak of this that you have heard, Swear by my sword. Ghost. [Beneath] Swear. 160 Ham. Well said, old mole! canst work i' the earth so fast? A worthy pioner! Once more remove, good friends. Hor. O day and night, but this is wondrous strange! Ham. And therefore as a stranger give it welcome. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, But come; Here, as before, never, so help you mercy, That you, at such times seeing me, never shall, 170 As 'Well, well, we know,' or 'We could, an if we would.' Or If we list to speak,' or 'There be, an if they might,' Or such ambiguous giving out, to note That you know aught of me: this not to do, So grace and mercy at your most need help you, 180 Chost. [Beneath] Swear. Ham. Rest, rest, perturbed spirit! [They swear.] So, gentlemen, With all my love I do commend me to you: And what so poor a man as Hamlet is May do, to express his love and friending to you, The time is out of joint: O cursed spite, Nay, come, let's go together. ACT SECOND. Scene I. A room in Polonius's house. Enter Polonius and Reynaldo. 190 [Exeunt. Pol. Give him this money and these notes, Reynaldo. Pol. You shall do marvellous wisely, good Reynaldo, Rey. Of his behaviour. My lord, I did intend it. Pol. Marry, well said, very well said. Look you, sir, What company, at what expense, and finding ΙΟ That they do know my son, come you more nearer And in part him': do you mark this, Reynaldo? Pol. And in part him; but,' you may say, 'not well: Addicted so and so'; and there put on him What forgeries you please; marry, none so rank 20 Rey. But, sir, such wanton, wild and usual slips As gaming, my lord. Pol. Ay, or drinking, fencing, swearing, quarrelling, Drabbing: you may go so far. Rey. My lord, that would dishonour him. Pol. Faith, no; as you may season it in the charge. Rey. You must not put another scandal on him, 30 That's not my meaning: but breathe his faults so quaintly That they may seem the taints of liberty, The flash and outbreak of a fiery mind, A savageness in unreclaimed blood, But, my good lord, Ay, my lord, Marry, sir, here's my drift, And I believe it is a fetch of warrant: Your party in converse, him you would sound, 40 Rey. Very good, my lord. Pol. And then, sir, does he this he does-what was I about to say? By the mass, I was about 50 to say something: where did I leave? Rey. At closes in the consequence,' at 'friend or so,' and 'gentleman.' Pol. At closes in the consequence,' ay, marry; He closes with you thus: I know the gentleman; Or then, or then, with such, or such, and, as you say, 'I saw him enter such a house of sale,' See you now; Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth: With windlasses and with assays of bias, By indirections find directions out: So, by my former lecture and advice, Shall you my son. You have me, have you not? Rey. My lord, I have. Pol. Rey. Good my lord! 60 God be wi' ye; fare ye well. 70 |
