Polonius advises Laertes

Name: Anonymous 2009-08-25 15:19

Yet here Laertes! Aboard, aboard, for shame!
The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail,
And you are stayed for. There – my blessings with thee!
And these few precepts in thy memory
Look thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportion’d thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch’d, unfledg’d courage. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel; but, being in,
Bear’t that th’opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy
But not express’d in fancy; rich not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man;
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are of a most select and generous choice in that.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all – to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell; my blessing season this in thee!

translation:  You are going on a trip; good luck.  Now remember:  Don't be impulsive and say and do whatever comes into your mind.  Speak in an ordinary manner, but not with vulgarity.  Keep your good friends close, but don't follow them into every situation.  Try not to get into a fight; but if you do, make your opponent fear you.  Listen to every man, but don't talk to every man.  Consider their criticisms, but don't be quick to criticize.  Buy the best clothing you can afford, but don't dress like a fag, because clothes make the man, and the French of high status are great examples of that.  Don't borrow and don't lend, because you could lose both the loan and the friend, and borrowing makes you a less capable manager.  Most important:  be true to yourself, and it will follow as night follows day that you can't be a fake to any man.  Have a good trip.

briefer translation:  Vacationing, eh.  Don't be a dick.  Don't get into trouble.  Don't dress like a bum or a fag.  Don't borrow or lend.  Don't be a phony.  Later, dude.
