LAERTES

                               Alas, then she is drown’d.



              QUEEN
               Drown’d, drown’d.



              LAERTES
               Too much of water hast thou, poor Ophelia [185]
               And therefore I forbid my tears. But yet

               It is our trick; nature her custom holds,
               Let shame say what it will. [Weeps.] When these are gone,
               The woman will be out. Adieu, my lord,
               I have a speech o’fire that fain would blaze
               But that this folly douts it.

                                                                                                             Exit.



              KING
                               Let’s follow, Gertrude. [190]
               How much I had to do to calm his rage.
               Now fear I this will give it start again.

               Therefore let’s follow.
                                                                                                        Exeunt.
