Pol. He will come straight. Look you lay home to him;
Tell him his pranks have been too broad to bear with,
And that your Grace hath screen'd and stood between
Much heat and him. I'll silence me e'en here. 4
Pray you, be round with him.

Ham. (Within.) Mother, mother, mother!

Queen. I'll warrant you;
Fear me not. Withdraw, I hear him coming.

Ham. Now, mother, what's the matter? 8

Queen. Hamlet, thou hast thy father much offended.

Ham. Mother, you have my father much offended.

Queen. Come, come, you answer with an idle tongue.

Ham. Go, go, you question with a wicked tongue. 12

Queen. Why, how now, Hamlet!

Ham. What's the matter now?

Queen. Have you forgot me?

Ham. No, by the rood, not so:
You are the queen, your husband's brother's wife;
And,—would it were not so!—you are my mother. 16

Queen. Nay then, I'll set those to you that can speak.
