Act IV

King
What dost you mean by this?
Hamlet
Nothing but to show you how a king may go a progress through the guts of a beggar.
King
Where is Polonius?
Hamlet
In heaven; send hither to see: if your messenger find him not there, seek him i’ the other place yourself. But indeed, if you find him not within this month, you shall nose him as you go up the stairs into the lobby.
King
Go seek him there.
To some Attendants.
Hamlet
He will stay till ye come.
Exeunt Attendants.
King
Hamlet, this deed, for thine especial safety⁠—
Which we do tender, as we dearly grieve
For that which thou hast done⁠—must send thee hence
With fiery quickness: therefore prepare thyself;
The bark is ready, and the wind at help,
The associates tend, and every thing is bent
For England.
Hamlet
For England!
