_King._ I have nothing with this answer, Hamlet; these[1191] 90 words are not mine.[1191] _Ham._ No, nor mine now. [_To Polonius_] My lord, you[1191][1193] played once i' the university, you say?[1191][1194] _Pol._ That did I, my lord, and was accounted a good[1195] actor. 95 _Ham._ What did you enact?[1196] _Pol._ I did enact Julius Cæsar: I was killed i' the Capitol;[1197] Brutus killed me. _Ham._ It was a brute part of him to kill so capital a calf there. Be the players ready? 100 _Ros._ Ay, my lord; they stay upon your patience.[1198] _Queen._ Come hither, my dear Hamlet, sit by me.[1199] _Ham._ No, good mother, here's metal more attractive.[1200] _Pol._ [_To the King_] O, ho! do you mark that?[1201] _Ham._ Lady, shall I lie in your lap?[1202] 105 [_Lying down at Ophelia's feet._ _Oph._ No, my lord. _Ham._ I mean, my head upon your lap?[1203][1204] _Oph._ Ay, my lord.[1203] _Ham._ Do you think I meant country matters?[1205] _Oph._ I think nothing, my lord. 110 _Ham._ That's a fair thought to lie between maids' legs.[1206] _Oph._ What is, my lord? _Ham._ Nothing. _Oph._ You are merry, my lord.[1207] _Ham._ Who, I? 115 _Oph._ Ay, my lord. _Ham._ O God, your only jig-maker. What should a[1208] man do but be merry? for, look you, how cheerfully my mother looks, and my father died within 's two hours.[1209] _Oph._ Nay, 'tis twice two months, my lord.[1210] 120 _Ham._ So long? Nay, then, let the devil wear black, for[1211][1212] I'll have a suit of sables. O heavens! die two months ago,[1212][1213] and not forgotten yet? Then there's hope a great man's memory may outlive his life half a year: but, by'r lady, he[1214][1215] must build churches then; or else shall he suffer not thinking[1215] 125 on, with the hobby-horse, whose epitaph is, 'For, O, for, O, the hobby-horse is forgot.'[1216] _Hautboys play.
