<A NAME=14>Take you me for a sponge, my lord?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech12><b>HAMLET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=15>Ay, sir, that soaks up the king's countenance, his</A><br>
<A NAME=16>rewards, his authorities. But such officers do the</A><br>
<A NAME=17>king best service in the end: he keeps them, like</A><br>
<A NAME=18>an ape, in the corner of his jaw; first mouthed, to</A><br>
<A NAME=19>be last swallowed: when he needs what you have</A><br>
<A NAME=20>gleaned, it is but squeezing you, and, sponge, you</A><br>
<A NAME=21>shall be dry again.</A><br>

<blockquote>
<A NAME=27>The body is with the king, but the king is not with</A><br>
<A NAME=28>the body. The king is a thing--</A><br>
