Enter Horatio, Marcellus, and Bernardo.

Hor. Hail to your lordship!

Ham. I am glad to see you well:^{[b 1]} 160
Horatio,—or I do forget myself.

Hor. The same, my lord, and your poor servant ever.

Ham. Sir, my good friend; I'll change that name^{[b 2]} with you:
And what make you^{[b 3]} from Wittenberg, Horatio?
Marcellus?^{[a 1]} 165

Mar. My good lord,—^{[a 2]}

Ham. I am very glad to see you.—[To Bernardo.]
Good even, sir.—^{[a 3]}
But what, in faith, make you from Wittenberg?

Hor. A truant disposition, good my lord.

Ham. I would not hear^{[a 4]} your enemy say so, 170
Nor shall you do mine^{[a 5]} ear that violence,
To make^{[a 6]} it truster of your own report
Against yourself; I know you are no truant.
But what is your affair in Elsinore?
We'll teach you to drink deep^{[a 7]} ere you depart. 175

Hor. My lord, I came to see your father's funeral.

Ham. I pray thee,^{[a 8]} do not mock me, fellow-student;
I think it was to see^{[a 9]} my mother's wedding.
