_Ham._ Yes, by Saint Patrick, but there is, Horatio,[515] And much offence too. Touching this vision here,[516] It is an honest ghost, that let me tell you: For your desire to know what is between us, O'ermaster't as you may. And now, good friends,[517] 140 As you are friends, scholars and soldiers, Give me one poor request. _Hor._ What is't, my lord? we will.[518] _Ham._ Never make known what you have seen to-night. _Hor._} _Mar._} My lord, we will not. _Ham._ Nay, but swear't. _Hor._ In faith,[519][520] 145 My lord, not I.[520] _Mar._ Nor I, my lord, in faith. _Ham._ Upon my sword. _Mar._ We have sworn, my lord, already.[521] _Ham._ Indeed, upon my sword, indeed.[522] _Ghost._ [_Beneath_] Swear.[523] _Ham._ Ah, ha, boy! say'st thou so? art thou there, true-penny?[524][525] 150 Come on: you hear this fellow in the cellarage:[524][526] Consent to swear. _Hor._ Propose the oath, my lord.[527] _Ham._ Never to speak of this that you have seen,[528] Swear by my sword. _Ghost._ [_Beneath_] Swear.[529] 155 _Ham._ Hic et ubique? then we'll shift our ground.[530] Come hither, gentlemen,[531] And lay your hands again upon my sword:[531] Never to speak of this that you have heard,[531][532] Swear by my sword.[531] 160 _Ghost._ [_Beneath_] Swear.[529][533] _Ham._ Well said, old mole! canst work i' the earth so fast?[534] A worthy pioner! Once more remove, good friends.[535] _Hor._ O day and night, but this is wondrous strange! _Ham._ And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.[536] 165 There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.[537][538] But come;[538][539] Here, as before, never, so help you mercy,[539][540] How strange or odd soe'er I bear myself,[541][542][543] 170 As I perchance hereafter shall think meet[541][542][544][545] To put an antic disposition on,[541][542][544] That you, at such times seeing me, never shall,[542][546] With arms encumber'd thus, or this head-shake,[542][547] Or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase,[542][548] 175 As 'Well, well, we know,' or 'We could, an if we would,'[542][549][550] Or 'If we list to speak,' or 'There be, an if they might,'[542][550][551] Or such ambiguous giving out, to note[542][552] That you know aught of me: this not to do,[553] So grace and mercy at your most need help you,[553] 180 Swear.[553] _Ghost._ [_Beneath_] Swear.[529]
