  • ACT IV.
    Scene I. A room in the Castle.
    [Enter King, Queen, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.]
    King.
    There's matter in these sighs. These profound heaves
    You must translate: 'tis fit we understand them.
    Where is your son?
    Queen.
    Bestow this place on us a little while.
    [To Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, who go out.]
    Ah, my good lord, what have I seen to-night!
    King.
    What, Gertrude? How does Hamlet?
    Queen.
    Mad as the sea and wind, when both contend
    Which is the mightier: in his lawless fit
    Behind the arras hearing something stir,
    Whips out his rapier, cries 'A rat, a rat!'
    And in this brainish apprehension, kills
    The unseen good old man.
    King.
    O heavy deed!
    It had been so with us, had we been there:
    His liberty is full of threats to all;
    To you yourself, to us, to every one.
    Alas, how shall this bloody deed be answer'd?
    It will be laid to us, whose providence
    Should have kept short, restrain'd, and out of haunt
