words are not mine93.
To Polonius
HAMLET No, nor mine now.-- My lord, you
played once i'th'university, you say?
POLONIUS That I did, my lord, and was accounted a good actor.
HAMLET And what did you enact?
POLONIUS I did enact Julius Caesar: I was killed i'th'Capitol98:
Brutus killed me.
HAMLET It was a brute part of him to kill so capital a calf100
there.-- Be the players ready?
ROSENCRANTZ Ay, my lord: they stay upon your patience102.
GERTRUDE Come hither, my good Hamlet, sit by me.
HAMLET No, good mother, here's metal more attractive104.
To King
POLONIUS O, ho! Do you mark that?
HAMLET Lady, shall I lie in your lap106?
OPHELIA No, my lord.
HAMLET I mean, my head upon your lap?
OPHELIA Ay, my lord.
HAMLET Do you think I meant country matters110?
OPHELIA I think nothing, my lord.
HAMLET That's a fair thought to lie between maids' legs.
OPHELIA What is, my lord?
HAMLET Nothing114.
OPHELIA You are merry, my lord.
HAMLET Who, I?
OPHELIA Ay, my lord.
HAMLET O, God, your only jig-maker118. What should a man do
but be merry? For look you how cheerfully my mother looks,
and my father died within's two hours.
