| <A NAME=9>you, sir; it comes from the ambassador that was</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=10>bound for England; if your name be Horatio, as I am</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=11>let to know it is.</A><br> | |

| <A NAME=12>[Reads] 'Horatio, when thou shalt have overlooked</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=13>this, give these fellows some means to the king:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=14>they have letters for him. Ere we were two days old</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=15>at sea, a pirate of very warlike appointment gave us</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=16>chase. Finding ourselves too slow of sail, we put on</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=17>a compelled valour, and in the grapple I boarded</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=18>them: on the instant they got clear of our ship; so</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=19>I alone became their prisoner. They have dealt with</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=20>me like thieves of mercy: but they knew what they</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=21>did; I am to do a good turn for them. Let the king</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=22>have the letters I have sent; and repair thou to me</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=23>with as much speed as thou wouldst fly death. I</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=24>have words to speak in thine ear will make thee</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=25>dumb; yet are they much too light for the bore of</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=26>the matter. These good fellows will bring thee</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=27>where I am. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern hold their</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=28>course for England: of them I have much to tell</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=29>thee. Farewell.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=30>'He that thou knowest thine, HAMLET.'</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=31>Come, I will make you way for these your letters;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=32>And do't the speedier, that you may direct me</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=33>To him from whom you brought them.</A><br> | |
