Read the passage from hamlet, act i, scene iii.

costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
but not express’d in fancy; rich, not gaudy

He advises him to keep control of his words and to behave in the most practical manner in the ship. He asks him to restrain himself from the bad company, and rash decisions. Advising on the matter of dress and attire he asks him to dress richly but not gaudily. He also asks him not to borrow or lend money.
