Hamlet Antiquity forgot, custom not known, The ratifiers and props of every word, They cry ‘Choose we! Laertes shall be king!’ Caps, hands, and tongues applaud it to the clouds, ‘Laertes shall be king! Laertes king!’ QUEEN How cheerfully on the false trail they cry! O, this is counter, you false Danish dogs! [A noise within.] KING The doors are broke. [Enter Laertes, armed; Danes following.] LAERTES Where is this king?--Sirs, stand you all without. DANES No, let’s come in. LAERTES I pray you, give me leave. DANES We will, we will. [They retire without the door.] LAERTES I thank you:--keep the door.--O thou vile king, Give me my father! QUEEN Calmly, good Laertes. LAERTES That drop of blood that’s calm proclaims me bastard; Cries cuckold to my father; brands the harlot Even here, between the chaste unsmirched brow Of my true mother. KING What is the cause, Laertes, That thy rebellion looks so giant-like?-- Let him go, Gertrude; do not fear our person: There’s such divinity doth hedge a king, 104 Hamlet That treason can but peep to what it would, Acts little of his will.--Tell me, Laertes, Why thou art thus incens’d.--Let him go, Gertrude:-- Speak, man. LAERTES Where is my father? KING Dead. QUEEN But not by him. KING Let him demand his fill. LAERTES How came he dead? I’ll not be juggled with: To hell, allegiance! vows, to the blackest devil! Conscience and grace, to the profoundest pit!

LAERTES My will, not all the world: And for my means, I’ll husband them so well, They shall go far with little. KING Good Laertes, If you desire to know the certainty Of your dear father’s death, is’t writ in your revenge That, sweepstake, you will draw both friend and foe, Winner and loser?

<strong>Hamlet</strong><br />
Antiquity forgot, custom not known,<br />
The ratifiers and props of every word,<br />
They cry ‘Choose we! Laertes shall be king!’<br />
Caps, hands, and tongues applaud it to the clouds,<br />
‘Laertes shall be king! Laertes king!’<br />
QUEEN<br />
How cheerfully on the false trail they cry!<br />
O, this is counter, you false Danish dogs!<br />
[A noise within.]<br />
KING<br />
The doors are broke.<br />
[Enter Laertes, armed; Danes following.]<br />
LAERTES<br />
Where is this king?--Sirs, stand you all without.<br />
DANES<br />
No, let’s come in.<br />
LAERTES<br />
I pray you, give me leave.<br />
DANES<br />
We will, we will.<br />
[They retire without the door.]<br />
LAERTES<br />
I thank you:--keep the door.--O thou vile king,<br />
Give me my father!<br />
QUEEN<br />
Calmly, good Laertes.<br />
LAERTES<br />
That drop of blood that’s calm proclaims me bastard;<br />
Cries cuckold to my father; brands the harlot<br />
Even here, between the chaste unsmirched brow<br />
Of my true mother.<br />
KING<br />
What is the cause, Laertes,<br />
That thy rebellion looks so giant-like?--<br />
Let him go, Gertrude; do not fear our person:<br />
There’s such divinity doth hedge a king,<br />
104<br />
<strong>Hamlet</strong><br />
That treason can but peep to what it would,<br />
Acts little of his will.--Tell me, Laertes,<br />
Why thou art thus incens’d.--Let him go, Gertrude:--<br />
Speak, man.<br />
LAERTES<br />
Where is my father?<br />
KING<br />
Dead.<br />
QUEEN<br />
But not <strong>by</strong> him.<br />
KING<br />
Let him demand his fill.<br />
LAERTES<br />
How came he dead? I’ll not be juggled with:<br />
To hell, allegiance! vows, to the blackest devil!<br />
Conscience and grace, to the profoundest pit!<br />
I dare damnation:--to this point I stand,--<br />
That both the worlds, I give to negligence,<br />
Let come what comes; only I’ll be reveng’d<br />
Most throughly for my father.<br />
KING<br />
Who shall stay you?<br />
LAERTES<br />
My will, not all the world:<br />
And for my means, I’ll husband them so well,<br />
They shall go far with little.<br />
KING<br />
Good Laertes,<br />
If you desire to know the certainty<br />
Of your dear father’s death, is’t writ in your revenge<br />
That, sweepstake, you will draw both friend and foe,<br />
Winner and loser?<br />
LAERTES<br />
None but his enemies.<br />
KING<br />
Will you know them then?<br />
LAERTES<br />
To his good friends thus wide I’ll ope my arms;<br />
