Signior Horatio stoop'd in happy time!
Horatio.
I reap'd more grace than I deserv'd or hop'd.
Lorenzo.
My lord, be not dismay'd for what is pass'd;
You know that women oft are humorous:[81]
These clouds will overblow with little wind;
Let me alone, I'll scatter them myself.
Meanwhile, let us devise to spend the time
In some delightful[82] sports and revelling.[83]
Horatio.
The king, my lords,[84] is coming hither straight,
To feast the Portingal ambassador:
Things were in readiness, before I came.
Balthazar.
Then here it fits us to attend the king,
To welcome hither our ambassador,
And learn my father and my country's health.
Enter the Banquet, Trumpets, the King, and Ambassador.
