经典话剧剧本《Hamlet哈姆雷特ACT1》英文完整版(7)

　　In equal scale weighing delight and dole,--

　　Taken to wife: nor have we herein barr'd

　　Your better wisdoms, which have freely gone

　　With this affair along. For all, our thanks.

　　Now follows, that you know, young Fortinbras,

　　Holding a weak supposal of our worth,

　　Or thinking by our late dear brother's death

　　Our state to be disjoint and out of frame,

　　Colleagued with the dream of his advantage,

　　He hath not fail'd to pester us with message,

　　Importing the surrender of those lands

　　Lost by his father, with all bonds of law,

　　To our most valiant brother. So much for him.

　　Now for ourself and for this time of meeting:

　　Thus much the business is: we have here writ

　　To Norway, uncle of young Fortinbras,--

　　Who, impotent and bed-rid, scarcely hears

　　Of this his nephew's purpose,--to suppress

　　His further gait herein; in that the levies,

　　The lists and full proportions, are all made

　　Out of his subject: and we here dispatch

　　You, good Cornelius, and you, Voltimand,

　　For bearers of this greeting to old Norway;

　　Giving to you no further personal power

　　To business with the king, more than the scope

　　Of these delated articles allow.

　　Farewell, and let your haste commend your duty.

　　CORNELIUS VOLTIMAND

　　In that and all things will we show our duty.

　　KING CLAUDIUS

　　We doubt it nothing: heartily farewell.

　　Exeunt VOLTIMAND and CORNELIUS

　　And now, Laertes, what's the news with you?

　　You told us of some suit; what is't, Laertes?

　　You cannot speak of reason to the Dane,

　　And loose your voice: what wouldst thou beg, Laertes,

　　That shall not be my offer, not thy asking?
