Your Lordship is right welcome back to Den mark. Sweet Lord, if your friendship were at leisure, I should impart a thing to you from his Majesty. I thank your Lordship, it's very hight. It is indifferent cold my Lord indeed. Exceedingly, my Lord, it is very sultry, as 'twere I cannot tell how: but my Lord, his Majesty bade me sig nifie to you, that he ha laid a great wager on your head: Sir, this is the matter. Nay, in good faith, for mine ease in good faith: Sir, you are not ignorant of what excellence Laertes is at his weapon. Rapier and dagger. The sir King ha waged with him six Barbary Hor ses, against the which he impon'd as I take it, six French Rapiers and Poniards, with their assigns, as Girdle, Hangers or so: three of the Carriages infaith are very deer to fancy, very responsive to the hilts, most delicate carriages, and of very liberal conceit. The Carriages Sir, are the hangers. The King Sir, hath laid that in a dozen passes be tween you and him, he shall not exceed you three hits; He hath one twelve for mine, and that would come to imediate trial, if your Lordship would vouchsafe the Answer. I mean my Lord, the opposition of your person in trial. Shall I redeliver you ee'n so? I commend my duty to your Lordship. A hit, a very palpable hit. Nothing neither way. Look to the Queen there hoa. How is't Laertes ? Young Fortinbras, with conquest come from ̄ Poland To the Ambassadors of England gives this warlike volley. I my good Lord.
