Act II

Hamlet
Why, any thing, but to the purpose. You were sent for; and there is a kind of confession in your looks which your modesties have not craft enough to colour: I know the good king and queen have sent for you.
Rosencrantz
To what end, my lord?
Hamlet
That you must teach me. But let me conjure you, by the rights of our fellowship, by the consonancy of our youth, by the obligation of our ever-preserved love, and by what more dear a better proposer could charge you withal, be even and direct with me, whether you were sent for, or no?
Rosencrantz
Aside to Guildenstern .
What say you?
Hamlet
Aside.
Nay, then, I have an eye of you.⁠—If you love me, hold not off.
Guildenstern
My lord, we were sent for.
