Queen. Good gentlemen, he hath much talk'd of you,
And sure I am two men there are not living[650] 20
To whom he more adheres. If it will please you
To show us so much gentry and good will[651]
As to expend your time with us awhile[652]
For the supply and profit of our hope,
Your visitation shall receive such thanks[653] 25
As fits a king's remembrance.
Ros. Both your majesties
Might, by the sovereign power you have of us,[654]
Put your dread pleasures more into command
Than to entreaty.
Guil. But we both obey,[655]
And here give up ourselves, in the full bent 30
To lay our service freely at your feet,[656]
To be commanded.[657]
King. Thanks, Rosencrantz and gentle Guildenstern.[640][641]
Queen. Thanks, Guildenstern and gentle Rosencrantz:[640][641]
And I beseech you instantly to visit 35
My too much changed son. Go, some of you,[658]
And bring these gentlemen where Hamlet is.[659]
Guil. Heavens make our presence and our practices
Pleasant and helpful to him!
Queen. Ay, amen!
[Exeunt Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, and some Attendants.[660]
Enter Polonius.
