Act4_2_3
[00:00.40] SCENE II. Another room in the castle.
[00:02.15] Enter HAMLET
[00:03.89] HAMLET
[00:04.90] Safely stowed.
[00:06.15] ROSENCRANTZ: GUILDENSTERN:
[00:07.65] [Within] Hamlet! Lord Hamlet!
[00:12.65] HAMLET
[00:13.40] What noise? who calls on Hamlet?
[00:16.15] O, here they come.
[00:16.65] Enter ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN
[00:17.14] ROSENCRANTZ
[00:17.90] What have you done, my lord, with the dead body?
[00:20.40] HAMLET
[00:20.90] Compounded it with dust, whereto 'tis kin.
[00:21.40] ROSENCRANTZ
[00:21.90] Tell us where 'tis, that we may take it thence
[00:22.90] And bear it to the chapel.
[00:23.40] HAMLET
[00:24.65] Do not believe it.
[00:25.15] ROSENCRANTZ
[00:25.90] Believe what?
[00:26.40] HAMLET
[00:27.90] That I can keep your counsel and not mine own.
[00:29.65] Besides, to be demanded of a sponge! what
[00:30.65] replication should be made by the son of a king?
[00:31.65] ROSENCRANTZ
[00:32.65] Take you me for a sponge, my lord?
[00:34.40] HAMLET
[00:34.90] Ay, sir, that soaks up the king's countenance, his
[00:35.90] rewards, his authorities. But such officers do the
[00:36.65] king best service in the end: he keeps them, like
[00:38.39] an ape, in the corner of his jaw; first mouthed, to
[00:40.65] be last swallowed: when he needs what you have
[00:43.64] gleaned, it is but squeezing you, and, sponge, you
[00:47.15] shall be dry again.
[00:48.64] ROSENCRANTZ
[00:49.16] I understand you not, my lord.
[00:50.15] HAMLET
[00:50.65] I am glad of it: a knavish speech sleeps in a
[00:54.40] foolish ear.
[00:54.90] ROSENCRANTZ
[00:55.65] My lord, you must tell us where the body is, and go
[00:56.90] with us to the king.
[00:58.40] HAMLET
[00:58.90] The body is with the king, but the king is not with
[00:59.90] the body. The king is a thing--
[01:01.40] GUILDENSTERN
[01:02.90] A thing, my lord!
[01:03.40] HAMLET
[01:04.40] Of nothing: bring me to him. Hide fox, and all after.
[01:06.15] Exeunt
[01:08.15] SCENE III. Another room in the castle.
[01:10.40] Enter KING CLAUDIUS, attended
[01:11.90] KING CLAUDIUS
[01:12.66] I have sent to seek him, and to find the body.
[01:14.65] How dangerous is it that this man goes loose!
[01:17.65] Yet must not we put the strong law on him:
[01:20.90] He's loved of the distracted multitude,
[01:22.89] Who like not in their judgment, but their eyes;
[01:24.40] And where tis so, the offender's scourge is weigh'd,
[01:26.40] But never the offence. To bear all smooth and even,
[01:28.40] This sudden sending him away must seem
[01:31.65] Deliberate pause: diseases desperate grown
[01:35.15] By desperate appliance are relieved,
[01:37.65] Or not at all.
[01:39.65] Enter ROSENCRANTZ
[01:41.41] How now! what hath befall'n?
[01:41.90] ROSENCRANTZ
[01:43.66] Where the dead body is bestow'd, my lord,
[01:44.40] We cannot get from him.
[01:45.40] KING CLAUDIUS
[01:45.90] But where is he?
[01:46.91] ROSENCRANTZ
[01:47.65] Without, my lord; guarded, to know your pleasure.
[01:48.15] KING CLAUDIUS
[01:48.65] Bring him before us.
[01:49.90] ROSENCRANTZ
[01:50.40] Ho, Guildenstern! bring in my lord.
[01:51.15] Enter HAMLET and GUILDENSTERN
[01:53.15] KING CLAUDIUS
[01:53.90] Now, Hamlet, where's Polonius?
[01:55.65] HAMLET
[01:56.15] At supper.
[01:56.91] KING CLAUDIUS
[01:57.90] At supper! where?
[01:59.15] HAMLET
[02:00.40] Not where he eats, but where he is eaten: a certain
[02:03.40] convocation of politic worms are e'en at him. Your
[02:04.90] worm is your only emperor for diet: we fat all
[02:06.40] creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for
[02:09.15] maggots: your fat king and your lean beggar is but
[02:11.65] variable service, two dishes, but to one table:
[02:14.40] that's the end.
[02:16.65] KING CLAUDIUS
[02:17.40] Alas, alas!
[02:18.15] HAMLET
[02:18.90] A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a
[02:20.41] king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm.
[02:21.15] KING CLAUDIUS
[02:22.15] What dost you mean by this?
[02:22.65] HAMLET
[02:23.65] Nothing but to show you how a king may go a
[02:25.15] progress through the guts of a beggar.
[02:25.91] KING CLAUDIUS
[02:26.65] Where is Polonius?
[02:28.66] HAMLET
[02:29.40] In heaven; send hither to see: if your messenger
[02:32.15] find him not there, seek him i' the other place
[02:33.91] yourself. But indeed, if you find him not within
[02:36.41] this month, you shall nose him as you go up the
[02:40.90] stairs into the lobby.
[02:41.66] KING CLAUDIUS
[02:43.40] Go seek him there.
[02:43.90] To some Attendants
[02:45.90] HAMLET
[02:46.65] He will stay till ye come.
[02:47.90] Exeunt Attendants
[02:48.40] KING CLAUDIUS
[02:49.15] Hamlet, this deed, for thine especial safety,--
[02:51.65] Which we do tender, as we dearly grieve
[02:54.90] For that which thou hast done,--must send thee hence
[02:56.15] With fiery quickness: therefore prepare thyself;
[02:57.90] The bark is ready, and the wind at help,
[02:59.91] The associates tend, and every thing is bent
[03:01.40] For England.
[03:05.65] HAMLET
[03:06.15] For England!
[03:07.91] KING CLAUDIUS
[03:08.40] Ay, Hamlet.
[03:09.15] HAMLET
[03:10.66] Good.
[03:11.15] KING CLAUDIUS
[03:11.65] So is it, if thou knew'st our purposes.
[03:12.15] HAMLET
[03:12.91] I see a cherub that sees them. But, come; for
[03:14.40] England! Farewell, dear mother.
[03:14.90] KING CLAUDIUS
[03:16.15] Thy loving father, Hamlet.
[03:18.41] HAMLET
[03:19.65] My mother: father and mother is man and wife; man
[03:21.65] and wife is one flesh; and so, my mother. Come, for England!
[03:29.90] Exit
[03:31.66] KING CLAUDIUS
[03:32.15] Follow him at foot; tempt him with speed aboard;
[03:34.16] Delay it not; I'll have him hence to-night:
[03:34.90] Away! for every thing is seal'd and done
[03:38.15] That else leans on the affair: pray you, make haste.
[03:42.65] Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN
[03:43.40] And, England, if my love thou hold'st at aught--
[03:47.16] As my great power thereof may give thee sense,
[03:50.90] Since yet thy cicatrice looks raw and red
[03:52.66] After the Danish sword, and thy free awe
[03:55.15] Pays homage to us--thou mayst not coldly set
[03:58.40] Our sovereign process; which imports at full,
[03:59.91] By letters congruing to that effect,
[04:02.91] The present death of Hamlet. Do it, England;
[04:09.40] For like the hectic in my blood he rages,
[04:12.90] And thou must cure me: till I know 'tis done,
[04:16.65] Howe'er my haps, my joys were ne'er begun.
[00:00.00] Exit
