HAMLET Good.

KING So is it, if thou knew'st our purposes.

HAMLET I see a cherub51 that sees them. But come, for England! Farewell, dear mother.

KING Thy loving father, Hamlet.

HAMLET My mother. Father and mother is man and wife: man and wife is one flesh, and so, my mother. Come, for

England!

Exit

KING Follow him at foot57, tempt him with speed aboard: Delay it not, I'll have him hence tonight.

Away! For everything is sealed and done

That else leans on60 th'affair: pray you make haste.

[Exit Guildenstern and perhaps Rosencrantz]

And, England, if my love thou hold'st at aught61 --

As my great power thereof may give thee sense62, Since yet thy cicatrice63 looks raw and red After the Danish sword, and thy free awe64

Pays homage to us -- thou mayst not coldly set65

Our sovereign process, which imports at full66, By letters conjuring67 to that effect, The present68 death of Hamlet. Do it, England, For like the hectic69 in my blood he rages, And thou must cure me. Till I know 'tis done,

Howe'er my haps71, my joys were ne'er begun.
