If it assume my noble father's person, |
| |
I'll speak to it, though Hell itself should gape |
| 245 |
And bid me hold my peace. I pray you all, |
| |
If you have hitherto concealed this sight, |
| |
Let it be tenable in your silence still. |
| |
And whatsoever else shall hap tonight, |
| |
Give it an understanding, but no tongue. |
| 250 |
I will requite your loves. So fare you well. |
| |
Upon the platform, 'twixt eleven and twelve, |
| |
I'll visit you. |
|
| HAMLET |
|
If it looks like my good father, I'll speak to it, even
if Hell itself opens up and tells me to be quiet. I ask you, if
you've kept this a secret, keep doing so. Whatever
happens tonight, don't talk about it. I'll
return the favor. So good-bye for now. I'll see you on
the guards' platform between eleven and twelve
tonight. |

| |
Our duty to your honor. |
|
| HORATIO, MARCELLUS, BARNARDO |
|
We'll do our duty to you, sir. |
|
| | HAMLET |
| |
Your loves, as mine to you. Farewell. |
|
| HAMLET |
|
Give me your love instead, as I give you mine. Good-bye. |

exits. |

| |
My father's spirit in arms. All is not well. |
| 255 |
I doubt some foul play. Would the night were come! |
| |
Till then sit still, my soul. Foul deeds will rise, |
| |
Though all the earth o'erwhelm them, to
men's eyes. |
|
|
My father's ghost—armed!
Something's wrong. I suspect some foul play. I wish the
night were here already! Until then, I have to remain calm. Bad
deeds will be revealed, no matter how people try to hide
them. |
