Enter King, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (R. H.)
King.
I like him not; nor stands it safe with us107 note
To let his madness range. Therefore prepare you;
I your commission will forthwith despatch,
And he to England shall along with you:
Arm you, I pray you, to this speedy voyage;
-- 68 --
For we will fetters put upon this fear,108 note
Which now goes too free-booted.
Ros. Guil.
We will haste us.

Enter Polonius (R. H.)
Pol.
My lord, he's going to his mother's closet:
Behind the arras I'll convey myself,109 note
To hear the process;110 note I'll warrant, she'll tax him home:
And, as you said, and wisely was it said,
'Tis meet that some more audience than a mother,
Since nature makes them partial, should o'erhear
The speech of vantage.111 note Fare you well, my liege:
[Polonius crosses to L. H.]
I'll call upon you ere you go to bed,
And tell you what I know.
King.
Thanks, dear my lord.
