Laertes

Have you your father's leave? What says Polonius?

Polonius 

He has, my lord, wrung from me my slow leave
By laborsome petition, and at last
Upon his will I sealed my hard consent. 
I do beseech you give him leave to go.

Horatio

My lord, I came to see your father's funeral.

Hamlet 

I pray thee, do not mock me, fellow student.
I think it was to see my mother's wedding.

Horatio 

Indeed, my lord, it followed hard upon.

Hamlet 

Thrift, thrift, Horatio! The funeral baked meats
Did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables. 
Would I had met my dearest foe in heaven
Ere I had ever seen that day, Horatio.
