2 Alas, my lord, I have been so affrighted! 4 My lord, as I was sewing in my chamber, 5 Lord Hamlet,--with his doublet all unbrac'd; 6 No hat upon his head; his stockings foul'd, 7 Ungart'red, and down-gyved to his ankle; 8 Pale as his shirt; his knees knocking each other; 9 And with a look so piteous in purport 10 As if he had been loosed out of hell 11 To speak of horrors,--he comes before me. 13 My lord, I do not know; 14 But truly I do fear it. 16 He took me by the wrist, and held me hard; 17 Then goes he to the length of all his arm; 18 And with his other hand thus o'er his brow, 19 He falls to such perusal of my face 20 As he would draw it. Long stay'd he so; 21 At last,--a little shaking of mine arm, 22 And thrice his head thus waving up and down,-- 23 He rais'd a sigh so piteous and profound 24 As it did seem to shatter all his bulk 25 And end his being: that done, he lets me go: 26 And, with his head over his shoulder turn'd 27 He seem'd to find his way without his eyes; 28 For out o' doors he went without their help, 29 And to the last bended their light on me. 37 No, my good lord; but, as you did command, 38 I did repel his letters and denied 39 His access to me.
