<H3>SCENE III. Another room in the castle.</h3>

<p><blockquote>
<i>Enter KING CLAUDIUS, attended</i>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech1><b>KING CLAUDIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1>I have sent to seek him, and to find the body.</A><br>
<A NAME=2>How dangerous is it that this man goes loose!</A><br>
<A NAME=3>Yet must not we put the strong law on him:</A><br>
<A NAME=4>He's loved of the distracted multitude,</A><br>
<A NAME=5>Who like not in their judgment, but their eyes;</A><br>
<A NAME=6>And where tis so, the offender's scourge is weigh'd,</A><br>
<A NAME=7>But never the offence. To bear all smooth and even,</A><br>
<A NAME=8>This sudden sending him away must seem</A><br>
<A NAME=9>Deliberate pause: diseases desperate grown</A><br>
<A NAME=10>By desperate appliance are relieved,</A><br>
<A NAME=11>Or not at all.</A><br>
<p><i>Enter ROSENCRANTZ</i></p>
<A NAME=12>How now! what hath befall'n?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech2><b>ROSENCRANTZ</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=13>Where the dead body is bestow'd, my lord,</A><br>
<A NAME=14>We cannot get from him.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech3><b>KING CLAUDIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=15>But where is he?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech4><b>ROSENCRANTZ</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=16>Without, my lord; guarded, to know your pleasure.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech5><b>KING CLAUDIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=17>Bring him before us.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech6><b>ROSENCRANTZ</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=18>Ho, Guildenstern! bring in my lord.</A><br>
<p><i>Enter HAMLET and GUILDENSTERN</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech7><b>KING CLAUDIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=19>Now, Hamlet, where's Polonius?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech8><b>HAMLET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=20>At supper.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech9><b>KING CLAUDIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=21>At supper! where?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech10><b>HAMLET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=22>Not where he eats, but where he is eaten: a certain</A><br>
<A NAME=23>convocation of politic worms are e'en at him. Your</A><br>
<A NAME=24>worm is your only emperor for diet: we fat all</A><br>
<A NAME=25>creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for</A><br>
<A NAME=26>maggots: your fat king and your lean beggar is but</A><br>
<A NAME=27>variable service, two dishes, but to one table:</A><br>
<A NAME=28>that's the end.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech11><b>KING CLAUDIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=29>Alas, alas!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech12><b>HAMLET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=30>A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a</A><br>
<A NAME=31>king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech13><b>KING CLAUDIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=32>What dost you mean by this?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech14><b>HAMLET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=33>Nothing but to show you how a king may go a</A><br>
<A NAME=34>progress through the guts of a beggar.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech15><b>KING CLAUDIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=35>Where is Polonius?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech16><b>HAMLET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=36>In heaven; send hither to see: if your messenger</A><br>
<A NAME=37>find him not there, seek him i' the other place</A><br>
<A NAME=38>yourself. But indeed, if you find him not within</A><br>
<A NAME=39>this month, you shall nose him as you go up the</A><br>
<A NAME=40>stairs into the lobby.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech17><b>KING CLAUDIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=41>Go seek him there.</A><br>
<p><i>To some Attendants</i></p>

<blockquote>
<A NAME=42>He will stay till ye come.</A><br>
<p><i>Exeunt Attendants</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech19><b>KING CLAUDIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=43>Hamlet, this deed, for thine especial safety,--</A><br>
<A NAME=44>Which we do tender, as we dearly grieve</A><br>
<A NAME=45>For that which thou hast done,--must send thee hence</A><br>
<A NAME=46>With fiery quickness: therefore prepare thyself;</A><br>
<A NAME=47>The bark is ready, and the wind at help,</A><br>
<A NAME=48>The associates tend, and every thing is bent</A><br>
<A NAME=49>For England.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech20><b>HAMLET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=50>                  For England!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech21><b>KING CLAUDIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=51>Ay, Hamlet.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech22><b>HAMLET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=52>Good.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech23><b>KING CLAUDIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=53>So is it, if thou knew'st our purposes.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech24><b>HAMLET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=54>I see a cherub that sees them. But, come; for</A><br>
<A NAME=55>England! Farewell, dear mother.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech25><b>KING CLAUDIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=56>Thy loving father, Hamlet.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech26><b>HAMLET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=57>My mother: father and mother is man and wife; man</A><br>
<A NAME=58>and wife is one flesh; and so, my mother. Come, for England!</A><br>
<p><i>Exit</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech27><b>KING CLAUDIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=59>Follow him at foot; tempt him with speed aboard;</A><br>
<A NAME=60>Delay it not; I'll have him hence to-night:</A><br>
<A NAME=61>Away! for every thing is seal'd and done</A><br>
<A NAME=62>That else leans on the affair: pray you, make haste.</A><br>
<p><i>Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN</i></p>
<A NAME=63>And, England, if my love thou hold'st at aught--</A><br>
<A NAME=64>As my great power thereof may give thee sense,</A><br>
<A NAME=65>Since yet thy cicatrice looks raw and red</A><br>
<A NAME=66>After the Danish sword, and thy free awe</A><br>
<A NAME=67>Pays homage to us--thou mayst not coldly set</A><br>
<A NAME=68>Our sovereign process; which imports at full,</A><br>
<A NAME=69>By letters congruing to that effect,</A><br>
<A NAME=70>The present death of Hamlet. Do it, England;</A><br>
<A NAME=71>For like the hectic in my blood he rages,</A><br>
<A NAME=72>And thou must cure me: till I know 'tis done,</A><br>
<A NAME=73>Howe'er my haps, my joys were ne'er begun.</A><br>
<p><i>Exit</i></p>
