Good my lord, [90]
               How does your honour for this many a day?



              HAMLET
               I humbly thank you, well.



              OPHELIA
               My lord, I have remembrances of yours
               That I have longed long to redeliver.

               I pray you now receive them.

          Ha, ha! Are you honest?




              OPHELIA
          My lord?



              HAMLET
          Are you fair? [105]



              OPHELIA
          What means your lordship?



              HAMLET
          That  if  you  be  honest  and  fair,  your  honesty  should  admit  no  discourse  to
