Lords, can you by no means find

8.216491166The cause of our son Hamlet's lunacy?

8.310311167You being so near in love, even from his youth,

8.41031.11168Methinks should gain more than a stranger should.

My lord, we have done all the best we could

8.61031.31170To wring from him the cause of all his grief,

8.716531171But still he puts us off, and by no means

8.816541172Would make an answer to that we exposed.

Yet was he something more inclined to mirth

8.1016681174Before we left him, and, I take it,

8.111175He hath given order for a play tonight,

8.1216711176At which he craves your highness' company.

With all our heart; it likes us very well.

8.1416741178Gentlemen, seek still to increase his mirth.

8.151674.11179Spare for no cost, our coffers shall be open,

8.161674.21180And we unto yourselves will still be thankful.

In all we can, be sure you shall command.

Thanks, gentlemen, and what the Queen of Denmark

8.1910451183May pleasure you, be sure you shall not want.

We'll once again unto the noble prince.

Thanks to you both.

Thanks to you both. Gertred, you'll see this play?

My lord, I will, and it joys me at the soul

8.231187He is inclined to any kind of mirth.

Madam, I pray be ruled by me,

8.251189And, my good sovereign, give me leave to speak.

8.261674.31190We cannot yet find out the very ground

8.271674.41191Of his distemperance. Therefore

8.281674.51192I hold it meet, if so it please you,

8.291674.61193Else they shall not meet, and thus it is--

What is't, Corambis?

Marry, my good lord, this: soon, when the sports are done,

8.3218391196Madam, send you in haste to speak with him,

8.3318411197And I myself will stand behind the arras.

8.341198There question you the cause of all his grief,

8.351839.11199And then, in love and nature unto you, he'll tell you all.

8.361839.21200My lord, how think you on't?

It likes us well. Gertred, what say you?

With all my heart. Soon will I send for him.

Myself will be that happy messenger,

8.401845.31204Who hopes his grief will be revealed to her.
