ROSENCRANTZ.
Niggard of question; but, of our demands,
Most free in his reply.
QUEEN.
Did you assay him
To any pastime?
ROSENCRANTZ.
Madam, it so fell out that certain players
We o'er-raught on the way: of these we told him,
And there did seem in him a kind of joy
To hear of it: they are about the court,
And, as I think, they have already order
This night to play before him.
POLONIUS.
'Tis most true;
And he beseech'd me to entreat your majesties
To hear and see the matter.
KING.
With all my heart; and it doth much content me
To hear him so inclin'd. —
Good gentlemen, give him a further edge,
And drive his purpose on to these delights.
ROSENCRANTZ.
We shall, my lord.
[Exeunt Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.]
