SCENE III. Another room in the castle.
|
|
|
|
Enter KING CLAUDIUS, attended
|
|
|
|
KING CLAUDIUS
|
|
|
|
I have sent to seek him, and to find the body.
|
|
How dangerous is it that this man goes loose!
|
|
Yet must not we put the strong law on him:
|
|
He's loved of the distracted multitude,
|
|
Who like not in their judgment, but their eyes;
|
|
And where tis so, the offender's scourge is weigh'd,
|
|
But never the offence. To bear all smooth and even,
|
|
This sudden sending him away must seem
|
|
Deliberate pause: diseases desperate grown
|
|
By desperate appliance are relieved,
|
|
Or not at all.
|
|
|
|
Enter ROSENCRANTZ
|
|
How now! what hath befall'n?
|
|
|
|
ROSENCRANTZ
|
|
|
|
Where the dead body is bestow'd, my lord,
|
|
We cannot get from him.
|
|
|
|
KING CLAUDIUS
|
|
|
|
But where is he?
|
|
|
|
ROSENCRANTZ
|
|
|
|
Without, my lord; guarded, to know your pleasure.
|
|
|
|
KING CLAUDIUS
|
|
|
|
Bring him before us.
|
|
|
|
ROSENCRANTZ
|
|
|
|
Ho, Guildenstern! bring in my lord.
|
|
|
|
Enter HAMLET and GUILDENSTERN
|
|
|
|
KING CLAUDIUS
|
|
|
|
Now, Hamlet, where's Polonius?
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
At supper.
|
|
|
|
KING CLAUDIUS
|
|
|
|
At supper! where?
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
Not where he eats, but where he is eaten: a certain
|
|
convocation of politic worms are e'en at him. Your
|
|
worm is your only emperor for diet: we fat all
|
|
creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for
|
|
maggots: your fat king and your lean beggar is but
|
|
variable service, two dishes, but to one table:
|
|
that's the end.
|
|
|
|
KING CLAUDIUS
|
|
|
|
Alas, alas!
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a
|
|
king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm.
|
|
|
|
KING CLAUDIUS
|
|
|
|
What dost you mean by this?
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
Nothing but to show you how a king may go a
|
|
progress through the guts of a beggar.
|
|
|
|
KING CLAUDIUS
|
|
|
|
Where is Polonius?
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
In heaven; send hither to see: if your messenger
|
|
find him not there, seek him i' the other place
|
|
yourself. But indeed, if you find him not within
|
|
this month, you shall nose him as you go up the
|
|
stairs into the lobby.
|
|
|
|
KING CLAUDIUS
|
|
|
|
Go seek him there.
|
|
|
|
To some Attendants
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
He will stay till ye come.
|
|
|
|
Exeunt Attendants
|
|
|
|
KING CLAUDIUS
|
|
|
|
Hamlet, this deed, for thine especial safety,--
|
|
Which we do tender, as we dearly grieve
|
|
For that which thou hast done,--must send thee hence
|
|
With fiery quickness: therefore prepare thyself;
|
|
The bark is ready, and the wind at help,
|
|
The associates tend, and every thing is bent
|
|
For England.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
For England!
|
|
|
|
KING CLAUDIUS
|
|
|
|
Ay, Hamlet.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
Good.
|
|
|
|
KING CLAUDIUS
|
|
|
|
So is it, if thou knew'st our purposes.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
I see a cherub that sees them. But, come; for
|
|
England! Farewell, dear mother.
|
|
|
|
KING CLAUDIUS
|
|
|
|
Thy loving father, Hamlet.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
My mother: father and mother is man and wife; man
|
|
and wife is one flesh; and so, my mother. Come, for England!
|
|
|
|
Exit
|
|
|
|
KING CLAUDIUS
|
|
|
|
Follow him at foot; tempt him with speed aboard;
|
|
Delay it not; I'll have him hence to-night:
|
|
Away! for every thing is seal'd and done
|
|
That else leans on the affair: pray you, make haste.
|
|
|
|
Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN
|
|
And, England, if my love thou hold'st at aught--
|
|
As my great power thereof may give thee sense,
|
|
Since yet thy cicatrice looks raw and red
|
|
After the Danish sword, and thy free awe
|
|
Pays homage to us--thou mayst not coldly set
|
|
Our sovereign process; which imports at full,
|
|
By letters congruing to that effect,
|
|
The present death of Hamlet. Do it, England;
|
|
For like the hectic in my blood he rages,
|
|
And thou must cure me: till I know 'tis done,
|
|
Howe'er my haps, my joys were ne'er begun.
|
|
|
|
Exit
