_Ham._ Come, come, and sit you down; you shall not budge;[1452] You go not till I set you up a glass[1453][1454] Where you may see the inmost part of you.[1454][1455] 20 _Queen._ What wilt thou do? thou wilt not murder me? Help, help, ho![1456][1457] _Pol._ [_Behind_] What, ho! help, help, help![1457][1458] _Ham._ [_Drawing_] How now! a rat? Dead, for a ducat, dead![1457] [_Makes a pass through the arras._[1459] _Pol._ [_Behind_] O, I am slain! [_Falls and dies._ _Queen._ O me, what hast thou done?[1460] 25 _Ham._ Nay, I know not: is it the king?[1461] _Queen._ O, what a rash and bloody deed is this![1462] _Ham._ A bloody deed! almost as bad, good mother, As kill a king, and marry with his brother. _Queen._ As kill a king! _Ham._ Ay, lady, 'twas my word.[1463] 30 [_Lifts up the arras and discovers Polonius._ Thou wretched, rash, intruding fool, farewell![1464] I took thee for thy better: take thy fortune;[1465] Thou find'st to be too busy is some danger. Leave wringing of your hands: peace! sit you down, And let me wring your heart: for so I shall, 35 If it be made of penetrable stuff; If damned custom have not brass'd it so,[1466] That it be proof and bulwark against sense.[1467] _Queen._ What have I done, that thou darest wag thy tongue In noise so rude against me? _Ham._ Such an act 40 That blurs the grace and blush of modesty, Calls virtue hypocrite, takes off the rose[1468] From the fair forehead of an innocent love, And sets a blister there; makes marriage vows[1469] As false as dicers' oaths: O, such a deed 45 As from the body of contraction plucks The very soul, and sweet religion makes A rhapsody of words: heaven's face doth glow;[1470][1471] Yea, this solidity and compound mass,[1471][1472] With tristful visage, as against the doom,[1473] Is thought-sick at the act. 50 _Queen._ Ay me, what act,[1474][1475] That roars so loud and thunders in the index?[1475]
