_Volt._ In that, and all things, will we shew our duty.
_King._ We doubt it nothing, heartily farewell. [Sidenote: 74] [1]_Exit Voltemand and Cornelius._ And now _Laertes_, what's the newes with you? You told vs of some suite. What is't _Laertes_? You cannot speake of Reason to the Dane, And loose your voyce. What would'st thou beg _Laertes_, That shall not be my Offer, not thy Asking?[2] The Head is not more Natiue to the Heart, The Hand more Instrumentall to the Mouth, Then is the Throne of Denmarke to thy Father.[3] What would'st thou haue _Laertes_? _Laer._ Dread my Lord, [Sidenote: My dread] Your leaue and fauour to returne to France, From whence, though willingly I came to Denmarke To shew my duty in your Coronation, Yet now I must confesse, that duty done, [Sidenote: 22] My thoughts and wishes bend againe towards toward France,[4] And bow them to your gracious leaue and pardon. _King._ Haue you your Fathers leaue? What sayes _Pollonius_? [A] _Pol._ He hath my Lord: I do beseech you giue him leaue to go. |
