Act II

Rosencrantz
Both your majesties
Might, by the sovereign power you have of us,
Put your dread pleasures more into command
Than to entreaty.
Guildenstern
But we both obey,
And here give up ourselves, in the full bent
To lay our service freely at your feet,
To be commanded.
King
Thanks, Rosencrantz and gentle Guildenstern.
Queen
Thanks, Guildenstern and gentle Rosencrantz:
And I beseech you instantly to visit
My too much changed son. Go, some of you,
And bring these gentlemen where Hamlet is.
Guildenstern
Heavens make our presence and our practices
Pleasant and helpful to him!
Queen
Ay, amen!
Exeunt Rosencrantz , Guildenstern , and some Attendants.
Polonius
The ambassadors from Norway, my good lord,
Are joyfully return’d.
King
Thou still hast been the father of good news.
