In which excerpt does claudius tell laertes of his plan to ensure hamlet's death? good laertes, if you desire to know the certainty of your dear father's death, is't writ in your revenge, that, swoopstake, you will draw both friend and foe, winner and loser? (hamlet act iv, scene v) why, now you speak like a good child and a true gentleman. that i am guiltless of your father's death, and am most sensible in grief for it, it shall as level to your judgment pierce as day does to your eye. (hamlet act iv, scene v) now must your conscience my acquaintance seal, and you must put me in your heart for friend, sith you have heard, and with a knowing ear, that he which hath your noble father slain pursued my life. (hamlet act iv, scene vii) when in your motion you are hot and dry-- as make your bouts more violent to that end-- and that he calls for drink, i'll have prepared him a chalice for the nonce, whereon but sipping, if he by chance escape your venom'd stuck, our purpose may hold there. (hamlet act iv, scene vii)

If you are on Plato then the correct answer is

When in your motion you are hot and dry--

As make your bouts more violent to that end--

And that he calls for drink, I'll have prepared him

A chalice for the nonce, whereon but sipping,

If he by chance escape your venom'd stuck,

Our purpose may hold there.

Hello. Although you have submitted a text, you have not submitted any questions related to it. This makes it impossible for me to give you an answer. however, to help you, I will explain to you what is happening in this text.

This text is an excerpt from the book "Odisseia" that tells the adventures of Odisseu, king of Itaca, when he was trying to return home, after being away for more than ten years.

This passage is spoken by Teiresias, a prophet who tells Odysseus that he will be able to return home, but on the way he will meet the sacred cattle of the god Helium. This cattle must be left alone and neither Odysseus nor any of his crew must touch the cattle so that they can get home.
