HAMLET

               One.



              LAERTES
               No. [280]



              HAMLET
               Judgment.



              OSRIC
               A hit, a very palpable hit.



              LAERTES
               Well, again.



              KING
               Stay, give me drink. Hamlet this pearl is thine.Here’s to thy health.

                                                                  Drums; trumpets; and shot goes off.
                               Give him the cup. [285]



              HAMLET
               I’ll play this bout first. Set it by awhile.
               Come.
                                                                                            They play again.

               Another hit. What say you?



              LAERTES
               I do confess’t.



              KING
               Our son shall win.



              QUEEN
                               He’s fat and scant of breath. [290]
               Here, Hamlet, take my napkin, rub thy brows.

               The Queen carouses to thy fortune, Hamlet.
