[To Laertes] Strengthen your patience in our last night's speech;[2134]
We'll put the matter to the present push.
Good Gertrude, set some watch over your son.
This grave shall have a living monument: 285
An hour of quiet shortly shall we see;[2135]
Till then, in patience our proceeding be. [Exeunt.[2136]
Scene II. A hall in the castle.[2137]
Enter Hamlet and Horatio.
Ham. So much for this, sir: now shall you see the other;[2138]
You do remember all the circumstance?[2139]
Hor. Remember it, my lord!
Ham. Sir, in my heart there was a kind of fighting,
That would not let me sleep: methought I lay[2140] 5
Worse than the mutines in the bilboes. Rashly,[2141][2142]
And praised be rashness for it, let us know,[2142][2143][2144][2145]
Our indiscretion sometime serves us well[2144][2145][2146]
When our deep plots do pall; and that should learn us[2144][2147]
There's a divinity that shapes our ends,[2144] 10
Rough-hew them how we will.[2144]
Hor. That is most certain.
Ham. Up from my cabin,
My sea-gown scarf'd about me, in the dark[2148]
Groped I to find out them; had my desire,[2149]
Finger'd their packet, and in fine withdrew 15
To mine own room again; making so bold,[2150][2151]
My fears forgetting manners, to unseal[2151][2152]
Their grand commission; where I found, Horatio,—
O royal knavery!—an exact command,[2153]
Larded with many several sorts of reasons,[2154] 20
Importing Denmark's health and England's too,
With, ho! such bugs and goblins in my life,[2155]
That, on the supervise, no leisure bated,
No, not to stay the grinding of the axe,[2156]
My head should be struck off.[2157]
Hor. Is't possible? 25
Ham. Here's the commission: read it at more leisure.
But wilt thou hear now how I did proceed?[2158]
