  2. 4:1 • QUEEN GERTRUDE • Mad as the sea and wind, when both contendWhich is the mightier: in his lawless fit,Behind the arras hearing something stir,Whips out his rapier, cries, 'A rat, a rat!'And, in this brainish apprehension, killsThe unseen good old man. • QUEEN GERTRUDETo draw apart the body he hath kill'd:O'er whom his very madness, like some oreAmong a mineral of metals base,Shows itself pure; he weeps for what is done. • KING CLAUDIUS • O Gertrude, come away!The sun no sooner shall the mountains touch,But we will ship him hence: and this vile deedWe must, with all our majesty and skill,Both countenance and excuse. Ho, Guildenstern!

  3. 4:2 • HAMLET • That I can keep your counsel and not mine own.Besides, to be demanded of a sponge! whatreplication should be made by the son of a king?ROSENCRANTZ • Take you me for a sponge, my lord?HAMLET • Ay, sir, that soaks up the king's countenance, hisrewards, his authorities. But such officers do theking best service in the end: he keeps them, likean ape, in the corner of his jaw; first mouthed, tobe last swallowed: when he needs what you havegleaned, it is but squeezing you, and, sponge, youshall be dry again.

  4. 4:3 • HAMLET • Not where he eats, but where he is eaten: a certainconvocation of politic worms are e'en at him. Yourworm is your only emperor for diet: we fat allcreatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves formaggots: your fat king and your lean beggar is butvariable service, two dishes, but to one table:that's the end.KING CLAUDIUS • Alas, alas!HAMLET • A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of aking, and cat of the fish that hath fed of that worm.KING CLAUDIUS • What dost you mean by this?HAMLET • Nothing but to show you how a king may go aprogress through the guts of a beggar.
