Swear. Well said old Mole, canst work i' th' ground so fast? A worthy Pioneer, once more remove good friends. Oh day and night: but this is wondrous strange. And therefore as a stranger give it welcome. There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, Then are dreamt of in our Philosophy. But come, Here as before, never so help you mercy, How strange or odd so ere I bear myself; (As I perchance hereafter shall think meet To put an Antic disposition on:) That you at such time seeing me, never shall With Arms encumbered thus, or thus, head shake; Or by pronouncing of some doubtful Phrase; As well, we know, or we could and if we would, Or if we list to speak; or there be and if there 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: Swear. Swear. Rest, rest perturbed Spirit: so Gentlemen, With all my love I do commend me to you; And what so poor a man as Hamlet is, May do t' express his love and friending to you, God willing shall not lack: let us go in together, And still your fingers on your lips I pray, The time is out of joint: Oh cursed spite, That ever I was borne to set it right. Nay, come let's go together. Give him his money, and these notes Reynoldo. I will my Lord. You shall do marvels wisely: good Reynoldo, Before you visit him you make inquiry Of his behaviour. My Lord, I did intent it. Marry, well said; Very well said. Look you Sir, Inquire me first what Danskers are in Paris; And how, and who; what means; and where they keep: What company, at what expense: and finding By this encompassement and drift of question, That they do know my son: Come you more nearer Than your particular demands will touch it, Take you as 'twere some distant knowledge of him, And thus I know his father and his friends, And in part him. Do you mark this Reynoldo? I, very well my Lord. And in part him, but you may say not well; But if't be he I mean, he's very wild; Addicted so and so; and there put on him What forgeries you please: marry, none so rank, As may dishonour him; take heed of that: But Sir, such wanton, wild, and usual slips, As are Companions noted and most known To youth and liberty. As gaming my Lord. I, or drinking, fencing, swearing, quarreling, drabbing. You may go so far. My Lord that would dishonour him. Faith no, as you may season it in the charge; You must not put another scandal on him, That he is open to Incontinency; That's not my meaning: but breathe his faults so quaintly, That they may seem the taints of liberty; The flash and out-breake of a fiery mind, A savageness in unreclaimed blood of general assault. But my good Lord.

Sweare. Well ſaid old Mole, can'ſt worke i' th' ground ſo faſt? A worthy Pioner, once more remoue good friends. Oh day and night: but this is wondrous ſtrange. And therefore as a ſtranger giue it welcome. There are more things in Heauen and Earth, Horatio, Then are dream't of in our Philoſophy. But come, Here as before, neuer ſo helpe you mercy, How ſtrange or odde ſo ere I beare my ſelfe; (As I perchance heereafter ſhall thinke meet To put an Anticke diſpoſition on:) That you at ſuch time ſeeing me, neuer ſhall With Armes encombred thus, or thus, head ſhake; Or by pronouncing of ſome doubtfull Phraſe; As well, we know, or we could and if we would, Or if we liſt to ſpeake; or there be and if there might, Or ſuch ambiguous giuing out to note, That you know ought of me; this not to doe: So grace and mercy at your moſt neede helpe you: Sweare. Sweare. Reſt, reſt perturbed Spirit: ſo Gentlemen, With all my loue I doe commend me to you; And what ſo poore a man as Hamlet is, May doe t' expreſſe his loue and friending to you, God willing ſhall not lacke: let vs goe in together, And ſtill your fingers on your lippes I pray, The time is out of ioynt: Oh curſed ſpight, That euer I was borne to ſet it right. Nay, come let's goe together. Giue him his money, and theſe notes Reynoldo. I will my Lord. You ſhall doe maruels wiſely: good Reynoldo, Before you viſite him you make inquiry Of his behauiour. My Lord, I did intend it. Marry, well ſaid; Very well ſaid. Looke you Sir, Enquire me firſt what Danskers are in Paris; And how, and who; what meanes; and where they keepe: What company, at what expence: and finding By this encompaſſement and drift of queſtion, That they doe know my ſonne: Come you more neerer Then your particular demands will touch it, Take you as 'twere ſome diſtant knowledge of him, And thus I know his father and his friends, And in part him. Doe you marke this Reynoldo? I, very well my Lord. And in part him, but you may ſay not well; But if't be hee I meane, hees very wilde; Addicted ſo and ſo; and there put on him What forgeries you pleaſe: marry, none ſo ranke, As may diſhonour him; take heed of that: But Sir, ſuch wanton, wild, and vſuall ſlips, As are Companions noted and moſt knowne To youth and liberty. As gaming my Lord. I, or drinking, fencing, ſwearing, Quarelling, drabbing. You may goe ſo farre. My Lord that would diſhonour him. Faith no, as you may ſeaſon it in the charge; You muſt not put another ſcandall on him, That hee is open to Incontinencie; That's not my meaning: but breath his faults ſo quaintly, That they may ſeeme the taints of liberty; The flaſh and out-breake of a fiery minde, A ſauagenes in vnreclaim'd bloud of generall aſſault. But my good Lord.
