ACT II.
SCENE I. _A room in Polonius's house._
_Enter_ POLONIUS _and_ REYNALDO.[560]
_Pol._ Give him this money and these notes, Reynaldo.[561][562]
_Rey._ I will, my lord.
_Pol._ You shall do marvellous wisely, good Reynaldo,[562][563]
Before you visit him, to make inquire[564]
Of his behaviour.
_Rey._ My lord, I did intend it. 5
_Pol._ Marry, well said, very well said. Look you, sir,[565]
Inquire me first what Danskers are in Paris,[566]
And how, and who, what means, and where they keep,
What company, at what expense, and finding[567]
By this encompassment and drift of question 10
That they do know my son, come you more nearer[568]
Than your particular demands will touch it:[568]
Take you, as 'twere, some distant knowledge of him,
As thus, 'I know his father and his friends,[569]
And in part him:' do you mark this, Reynaldo?[562] 15
_Rey._ Ay, very well, my lord.
_Pol._ 'And in part him; but,' you may say, 'not well:
But if't be he I mean, he's very wild,[570]
Addicted so and so;' and there put on him
What forgeries you please; marry, none so rank 20
As may dishonour him; take heed of that;
But, sir, such wanton, wild and usual slips
As are companions noted and most known
To youth and liberty.
_Rey._ As gaming, my lord.
_Pol._ Ay, or drinking, fencing, swearing, quarrelling,[571][572] 25
Drabbing: you may go so far.[571]
_Rey._ My lord, that would dishonour him.
