Oph. The king rises.
Ham. What! frighted with false fire?
Queen. How fares my lord?
Pol. Give o'er the play. 284
King. Give me some light: away!
All. Lights, lights, lights!
Exeunt all but Hamlet and Horatio.
Ham. "Why, let the stricken deer go weep,
The hart ungalled play; 288
For some must watch, while some must sleep:
So runs the world away."
Would not this, sir, and a forest of feathers, if
the rest of my fortunes turn Turk with me, with
two Provincial roses on my razed shoes, get me
a fellowship in a cry of players, sir?
Hor. Half a share.
Ham. A whole one, I. 296
"For thou dost know, O Damon dear,
This realm dismantled was
Of Jove himself; and now reigns here
A very, very—pajock." 300
Hor. You might have rimed.
Ham. O good Horatio! I'll take the ghost's
word for a thousand pound. Didst perceive?
Hor. Very well, my lord. 304
Ham. Upon the talk of the poisoning?
Hor. I did very well note him.
