OPHELIA 

Where is the beauteous majesty of Denmark? GETRUDE, QUEEN OF DENMARK How now, Ophelia? OPHELIA She sings. “How should I your true-love know. From another one? By his cockle hat and staff, And his sandal shoon.” GETRUDE, QUEEN OF DENMARK Alas, sweet lady, what imports this song? OPHELIA Say you? Nay, pray you mark. Song. “He is dead and gone, lady, He is dead and gone, At his head a grass-green turf, At his heels a stone.” O ho! GETRUDE, QUEEN OF DENMARK Nay, but, Ophelia— OPHELIA Pray you mark. Sings. “White his shroud as the mountain snow”— Enter King. GETRUDE, QUEEN OF DENMARK Alas, look here, my lord. OPHELIA Song. “Larded all with sweet flowers, Which bewept to the ground did not go. With true-love showers.” CLAUDIUS, KING OF DENMARK How do you, pretty lady? OPHELIA Well, God dild you! They say the owl was a baker’s daughter. Lord, we know what we are, but know not what we may be. God be at your table! CLAUDIUS, KING OF DENMARK Conceit upon her father. OPHELIA Pray let’s have no words of this, but when they ask you what it means, say you this: Song. All in the morning betime, And I a maid at your window, Then up he rose and donn’d his clo’es, And dupp’d the chamber-door, Let in the maid, that out a maid. Never departed more.” CLAUDIUS, KING OF DENMARK Pretty Ophelia! OPHELIA Indeed without an oath I’ll make an end on’t. Sings. “By Gis, and by Saint Charity, Alack, and fie for shame! Young men will do’t if they come to’t, By Cock, they are to blame. Quoth she, “Before you tumbled me, You promis’d me to wed.’” He answers. “‘So would I ’a’ done, by yonder sun, And thou hadst not come to my bed.’” CLAUDIUS, KING OF DENMARK How long hath she been thus? OPHELIA I hope all will be well. We must be patient, but I cannot choose but weep to think they would lay him i’ th’ cold ground. My brother shall know of it, and so I thank you for your good counsel. Come, my coach! Good night, ladies, good night. Sweet ladies, good night, good night.
