Following 4.3.9:
Exeunt all [but the Captain]
Enter Hamlet, Rosencrantz and others
HAMLET Good sir, whose powers81 are these?
CAPTAIN They are of Norway, sir.
HAMLET How purposed, sir, I pray you?
CAPTAIN Against some part of Poland.
HAMLET Who commands them, sir?
CAPTAIN The nephew to old Norway, Fortinbras.
HAMLET Goes it against the main87 of Poland, sir,
Or for some frontier?
CAPTAIN Truly to speak, and with no addition89,
We go to gain a little patch of ground
That hath in it no profit but the name.
To pay five ducats, five, I would not farm92 it:
Nor will it yield to Norway or the Pole
A ranker rate, should it be sold in fee94.
HAMLET Why, then the Polack never will defend it.
CAPTAIN Yes, it is already garrisoned.
HAMLET Two thousand souls and twenty thousand ducats
Will not debate the question of this straw98!
This is th'imposthume99 of much wealth and peace,
That inward breaks, and shows no cause without
Why the man dies. I humbly thank you, sir.
CAPTAIN God buy102 you, sir.
[Exit]
ROSENCRANTZ Will't please you go, my lord?
HAMLET I'll be with you straight104: go a little before.
[Exeunt all but Hamlet]
How all occasions do inform against105 me,
