Der bestrafte Brudermord (Fratricide Punished)

Enter Corambus to the King and Queen.
Corambus
News, news, my gracious lord and king!
What news, Corambus?
180Corambus
Prince Hamlet is mad, ay, as mad as ever the Greek madman was.
And why is he mad?
Corambus
Because he has lost his wits.
Where has he lost his wits?
Corambus
That I know not. Perhaps he may know, who has found them.
