Both Uses of
peruse
in
Hamlet, Prince of Denmark
- He falls to such perusal of my face As he would draw it.
Scene 2.1 *perusal = examine or consider with attention and in detail
- Hamlet return'd shall know you are come home:
We'll put on those shall praise your excellence
And set a double varnish on the fame
The Frenchman gave you; bring you in fine together
And wager on your heads: he, being remiss,
Most generous, and free from all contriving,
Will not peruse the foils; so that with ease,
Or with a little shuffling, you may choose
A sword unbated, and, in a pass of practice,
Requite him for your father.†Scene 4.7peruse = read or examine
Definition:
