Horatio, when thou shalt have overlooked this, give these 2987fellows some means to the King; they have letters 2988for him. Ere we were two days old at sea, a pirate of very 2989warlike appointment gave us chase. Finding ourselves too 2990slow of sail, we put on a compelled valor. In the grapple, I 2991boarded them. On the instant they got clear of our ship, so 2992I alone became their prisoner. They have dealt with me like 2993thieves of mercy, but they knew what they did. I am to do 2994a good turn for them. Let the King have the letters I have 2995sent, and repair thou to me with as much haste as thou wouldest 2996fly death. I have words to speak in your ear will make thee 2997dumb, yet are they much too light for the bore of the matter. 2998These good fellows will bring thee where I am. Rosencrantz 2999and Guildenstern hold their course for England. Of them 3000I have much to tell thee. Farewell. 3001He that thou knowest thine, 3002Hamlet.
