Hamlet - Page 20

MARCELLUS AND BARNARDO Longer, longer.

HORATIO Not when I saw't.

HAMLET His beard was grizzly251, no?

HORATIO It was, as I have seen it in his life,

A sable silvered253.

HAMLET I'll watch tonight; perchance 'twill walk again.

HORATIO I warrant255 you it will.

HAMLET If it assume my noble father's person,

I'll speak to it though hell itself should gape

And bid me hold my peace. I pray you all,

If you have hitherto concealed this sight,

Let it be tenable in your silence still260,

And whatsoever else shall hap tonight,

Give it an understanding but no tongue.

I will requite263 your loves. So, fare ye well:

Upon the platform 'twixt eleven and twelve

I'll visit you.

ALL Our duty to your honour.

Exeunt [all but Hamlet]

HAMLET Your love, as mine to you: farewell.--

My father's spirit in arms? All is not well:

I doubt269 some foul play. Would the night were come.

Till then, sit still my soul: foul deeds will rise,

Though all the earth o'erwhelm them, to men's eyes.

Exit

LAERTES My necessaries are embarked, farewell:

And, sister, as2 the winds give benefit
