"Let him play his music"

    REYNALDO
At ‘closes in the consequence,’ at ‘friend or so,’ and ‘gentleman.’
    LORD POLONIUS
At ‘closes in the consequence,’ ay, marry;
He closes thus: ‘I know the gentleman;
I saw him yesterday, or t’ other day,
Or then, or then; with such, or such; and, as you say,
There was a’ 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?
    REYNALDO
My lord, I have.
    LORD POLONIUS
God be wi’ you; fare you well.
    REYNALDO
Good my lord!
    LORD POLONIUS
Observe his inclination in yourself.
    REYNALDO
I shall, my lord.
    LORD POLONIUS
And let him ply his music.
    REYNALDO
Well, my lord.
    LORD POLONIUS
Farewell!
