[ACT I.
HAMLET

Give it an understanding, but no tongue:
I will requite your loves. So fare you[a 1] well: ⁠250
Upon the platform, 'twixt eleven and twelve,
I'll visit you.

All. ⁠Our duty[a 2] to your honour.

Ham. Your loves,[a 3] as mine to you: farewell,
⁠[Exeunt Horatio, Marcellus, and Bernardo.
My father's spirit in arms![a 4] all is not well;
I doubt[b 1] some foul[a 5] play: would the night were come! ⁠255
Till then sit still, my soul: foul deeds will rise,
Though all the earth overwhelm them, to[a 6] men's eyes.
⁠[Exit.

SCENE III.—A Room in Polonius's House.

Enter Laertes and Ophelia.

Laer. My necessaries are embark'd; farewell:
And, sister, as the winds give benefit
And convoy is assistant,[a 7][b 2] do not sleep.
But let me hear from you.

Oph. ⁠Do you doubt that?

Laer. For Hamlet, and the trifling of his favour,[a 8] ⁠5
