and thirty dozen moons with borrowd sheen

since love our hearts and hymen did our hands
unite commual in most sacred bands.
player queen: so many journeys may the sun and moon
make us again count oer ere love be done!
but, woe is me! you are so sick of late, (110)
so far from cheer and from your former state,
that i distrust you. yet, though i distrust,
discomfort you, my lord, it nothing must;
for womens fear and love holds quantity,
in neither aught, or in extremly. (115)

and as my love is sizd, my fear is so.
where love is great, the littlest doubts are fear;
where little fears grow great, great love grows there.
player king: faith, i must leave thee, love, and shortly too; (120)

honourd, belovd; and haply one as kind

in the dumb - show, what happens to the man who murders the king?
he gets sent to prison. he marries the queen. he falls asleep in the garden. he runs away.

Explanation:

To answer this, we recall the plot of the dumb - show in Hamlet. In the dumb - show, the man who murders the king (representing Claudius's murder of King Hamlet) then marries the queen (representing Claudius's marriage to Gertrude). The other options do not match the events of the dumb - show: he is not sent to prison, does not fall asleep in the garden, and does not run away.

Answer:

B. He marries the queen.
