462338Leart. My necessaries are inbarkt, I must aboord,

462.1339But ere I part, marke what I say to thee:

467340I see Prince Hamlet makes a shew of loue

592341Beware Ofelia, do not trust his vowes,

477342Perhaps he loues you now, and now his tongue,

496343Speakes from his heart, but yet take heed my sister,

499344The Chariest maide is prodigall enough,

500345If she vnmaske hir beautie to the Moone.

501346Vertue it selfe scapes not calumnious thoughts,

347Belieu't Ofelia, therefore keepe a loofe

496.1348Lest that he trip thy honor and thy fame.

496.2349Ofel. Brother, to this I haue lent attentiue eare,

496.3350And doubt not but to keepe my honour firme,

509351But my deere brother, do not you

510352Like to a cunning Sophister,

511353Teach me the path and ready way to heauen,

511.1354While you forgetting what is said to me,

512355Your selfe, like to a carelesse libertine

512.1356Doth giue his heart, his appetite at ful,

514357And little recks how that his honour dies.

515358Lear. No, feare it not my deere Ofelia,

517359Here comes my father, occasion smiles vpon a second leaue.

520361Cor. Yet here Leartes? aboord, aboord, for shame,

521362The winde sits in the shoulder of your saile,

522363And you are staid for, there my blessing with thee

523364And these few precepts in thy memory.

526365"Be thou familiar, but by no meanes vulgare;

527366"Those friends thou hast, and their adoptions tried,

528367"Graple them to thee with a hoope of steele,

529368"But do not dull the palme with entertaine,

530369"Of euery new vnfleg'd courage,

370"Beware of entrance into a quarrell; but being in,

532371"Beare it that the opposed may beware of thee,

535372"Costly thy apparrell, as thy purse can buy.

536373"But not exprest in fashion,

537374"For the apparrell oft proclaimes the man.

538375And they of France of the chiefe rancke and station

539376Are of a most select and generall chiefe in that:

543377"This aboue all, to thy owne selfe be true,

544378And it must follow as the night the day,

C2 Thou

545379Thou canst not then be false to any one,

546380Farewel, my blessing with thee.

547381Lear. I humbly take my leaue, farewell Ofelia,

549382And remember well what I haue said to you. exit.

551383Ofel. It is already lock't within my hart,

552384And you your selfe shall keepe the key of it.

554385Cor. What i'st Ofelia he hath saide to you?

555386Ofel. Somthing touching the prince Hamlet.

556387Cor. Mary wel thought on, t'is giuen me to vnderstand,

558388That you haue bin too prodigall of your maiden presence

560389Vnto Prince Hamlet, if it be so,

390As so tis giuen to mee, and that in waie of caution

561391I must tell you; you do not vnderstand your selfe

562392So well as befits my honor, and your credite.

565393Ofel. My lord, he hath made many tenders of his loue

566394to me.

569395Cor. Tenders, I, I, tenders you may call them.

580396Ofel. And withall, such earnest vowes.

581397Cor. Springes to catch woodcocks,

398What, do not I know when the blood doth burne,

582399How prodigall the tongue lends the heart vowes,

587400In briefe, be more scanter of your maiden presence,

575401Or tendring thus you'l tender mee a foole.

602402Ofel. I shall obay my lord in all I may.

602.1403Cor. Ofelia, receiue none of his letters,

602.2404"For louers lines are snares to intrap the heart;

602.3405"Refuse his tokens, both of them are keyes

602.4406To vnlocke Chastitie vnto Desire;

601407Come in Ofelia, such men often proue,

601.1408"Great in their wordes, but little in their loue.

409Ofel. I will my lord. exeunt.
