¶Which let thy wisedome feare, holde off thy hand:
¶I lou'de Ofelia as deere as twenty brothers could:
¶Shew me what thou wilt doe for her:
¶Wilt fight, wilt fast, wilt pray,
¶Com'st thou here to whine?
¶And where thou talk'st of burying thee a liue,
¶Here let vs stand: and let them them throw on vs,
¶Whole hills of earth, till with the heighth therof,
3480Make Oosell as a Wart.
¶Anone as milde and gentle as a Doue:
3484.1Therfore a while giue his wilde humour scope.
¶A Cat will meaw, a Dog will haue a day.
Exit Hamlet and Horatio.
¶Queene. Alas, it is his madnes makes him thus,
3482.1And not his heart, Leartes.
¶Therfore Leartes be in readynes.
¶Made friends and Louers, as befittes them both,
¶Euen as they tender vs, and loue their countrie.

Enter Hamlet and Horatio
¶Ham. beleeue mee, it greeues mee much Horatio,
3580That to Leartes I forgot my selfe:
¶For by my selfe me thinkes I feele his griefe,
3581.1Though there's a difference in each others wrong.

Enter a Bragart Gentleman.
¶Horatio, but you marke yon water-flie,
3588.1The Court knowes him, but hee knowes not the Court.
