KING . Follow him at foot . Tempt him with speed aboard ; Delay it not ; I’ll have him hence tonight . Away , for everything is seal’d and done That else leans on th’affair . Pray you make haste . [ Exeunt Rosencrantz and Guildenstern . ] And England , if my love thou hold’st at aught , — As my great power thereof may give thee sense , Since yet thy cicatrice looks raw and red After the Danish sword , and thy free awe Pays homage to us , — thou mayst not coldly set Our sovereign process , which imports at full , By letters conjuring to that effect , The present death of Hamlet . Do it , England ; For like the hectic in my blood he rages , And thou must cure me . Till I know ’ tis done , Howe’er my haps , my joys were ne’er begun . [ Exit . ] SCENE IV . A plain in Denmark . Enter Fortinbras and Forces marching . FORTINBRAS . Go , Captain , from me greet the Danish king . Tell him that by his license , Fortinbras Craves the conveyance of a promis’d march Over his kingdom . You know the rendezvous . If that his Majesty would aught with us , We shall express our duty in his eye ; And let him know so . CAPTAIN . I will do’t , my lord . FORTINBRAS . Go softly on . [ Exeunt all but the Captain . ] Enter Hamlet , Rosencrantz , Guildenstern & c . HAMLET . Good sir , whose powers are these ? CAPTAIN . They are of Norway , sir . HAMLET . How purpos’d , 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 main of Poland , sir , Or for some frontier ? CAPTAIN . Truly to speak , and with no addition , 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 farm it ; Nor will it yield to Norway or the Pole A ranker rate , should it be sold in fee . HAMLET . Why , then the Polack never will defend it . CAPTAIN . Yes , it is already garrison’d . HAMLET . Two thousand souls and twenty thousand ducats Will not debate the question of this straw ! This is th’imposthume of much wealth and peace , That inward breaks , and shows no cause without Why the man dies . I humbly thank you , sir . CAPTAIN . God b ’ wi ’ you , sir . [ Exit . ] ROSENCRANTZ . Will’t please you go , my lord ? HAMLET . I’ll be with you straight . Go a little before . [ Exeunt all but Hamlet . ] How all occasions do inform against me , And spur my dull revenge . What is a man If his chief good and market of his time Be but to sleep and feed ? A beast , no more . Sure he that made us with such large discourse , Looking before and after , gave us not That capability and godlike reason To fust in us unus’d . Now whether it be Bestial oblivion , or some craven scruple Of thinking too precisely on th’event , — A thought which , quarter’d , hath but one part wisdom And ever three parts coward , — I do not know Why yet I live to say this thing’s to do , Sith I have cause , and will , and strength , and means To do’t .
