◈ The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark (햄릿) ◈

6. Act IV, Scene 6

0         Elsinore. Another room in the Castle.

1         Enter Horatio with an Attendant.

2         Horatio.
3               What are they that would speak with me?
4         Servant.
5               Seafaring men, sir. They say they have letters for you.
6         Horatio.
7               Let them come in.
8               [Exit Attendant.]
9               I do not know from what part of the world
10               I should be greeted, if not from Lord Hamlet.

11         Enter Sailors.

12         Sailor.
13               God bless you, sir.
14         Horatio.
15               Let him bless thee too.
16         Sailor.
17               'A shall, sir, an't please him. There's a letter for you,
18               sir,- it comes from th' ambassador that was bound for England- if
19               your name be Horatio, as I am let to know it is.
20         Horatio.
21               [reads the letter]'Horatio, when thou shalt have overlook'd
22               this, give these fellows some means to the King. They have
23               letters for him. Ere we were two days old at sea, a pirate of
24               very warlike appointment gave us chase. Finding ourselves too
25               slow of sail, we put on a compelled valour, and in the grapple I
26               boarded them. On the instant they got clear of our ship; so I
27               alone became their prisoner. They have dealt with me like thieves
28               of mercy; but they knew what they did: I am to do a good turn for
29               them. Let the King have the letters I have sent, and repair thou
30               to me with as much speed as thou wouldst fly death. I have words
31               to speak in thine ear will make thee dumb; yet are they much too
32               light for the bore of the matter. These good fellows will bring
33               thee where I am. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern hold their course
34               for England. Of them I have much to tell thee. Farewell.
35               'He that thou knowest thine, HAMLET.'
36               Come, I will give you way for these your letters,
37               And do't the speedier that you may direct me
38               To him from whom you brought them.[Exeunt.]
