Lords, we here have writ to Fortenbrasse▪ Nephew to old Norway, who impotent And bedrid, scarcely hears of this his Nephew's purpose: and We here dispatch Young good Cornelu●●, and you Vol 〈…〉 For bearers of these greetings to old Norway, giving to you no further personal power To business with the King, Then those related articles do show: Farewell, and let your haste commend your duty. In this and all things will we show our duty. We doubt nothing, heartily farewell▪ And now Leartes; what's the news with you? You said you had a suit what is't Leartes My gracious Lord, your favourable licence, Now that the funeral rites are all performed, I may have leave to go again to France, For though the favour of your grace might stay me, Yet something is there whispers in my heart, Which makes my mind and spirits bend all for France. Have you your father's leave, Leartes? He hath, my lord, wrung from me aforced grant, And I beseech you grant your highness leave. With all our heart, Leartes far thee well. I in all love and duty take my leave. And now princely Son Hamlet, What means these sad and melancholy moods? For your intent going to Wittenberg, We hold it most unmeet and unconvenient, Being the joy and half heart of your mother. Therefore let me entreat you stay in Court, All Denmark's hope our cousin and dearest Son. My lord, ti's not the sable suit I wear: No nor the tears that still stand in my eyes, Nor the distracted haviour in the visage, Nor all together mixed with outward semblance, Is equal to the sorrow of my heart, Him have I lost I must os force forego, These but the ornaments and suits of woe. This shows a loving care in you, Son Hamlet, But you must think your father lost a father, That father dead, lost his, and so shallbe until the General ending▪ Therefore cease laments; It is a fault 'gainst heaven, fault 'gainst the dead, A fault 'gainst nature, and in reasons Common course most certain, None lives on earth, but he is borne to die. Let not thy mother lose her prayers Hamlet, Stay here with us▪ go not to Wittenberg. I shall in all my best obey you madam. Spoke like a kind and a most loving Son, And there's no health the King shall drink today, But the great Canon to the clouds shall tell The rouse the King shall drink unto Prince Hamlet. O that this too much grieved and sallied flesh Would melt to nothing, or that the universal Globe of heaven would turn all to a Chaos▪ O God, within two months; no not two ● married, Mine uncle: O let me not think of it, My father's brother: but no more like My father, than I to Hercules. Within two months, ere yet the salt of most Unrighteous tears had left their flushing In her galled eyes: she married, O God, a beast
