           SCENE 4 - Ophelia's chamber.
                  Enter OPHELIA and ATTENDANT
           OPHELIA 
              But is he often thus?
           ATTENDANT 
              'Tis evermore the prologue to his sleep: 
              He'll watch the horologe a double set, 
              If drink rock not his cradle.
           OPHELIA 
              O God, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains!
                                                             Exit ATTENDANT
                  Enter IAGO
           IAGO 
              What is't, Ophelia, she hath said to you?
           OPHELIA
              So please you, something touching the Lord Hamlet.
           IAGO 
              Marry, well bethought:
              'Tis told me, he hath very oft of late
              Given private time to you; and you yourself
              Have of your audience been most free and bounteous:
              If it be so, as so 'tis put on me,
              And that in way of caution, I must tell you,
              I would not, in plain terms, from this time forth,
              Have you so slander any moment leisure, 
              As to give words or talk with the Lord Hamlet. 
              Look to't, I charge you: come your ways.
           OPHELIA 
              I shall obey, my lord.
                                                                    Exeunt

Forth!
