Enter King CLAUDIUS and two or three attendants	CSUALUID setenr wiht wot or erteh of his sdnatantte.
CLAUDIUS I have sent to seek him and to find the body. How dangerous is it that this man goes loose! Yet must not we put the strong law on him. Hes loved of the distracted multitude, 5 Who like not in their judgment, but their eyes. And where tis so, th offenders scourge is weighed, But never the offense. To bear all smooth and even, This sudden sending him away must seem Deliberate pause. Diseases desperate grown 10 By desperate appliance are relieved, Or not at all.

And, England, if my love thou holdst at aught As my great power thereof may give thee sense, Since yet thy cicatrice looks raw and red After the Danish sword and thy free awe Pays homage to usthou mayst not coldly set 65 Our sovereign process, which imports at full, By letters congruing to that effect, The present death of Hamlet.
