Pol. The actors are come hither, my lord.

Ham. Buz, buz! 375

Pol. Upon my honour,—[868]

Ham. Then came each actor on his ass,—[869]

Pol. The best actors in the world, either for tragedy,
comedy, history, pastoral, pastoral-comical, historical-pastoral,[870]
tragical-historical, tragical-comical-historical-pastoral,[870][871] 380
scene individable, or poem unlimited: Seneca cannot be too[872]
heavy, nor Plautus too light. For the law of writ and the[873][874][875]
liberty these are the only men.[873][875]

Ham. O Jephthah, judge of Israel, what a treasure[876][877]
hadst thou! 385

Pol. What a treasure had he, my lord?[878]

Ham. Why,[879]
'One fair daughter, and no more,[879]
The which he loved passing well.'[879]

Pol. [Aside] Still on my daughter.[880] 390

Ham. Am I not i' the right, old Jephthah?
