Hamlet. Macbeth / Гамлет. Макбет - стр. 16

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?

Ay, very well, my lord.

'And in part him, but,' you may say, 'not well;

But if't be he I mean, he's very wild;

Addicted so and so;' and there put on him

What forgeries you please; marry, none so rank

As may dishonour him; take heed of that;

But, sir, such wanton, wild, and usual slips

As are companions noted and most known

To youth and liberty.

As gaming, my lord?

Ay, or drinking, fencing, swearing,

Quarrelling, drabbing. You may go so far.

My lord, that would dishonour him.

Faith no, as you may season it in the charge.

You must not put another scandal on him,

That he is open to incontinency;

That's not my meaning: but breathe his faults

                         so quaintly

That they may seem the taints of liberty;

The flash and outbreak of a fiery mind,

A savageness in unreclaimed blood,

Of general assault.

But my good lord —

Wherefore should you do this?

Ay, my lord, I would know that.

Marry, sir, here's my drift,

And I believe it is a fetch of warrant.

You laying these slight sullies on my son,

As 'twere a thing a little soil'd i' th' working,

Mark you,

Your party in converse, him you would sound,

Having ever seen in the prenominate crimes

The youth you breathe of guilty, be assur'd

He closes with you in this consequence;

'Good sir,' or so; or 'friend,' or 'gentleman' —

According to the phrase or the addition

Of man and country.

Very good, my lord.

And then, sir, does he this, – he does-What was I about to say? By the mass, I was about to say something. Where did I leave?

At 'closes in the consequence.' At 'friend or so,' and 'gentleman.'

At 'closes in the consequence' ay, marry!

He closes with you thus: 'I know the gentleman,

I saw him yesterday, or t'other day,

Or then, or then, with such and such; and,

                         as you say,

There was he gaming, there o'ertook in's rouse,

There falling out at tennis': or perchance,

'I saw him enter such a house of sale' —

Videlicet, a brothel, or so forth. See you now;

Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth;

And thus do we of wisdom and of reach,

With windlasses, and with assays of bias,

By indirections find directions out.

So by my former lecture and advice

Shall you my son. You have me, have you not?

My lord, I have.

God b' wi' you, fare you well.
