_Queen._ O my son, what theme? _Ham._ I loved Ophelia: forty thousand brothers Could not, with all their quantity of love,[2117] Make up my sum. What wilt thou do for her? _King._ O, he is mad, Laertes. 260 _Queen._ For love of God, forbear him. _Ham._ 'Swounds, show me what thou'lt do:[2118] Woo't weep? woo't fight? woo't fast? woo't tear thyself?[2119][2120] Woo't drink up eisel? eat a crocodile?[2119][2121] I'll do't. Dost thou come here to whine?[2122] 265 To outface me with leaping in her grave?[2123] Be buried quick with her, and so will I: And, if thou prate of mountains, let them throw Millions of acres on us, till our ground, Singeing his pate against the burning zone,[2124] 270 Make Ossa like a wart! Nay, an thou'lt mouth,[2125] I'll rant as well as thou. _Queen._ This is mere madness:[2126][2127] And thus awhile the fit will work on him;[2128] Anon, as patient as the female dove[2127][2129] When that her golden couplets are disclosed,[2130] 275 His silence will sit drooping. _Ham._ Hear you, sir; What is the reason that you use me thus? I loved you ever: but it is no matter;[2131] Let Hercules himself do what he may, The cat will mew, and dog will have his day. [_Exit._[2132] 280 King. I pray thee, good Horatio, wait upon him. [_Exit Horatio._[2133] [_To Laertes_] Strengthen your patience in our last night's speech;[2134] We'll put the matter to the present push. Good Gertrude, set some watch over your son. This grave shall have a living monument: 285 An hour of quiet shortly shall we see;[2135] Till then, in patience our proceeding be. [_Exeunt._[2136] SCENE II. _A hall in the castle._[2137] _Enter_ HAMLET _and_ HORATIO. _Ham._ So much for this, sir: now shall you see the other;[2138] You do remember all the circumstance?[2139] _Hor._ Remember it, my lord! _Ham._ Sir, in my heart there was a kind of fighting, That would not let me sleep: methought I lay[2140] 5 Worse than the mutines in the bilboes. Rashly,[2141][2142] And praised be rashness for it, let us know,[2142][2143][2144][2145] Our indiscretion sometime serves us well[2144][2145][2146] When our deep plots do pall; and that should learn us[2144][2147] There's a divinity that shapes our ends,[2144] 10 Rough-hew them how we will.[2144] _Hor._ That is most certain.
