[Footnote 5: Emphasis on _that_: 'I will exchange the name of _friend_
with you.']

[Footnote 6: 'What are you doing from--out of, _away
from_--Wittenberg?']

[Footnote 7: In recognition: the word belongs to Hamlet's speech.]

[Footnote 8: _Point thus_: 'you.--Good even, sir.'--_to Barnardo, whom
he does not know._]

[Footnote 9: An ungrammatical reply. He does not wish to give the real,
painful answer, and so replies confusedly, as if he had been asked,
'What makes you?' instead of, 'What do you make?']

[Footnote 10: '--I should know how to answer him.']

[Footnote 11: Emphasis on _you_.]

_Hor._ Indeed my Lord, it followed hard vpon.

_Ham._ Thrift, thrift _Horatio_: the Funerall Bakt-meats
Did coldly furnish forth the Marriage Tables;
Would I had met my dearest foe in heauen,[1]
Ere I had euer seerie that day _Horatio_.[2] [Sidenote: Or ever I had]
My father, me thinkes I see my father.

_Hor._ Oh where my Lord? [Sidenote: Where my]

_Ham._ In my minds eye (_Horatio_)[3]

_Hor._ I saw him once; he was a goodly King. [Sidenote: once, a was]

_Ham._ He was a man, take him for all in all: [Sidenote: A was a man]

_Hor._ My Lord, I thinke I saw him yesternight.

_Ham._ For Heauens loue let me heare. [Sidenote: God's love]

_Hor._ Two nights together, had these Gentlemen

Within his Truncheons length; whilst they bestil'd
[Sidenote: they distill'd[11]]
Almost to Ielly with the Act of feare,[12]
Stand dumbe and speake not to him. This to me
In dreadfull[13] secrecie impart they did,
And I with them the third Night kept the Watch,
