ОглавлениеScene I. A room in Polonius’ house.
Enter Polonius and Reynaldo | |
Lord Polonius | Give him this money and these notes, Reynaldo.Reynaldo I will, my lord. |
Lord Polonius | You shall do marvellous wisely, good Reynaldo,Before you visit him, to make inquireOf his behavior. |
Reynaldo | My lord, I did intend it. |
Lord Polonius | Marry, well said; very well said. Look you, sir,Inquire me first what Danskers are in Paris;And how, and who, what means, and where they keep,What company, at what expense; and findingBy this encompassment and drift of questionThat they do know my son, come you more nearerThan your particular demands will touch it:Take you, as ’twere, some distant knowledge of him;As thus, ‘I know his father and his friends,And in part him: ’ do you mark this, Reynaldo? |
Reynaldo | Ay, very well, my lord. |
Lord Polonius | ‘And in part him; but’ you may say ‘not well:But, if’t be he I mean, he’s very wild;Addicted so and so:’ and there put on himWhat forgeries you please; marry, none so rankAs may dishonour him; take heed of that;But, sir, such wanton, wild and usual slipsAs are companions noted and most knownTo youth and liberty. |
Reynaldo | As gaming, my lord. |
Lord Polonius | Ay, or drinking, fencing, swearing, quarrelling,Drabbing: you may go so far. |
Reynaldo | My lord, that would dishonour him. |
