Word Entry "Hamlet" #2

1) [...] That you vouchsafe your rest here in our court some little time[...]"(1330,14)

2) My Guess: I am thinking something along the lines of enjoy your rest or make yourself at home.

3) Definition: "Give or grant something to someone in a gracious or condescending manner."(dictionary.com)

4) I see now that King Claudius is granting Rozencrantz and Guildenstern a place to rest and to stay for as long as they please. This formality is in order to have them help Hamlet in the coming days.
