Hor. Hail to your lordship!

Ham. Sir, my good friend; I'll change that name[b 2] with you:

Mar. My good lord,—[a 2]
Ham. I am very glad to see you.—[To Bernardo.]
Good even, sir.—[a 3]

Hor. A truant disposition, good my lord.
Ham. I would not hear[a 4] your enemy say so, 170

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.
