1. "In what particular thought to work I know not,
But in the gross and scope of mine opinion
This bodes some strange eruption to our state"(P 1307)
2. My Guess: Since it is Horatio's saying, I thought the word bode mean destruction or destroying.
3. Definition: Bode means
to be a sign of something to come
Synonyms:
signify, indicate, forebode, foreshadow, portend

4. Explanation: my guess and the definition of the word are not similar, but in the sentence the word Bode does sound like something bad is going to happen. Over all the word bode in Horatio's saying, basically means threat for something bad happening in the kingdom.
