POlONIUS love! his affections do not that way tend;

W hen the blood burns, how prodigal the soul

l ends the tongue vows: these blazes, daughter,

Giving more light than heat, extinct in both,

Even in their promise, as it is a-making,

You must not take for fire . In few, Ophelia,

Do not believe his vows; for they are brokers,

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
