Hamlet
Act I, Scene 3·Page 33 / 268
OPHELIA. I shall th’effect of this good lesson keep As watchman to my heart. But good my brother, Do not as some ungracious pastors do, Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven; Whilst like a puff’d and reckless libertine Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads, And recks not his own rede.
LAERTES. O, fear me not. I stay too long. But here my father comes.
Enter Polonius.
A double blessing is a double grace; Occasion smiles upon a second leave.
POLONIUS. Yet here, Laertes? Aboard, aboard, for shame. The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail, And you are stay’d for. There, my blessing with you.
[_Laying his hand on Laertes’s head._]
