The Tragedie of Hamlet
¶Let him goe Gertrard, doe not feare our person,
¶There's such diuinitie doth hedge a King,
¶That treason can but peepe to what it would,
2870Act's little of his will, tell me Laertes
¶Why thou art thus incenst, let him goe Gertrard.
¶Speake man.
¶Laer. Where is my father?
¶King. Dead.
2875Quee. But not by him.
¶King. Let him demaund his fill.
¶Laer. How came he dead, I'le not be iugled with,
¶To hell allegiance, vowes to the blackest deuill,
2880I dare damnation, to this poynt I stand,
¶That both the worlds I giue to negligence,
¶Let come what comes, onely I'le be reueng'd
¶Most throughly for my father.
2885Laer. My will, not all the worlds:
¶They shall goe farre with little.

2895Laer. To his good friends thus wide I'le ope my armes,
¶And like the kind life-rendring Pelican,
¶Repast them with my blood.
¶Like a good child, and a true Gentleman.
¶It shall as leuell to your iudgement peare
¶As day dooes to your eye.
