For Hamlet, and the trifling of his favor,

Laertes
For Hamlet, and the trifling of his favor,
Hold it a fashion and a toy in blood,Hendiadys & Synecdoche
A violet in the youth of primy nature,Metaphor
Forward, not permanent, sweet, not lasting,
Hendiadys & MetaphorThe perfume and suppliance of a minute,Alliosis & Isocolon
No more.
Ophelia
No more but so?Apodoton

Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven,
Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine,
Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads.

Laertes
Think it no more.
For nature, crescent, does not grow alone
In thews and bulk, but, as this temple waxes,Hendiadys & Metaphor
The inward service of the mind and soul
Grows wide withal. Perhaps he loves you now,
And now no soil nor cautel doth besmirch
The virtue of his willDiacope; but you must fear,
His greatness weighed, his will is not his own,
For he himself is subject to his birth.
He may not, Parenthesesas unvalued persons do,
Carve for himself, for on his choice depends
HendiadysThe safety and the health of this whole state.Parentheses
And therefore must his choice be circumscribed
Unto the voice and yielding of that body
Whereof he is the head.Hendiadys & Synecdoche Then, if he says he loves you,
It fits your wisdom so far to believe it
As he in his particular act and place
May give his saying deed, which is no further
Than the main voice of Denmark goes withal.
Then weigh what loss your honor may sustain
If with too credent ear you list his songs
PolysyndetonOr lose your heart or your chaste treasure open
To his unmastered importunity.Circumlocution
Fear it, Ophelia; fear it, my dear sister,Diacope
And keep you in the rear of your affection,
Out of the shot and Alliterationdanger of desire.Metaphor
The chariest maid is prodigal enough
If she unmask her beauty to the moon.Metaphor
Virtue itself ’scapes not calumnious strokes.Personification
The canker galls the infants of the spring
Too oft before their buttons be disclosed,
And, in the morn and liquid dew of youth,
Contagious blastments are most imminent.Analogy & Metaphor
Be wary, then; best safety lies in fear.
Youth to itself rebels, though none else near.Personification
Ophelia
I shall the effect of this good lesson keep
As watchman to my heart. AnastropheBut, good my brother,Hyperbaton
Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven,Analogy & Metaphor
Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine,
Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads
And recks not his own rede.Simile & Anastrophe
