ACT II       IT






                                                     Scene I        IT



                                    Enter old Polonius, with his man Reynaldo.



              POLONIUS
               Give him this money and these notes, Reynaldo.



              REYNALDO
               I will, my lord.



              POLONIUS
               You shall do marvellous wisely, good Reynaldo,
               Before you visit him, to make inquire

               Of his behaviour.


              REYNALDO

               My lord, I did intend it. [5]



              POLONIUS
               Marry, well said, very well said. Look you, sir,
               Inquire me first what Danskers are in Paris,
               And how, and who, what means, and where they keep,
               What company, at what expense; and finding

               By this encompassment and drift of question [10]
               That they do know my son, come you more nearer
               Than your particular demands will touch it.

               Take you as ’twere some distant knowledge of him,
               As thus, ‘I know his father, and his friends,
               And in part him’ − do you mark this, Reynaldo? [15]



              REYNALDO
