That treason can but peep to what it would,
               Acts little of his will. − Tell me, Laertes, [125]
               Why thou art incens’d. − Let him go, Gertrude.
               Speak, man.



              LAERTES
               Where is my father?




              KING
                               Dead.



              QUEEN
                               But not by him.

                               Who shall stay you?



              LAERTES
