KING . O heavy deed ! It had been so with us , had we been there . His liberty is full of threats to all ; To you yourself , to us , to everyone . Alas , how shall this bloody deed be answer’d ? It will be laid to us , whose providence Should have kept short , restrain’d , and out of haunt This mad young man . But so much was our love We would not understand what was most fit , But like the owner of a foul disease , To keep it from divulging , let it feed Even on the pith of life . Where is he gone ? QUEEN . To draw apart the body he hath kill’d , O’er whom his very madness , like some ore Among a mineral of metals base , Shows itself pure . He weeps for what is done . KING . O Gertrude , come away ! The sun no sooner shall the mountains touch But we will ship him hence , and this vile deed We must with all our majesty and skill Both countenance and excuse . — Ho , Guildenstern ! Re - enter Rosencrantz and Guildenstern . Friends both , go join you with some further aid : Hamlet in madness hath Polonius slain , And from his mother’s closet hath he dragg’d him . Go seek him out , speak fair , and bring the body Into the chapel . I pray you haste in this . [ Exeunt Rosencrantz and Guildenstern . ] Come , Gertrude , we’ll call up our wisest friends , And let them know both what we mean to do And what’s untimely done , so haply slander , Whose whisper o’er the world’s diameter , As level as the cannon to his blank , Transports his poison’d shot , may miss our name , And hit the woundless air . O , come away ! My soul is full of discord and dismay . [ Exeunt . ] SCENE II . Another room in the Castle . Enter Hamlet . HAMLET . Safely stowed . ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN . [ Within . ] Hamlet ! Lord Hamlet ! HAMLET . What noise ? Who calls on Hamlet ? O , here they come . Enter Rosencrantz and Guildenstern . ROSENCRANTZ . What have you done , my lord , with the dead body ? HAMLET . Compounded it with dust , whereto ’ tis kin . ROSENCRANTZ . Tell us where ’ tis , that we may take it thence , And bear it to the chapel . HAMLET . Do not believe it . ROSENCRANTZ . Believe what ? HAMLET . That I can keep your counsel , and not mine own . Besides , to be demanded of a sponge — what replication should be made by the son of a king ? ROSENCRANTZ . Take you me for a sponge , my lord ? HAMLET . Ay , sir ; that soaks up the King’s countenance , his rewards , his authorities . But such officers do the King best service in the end : he keeps them , like an ape , in the corner of his jaw ; first mouthed , to be last swallowed : when he needs what you have gleaned , it is but squeezing you , and , sponge , you shall be dry again . ROSENCRANTZ . I understand you not , my lord . HAMLET . I am glad of it . A knavish speech sleeps in a foolish ear . ROSENCRANTZ . My lord , you must tell us where the body is and go with us to the King .
