Word Entry: Act 3 Scene 3

1.  "Art more engaged! Help, angels. Make assay." (70)

2. My guess:  I think it means to interfere or help. Claudius realizes he has done horrible things but would do them again and so is asking for help or interference from heaven.  He thinks that heaven can fix what he can't.

3. Definition: examination and determination as to characteristics (as weight, measure, or quality) (merriam-webster.com).

4. Explanation:  Claudius wants maybe not the help but the final decision or judgement from god or heaven for his selfish actions. He will not accept the decision from men.
