Oph. At home, my lord.
Ham. Let the doors be shut upon him, that he may play the fool nowhere but in's own house. Farewell.
Oph. O, help him, you sweet heavens!
Ham. If thou dost marry, I'll give thee this plague for thy dowry.
Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape calumny. Get thee to a nunnery; farewell. Or, if thou wilt needs marry, marry a fool; for wise men know well enough what monsters you make of them. To a nunnery, go; go; go.
Oph. Heavenly powers, restore him!
Ham. I have heard of your paintings too, well enough; Heaven hath given you one face, and you make yourselves another: you jig, you amble, and you lisp, and nickname Heaven's creatures, and make your wantonness your ignorance. Go to, I'll no more of't; it hath made me mad.
[HAMLET crosses to R.H.]
I say, we will have no more marriages: those that are married already, all but one, shall live; the rest shall keep as they are. To a nunnery, go.
[Exit HAMLET, R.H.]
Oph. (L.) O, what a noble mind is here o'erthrown!
The expectancy and rose of the fair state,
The glass of fashion and the mould of form,
The observ'd of all observers, quite, quite down!
And I, of ladies most deject and wretched,
That suck'd the honey of his musick vows,
Now see that noble and most sovereign reason,
Like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh:
O, woe is me,
To have seen what I have seen, see what I see!
[Exit OPHELIA, L.H.]
Re-enter KING and POLONIUS.
King. Love! his affections do not that way tend;
