Ham. How purposed, sir, I pray you?[1643][1645][1647]

Cap. Against some part of Poland.[1643][1645][1648]

Ham. Who commands them, sir?[1643][1645]

Cap. The nephew to old Norway, Fortinbras.[1645][1649]

Ham. Goes it against the main of Poland, sir,[1645] 15
Or for some frontier?[1645]

Cap. Truly to speak, and with no addition,[1645][1650]
We go to gain a little patch of ground[1645]
That hath in it no profit but the name.[1645]
To pay five ducats, five, I would not farm it;[1645][1651] 20
Nor will it yield to Norway or the Pole[1645]
A ranker rate, should it be sold in fee.[1645][1652]

Ham. Why, then the Polack never will defend it.[1645]

Cap. Yes, it is already garrison'd.[1645][1653]

Ham. Two thousand souls and twenty thousand ducats[1645][1654][1655] 25
Will not debate the question of this straw:[1645][1655]
This is the imposthume of much wealth and peace,[1645]
That inward breaks, and shows no cause without[1645]
Why the man dies. I humbly thank you, sir.[1645]

Cap. God be wi' you, sir. [Exit.[1645]
