Wherefore should you do this? I my Lord, I would know that. Marry Sir, here's my drift, And I believe it is a fetch of warrant: You laying these slight sulleyes on my Son, As 'twere a thing a little soiled i' th' working: Mark you your party in converse; him you would sound, Having ever seen. In the prenominate crimes, The youth you breath of guilty, be assured He closes with you in this consequence: Good sir, or so, or friend, or Gentleman. According to the Phrase and the Addition, Of man and Country. Very good my Lord. And then Sir does he this? He does: what was I about to say? I was about to say something: where did I leave? At closes in the consequence: At friend, or so, and Gentleman. At closes in the consequence, I marry, He closes with you thus. I know the Gentleman, I saw him yesterday, or other day; Or then or then, with such and such; and as you say, There was he gaming, there o'er took in's Rouse, There falling out at Tennis; or perchance, I saw him enter such a house of sail; Videlicet, a Brothel, or so forth. See you now; Your bait of falsehood, takes this Cape of truth; And thus do we of wisdom and of reach With windlesses, 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? My Lord I have. God buy you; far you well. Good my Lord. Observe his inclination in yourself. I shall my Lord. And let him ply his Music. Well, my Lord. Farewell: How now Ophelia, what's the matter? Alas my Lord, I have been so affrighted. With what, in the name of Heaven? My Lord, as I was sowing in my Chamber, Lord Hamlet with his doublet all unbraced, No hat upon his head, his stockings fouled, Ungartered, and down gived to his Ankle, Pale as his shirt, his knees knocking each other, And with a look so piteous in purport, As if he had been loosed out of hell, To speak of horrors: he comes before me. Mad for thy Love? My Lord, I do not know: but truly I do fear it. What said he? He took me by the wrist, and held me hard; Then goes he to the length of all his arm; And with his other hand thus o'er his brow, He falls to such perusal of my face, As he would draw it. Long stayed he so, At last, a little shaking of mine Arm: And thrice his head thus waving up and down; He raised a sigh, so piteous and profound, That it did seem to shatter all his bulk, And end his being. That done, he lets me go, And with his head over his shoulders turned, He seemed to find his way without his eyes, For out adores he went without their help; And to the last, bended their light on me.

Wherefore ſhould you doe this? I my Lord, I would know that. Marry Sir, heere's my drift, And I belieue it is a fetch of warrant: You laying theſe ſlight ſulleyes on my Sonne, As 'twere a thing a little ſoil'd i' th' working: Marke you your party in conuerſe; him you would ſound, Hauing euer ſeene. In the prenominate crimes, The youth you breath of guilty, be aſſur'd He cloſes with you in this conſequence: Good ſir, or ſo, or friend, or Gentleman. According to the Phraſe and the Addition▪ Of man and Country. Very good my Lord. And then Sir does he this? He does: what was I about to ſay? I was about to ſay ſomthing: where did I leaue? At cloſes in the conſequence: At friend, or ſo, and Gentleman. At cloſes in the conſequence, I marry, He cloſes with you thus. I know the Gentleman, I ſaw him yeſterday, or tother day; Or then or then, with ſuch and ſuch; and as you ſay, There was he gaming, there o're tooke in's Rouſe, There falling out at Tennis; or perchance, I ſaw him enter ſuch a houſe of ſaile; Videlicet, a Brothell, or ſo forth. See you now; Your bait of falſhood, takes this Cape of truth; And thus doe we of wiſedome and of reach With windleſſes, and with aſſaies of Bias, By indirections finde directions out: So by my former Lecture and aduice Shall you my Sonne; you haue me, haue you not? My Lord I haue. God buy you; fare you well. Good my Lord. Obſerue his inclination in your ſelfe. I ſhall my Lord. And let him plye his Muſicke. Well, my Lord. Farewell: How now Ophelia, what's the matter? Alas my Lord, I haue beene ſo affrighted. With what, in the name of Heauen? My Lord, as I was ſowing in my Chamber, Lord Hamlet with his doublet all vnbrac'd, No hat vpon his head, his ſtockings foul'd, Vngartred, and downe giued to his Anckle, Pale as his ſhirt, his knees knocking each other, And with a looke ſo pitious in purport, As if he had been looſed out of hell, To ſpeake of horrors: he comes before me. Mad for thy Loue? My Lord, I doe not know: but truly I do feare it. What ſaid he? He tooke me by the wriſt, and held me hard; Then goes he to the length of all his arme; And with his other hand thus o're his brow, He fals to ſuch peruſall of my face, As he would draw it. Long ſtaid he ſo, At laſt, a little ſhaking of mine Arme: And thrice his head thus wauing vp and downe; He rais'd a ſigh, ſo pittious and profound, That it did ſeeme to ſhatter all his bulke, And end his being. That done, he lets me goe, And with his head ouer his ſhoulders turn'd, He ſeem'd to finde his way without his eyes, For out adores he went without their helpe; And to the laſt, bended their light on me.
