Sweet lord, if your lordship is at leisure, I would impart something to you from his majesty.

No, my good lord, it's for my comfort. Sir, Laertes has recently arrived at court. He's an absolute gentleman, believe me, full of the most excellent attributes and social graces. Indeed, to tell the truth, he is the card or calendar of gentry, for you shall find in him the continent of what part a gentleman would see.

The King, sir, has wagered six Barbary horses, against which I believe he has pledged six French swords, with their appurtenances -- girdle, straps, and so on. Three of the carriages are very finely wrought, exactly fitting for the hilts -- most delicate carriages, and elaborately decorated.
