QUEEN . What shall I do ? HAMLET . Not this , by no means , that I bid you do : Let the bloat King tempt you again to bed , Pinch wanton on your cheek , call you his mouse , And let him , for a pair of reechy kisses , Or paddling in your neck with his damn’d fingers , Make you to ravel all this matter out , That I essentially am not in madness , But mad in craft . ’ Twere good you let him know , For who that’s but a queen , fair , sober , wise , Would from a paddock , from a bat , a gib , Such dear concernings hide ? Who would do so ? No , in despite of sense and secrecy , Unpeg the basket on the house’s top , Let the birds fly , and like the famous ape , To try conclusions , in the basket creep And break your own neck down . QUEEN . Be thou assur’d , if words be made of breath , And breath of life , I have no life to breathe What thou hast said to me . HAMLET . I must to England , you know that ? QUEEN . Alack , I had forgot . ’ Tis so concluded on . HAMLET . There’s letters seal’d : and my two schoolfellows , Whom I will trust as I will adders fang’d , — They bear the mandate , they must sweep my way And marshal me to knavery . Let it work ; For ’ tis the sport to have the enginer Hoist with his own petard , and ’ t shall go hard But I will delve one yard below their mines And blow them at the moon . O , ’ tis most sweet , When in one line two crafts directly meet . This man shall set me packing . I’ll lug the guts into the neighbour room . Mother , good night . Indeed , this counsellor Is now most still , most secret , and most grave , Who was in life a foolish prating knave . Come , sir , to draw toward an end with you . Good night , mother . [ Exit Hamlet dragging out Polonius . ] ACT IV SCENE I . A room in the Castle . Enter King , Queen , Rosencrantz and Guildenstern . KING . There’s matter in these sighs . These profound heaves You must translate ; ’ tis fit we understand them . Where is your son ? QUEEN . Bestow this place on us a little while . [ To Rosencrantz and Guildenstern , who go out . ] Ah , my good lord , what have I seen tonight ! KING . What , Gertrude ? How does Hamlet ? QUEEN . Mad as the sea and wind , when both contend Which is the mightier . In his lawless fit Behind the arras hearing something stir , Whips out his rapier , cries ‘ A rat , a rat ! ’ And in this brainish apprehension kills The unseen good old man .
