eyes purging thick amber or plum-tree gum207 and that they

HAMLET Into my grave?
Aside
POLONIUS Indeed, that is out o'th'air.--
How pregnant sometimes his replies are! A happiness217 that
often madness hits on, which reason and sanity could not so
prosperously be delivered of. I will leave him and suddenly219
contrive the means of meeting between him and my
daughter.-- My honourable lord, I will most humbly take my
leave of you.
HAMLET You cannot, sir, take from me anything that I will

POLONIUS Fare you well, my lord.

POLONIUS You go to seek my lord Hamlet; there he is.
ROSENCRANTZ God save you, sir!
To Polonius
GUILDENSTERN Mine honoured lord!
[Exit Polonius]
ROSENCRANTZ My most dear lord!
