When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world: now could I drink hot blood
And do such bitter business as the day
Would quake to look on. Soft, now to my mother.
O heart, lose not thy nature373; let not ever
The soul of Nero374 enter this firm bosom:
Let me be cruel, not unnatural.
I will speak daggers to her, but use none.
My tongue and soul in this be hypocrites:
How in my words somever378 she be shent,
To give them seals379 never my soul consent!

[Act 3 Scene 3]
running scene 9
Enter King, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
KING I like him1 not, nor stands it safe with us
To let his madness range. Therefore prepare you:
I your commission will forthwith dispatch3,
And he to England shall along with you.
The terms of our estate5 may not endure
Hazard so dangerous as doth hourly grow
Out of his lunacies.
GUILDENSTERN We will ourselves provide8:
Most holy and religious fear9 it is
To keep those many many bodies safe
That live and feed upon your majesty.
ROSENCRANTZ The single and peculiar12 life
is bound
With all the strength and armour of the mind
To keep itself from noyance14, but much more
