_Osr._ Nay, good my lord; for mine ease, in good faith.[2214] Sir, here is newly come to court Laertes; believe me, an absolute[2215] gentleman, full of most excellent differences, of very[2215][2216] 105 soft society and great showing: indeed, to speak feelingly of[2215][2217] him, he is the card or calendar of gentry, for you shall find[2215][2218] in him the continent of what part a gentleman would see.[2215][2219] _Ham._ Sir, his definement suffers no perdition in you;[2215] though, I know, to divide him inventorially would dizzy the[2215][2220] 110 arithmetic of memory, and yet but yaw neither, in respect[2215][2221] of his quick sail. But in the verity of extolment, I take[2215] him to be a soul of great article, and his infusion of such[2215][2222] dearth and rareness, as, to make true diction of him, his[2215] semblable is his mirror, and who else would trace him, his[2215] 115 umbrage, nothing more.[2215] _Osr._ Your lordship speaks most infallibly of him.[2215] _Ham._ The concernancy, sir? why do we wrap the[2215][2223] gentleman in our more rawer breath?[2215] _Osr._ Sir?[2215][2224] 120 _Hor._ Is't not possible to understand in another tongue?[2215][2225] You will do't, sir, really.[2215][2226] _Ham._ What imports the nomination of this gentleman?[2215] _Osr._ Of Laertes?[2215][2227] _Hor._ His purse is empty already; all's golden words[2215] 125 are spent.[2215] _Ham._ Of him, sir.[2215][2228] _Osr._ I know you are not ignorant--[2215][2229] _Ham._ I would you did, sir; yet, in faith, if you did, it[2215] would not much approve me. Well, sir?[2215][2230] 130 _Osr._ You are not ignorant of what excellence Laertes is--[2215][2231] _Ham._ I dare not confess that, lest I should compare[2215] with him in excellence; but, to know a man well, were to[2215][2232] know himself.[2215] _Osr._ I mean, sir, for his weapon; but in the imputation[2215][2233] 135 laid on him by them, in his meed he's unfellowed.[2215][2234] _Ham._ What's his weapon? _Osr._ Rapier and dagger. _Ham._ That's two of his weapons: but, well. _Osr._ The king, sir, hath wagered with him six Barbary[2235] 140 horses: against the which he has imponed, as I take it, six[2236] French rapiers and poniards, with their assigns, as girdle, hanger, and so: three of the carriages, in faith, are very[2237] dear to fancy, very responsive to the hilts, most delicate carriages, and of very liberal conceit. 145 _Ham._ What call you the carriages? _Hor._ I knew you must be edified by the margent ere[2238] you had done.[2238] _Osr._ The carriages, sir, are the hangers.[2239]
