Rosin.<\/strong> What say you?<\/p>\n

Ham.<\/strong> Nay then I haue an eye of you: if you loue me
\nhold not off.<\/p>\n

Guil.<\/strong> My Lord, we were sent for.<\/p>\n

Ham.<\/strong> I will tell you why; so shall my anticipation
\npreuent your discouery of your secricie to the King and
\nQueene: moult no feather, I haue of late, but wherefore
\nI know not, lost all my mirth, forgone all custome of ex-
\nercise; and indeed, it goes so heauenly with my dispositi-
\non; that this goodly frame the Earth, seemes to me a ster-
\nrill Promontory; this most excellent Canopy the Ayre,
\nlook you, this braue ore-hanging (firmament), this Maiesticall Roofe,
\nfretted with golden fire: why, it appeares no other thing (nothing)
\nto mee, then a foule and pestilent congregation of va-
\npours. What a piece of worke is a man! how Noble in
\nReason (!), how infinite in faculty(!), in forme and mouing
\nhow expresse and admirable(!), in Action, how like an An-
\ngel(!), in apprehension, how like a God(!), the beauty of the
\nworld, the Parragon of Animals; and yet to me, what is
\nthis Quintessence of Dust? Man delights not me; no,
\nnor Woman neither; though by your smiling you seeme
\nto say so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
