1 Away, I do beseech you, both away I'll board him presently.
2 Mad as the sea and wind, when both contend Which is the mightier.
3 I have seen you both; But since he is better'd, we have therefore odds.
4 Let's further think of this, Weigh what convenience both of time and means May fit us to our shape.
5 Faith, there has been much to do on both sides; and the nation holds it no sin to tarre them to controversy.
6 We both obey, And here give up ourselves, in the full bent, To lay our service freely at your feet To be commanded.
7 Neither a borrower nor a lender be: For loan oft loses both itself and friend; And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
8 Give him heedful note; For I mine eyes will rivet to his face; And after we will both our judgments join In censure of his seeming.
9 Friends both, go join you with some further aid: Hamlet in madness hath Polonius slain, And from his mother's closet hath he dragg'd him.
10 To this point I stand, That both the worlds, I give to negligence, Let come what comes; only I'll be reveng'd Most throughly for my father.
11 And for your part, Ophelia, I do wish That your good beauties be the happy cause Of Hamlet's wildness: so shall I hope your virtues Will bring him to his wonted way again, To both your honours.
12 This to me In dreadful secrecy impart they did, And I with them the third night kept the watch, Where, as they had deliver'd, both in time, Form of the thing, each word made true and good, The apparition comes.
13 I do know, When the blood burns, how prodigal the soul Lends the tongue vows: these blazes, daughter, Giving more light than heat, extinct in both, Even in their promise, as it is a-making, You must not take for fire.
14 Come, Gertrude, we'll call up our wisest friends, And let them know both what we mean to do And what's untimely done, so haply slander, Whose whisper o'er the world's diameter, As level as the cannon to his blank, Transports his poison'd shot, may miss our name, And hit the woundless air.
15 I entreat you both That, being of so young days brought up with him, And since so neighbour'd to his youth and humour, That you vouchsafe your rest here in our court Some little time, so by your companies To draw him on to pleasures and to gather, So much as from occasion you may glean, Whether aught to us unknown afflicts him thus That, open'd, lies within our remedy.
