_Hor._ Not I my Lord by heauen.
_Mar._ Nor I my Lord. _Ham._ How say you then? would hart of man Once thinke it? but you'l be secret. _Both_. I by heauen, my lord. _Ham._ There's neuer a villaine dwelling in all _Denmarke_, But hee's an arrant knaue. _Hor._ There need no Ghost come from the graue to tell you this. _Ham._ Right, you are in the right, and therefore I holde it meet without more circumstance at all, Wee shake hands and part; you as your busines And desiers shall leade you: for looke you, Euery man hath busines, and desires, such As it is; and for my owne poore parte, ile go pray. _Hor._ These are but wild and wherling words, my Lord. _Ham._. I am sory they offend you; hartely, yes faith hartily. _Hor._ Ther's no offence my Lord. _Ham._ Yes by Saint _Patrike_ but there is H_oratio_, And much offence too, touching this vision, It is an honest ghost, that let mee tell you, For your desires to know what is betweene vs, [D1v] Or emaister it as you may: And now kind frends, as yon are frends, Schollers and gentlmen, Grant mee one poore request. _Both_. What i'st my Lord? _Ham._ Neuer make known what you haue seene to night. _Both_. My lord, we will not. _Ham._ Nay but sweare. |
