When the blood burns, how prodigal the soul Lends the tongue vows: these blazes, daughter, Giving more light than heat,-extinct in both, Even in their promise, as it is a-making,— You must not take for fire. [From this time Be something scanter of your maiden presence; Set your entreatments2 at a higher rate Than a command to parley. For Lord Hamlet. Believe so much in him, that he is young, And with a larger tether may he walk Than may be given you: in few, Ophelia, Do not believe his vows; for they are brokers,3 Not of that dye which their investments1 show, But mere implorators of unholy suits, Breathing like sanctified and pious bonds, The better to beguile.] This is for all:
Carrying, I say, the stamp of one defect, Being nature's livery, or fortune's star,— Their virtues else-be they as pure as grace, As infinite as man may undergo- Shall in the general censure take corruption From that particular fault: the dram of eale Doth all the noble substance of a doubt To his own scandal.] Hor.
Look, my lord, it comes! Enter GHOST.
