Horatio, when thou shalt have overlooked this, give these 29872916fellows some means to the King; they have letters 2988for him. Ere we 2917were two days old at sea, a pirate of very 2989warlike appointment gave 2918us chase. Finding ourselves too 2990slow of sail, we put on a compelled 2919valor, and in the grapple I 2991boarded them. On the instant they got 2920clear of our ship, so 2992I alone became their prisoner. They have dealt 2921with me like 2993thieves of mercy, but they knew what they did: I am to 2922do 2994a good turn for them. Let the King have the letters I have 2995sent, and 2923repair thou to me with as much haste as thou wouldest 2996fly death. 2924I have words to speak in thine ear will make thee 2997dumb, yet are 2925they much too light for the bore of the matter. 2998These good fellows 2926will bring thee where I am. Rosencrantz 2999and Guildenstern hold their 2927course for England. Of them 3000I have much to tell thee. Farewell. 30012928He that thou knowest thine, Hamlet.
