He that is mad, and sent to England

FIRST CLOWN: He that is mad, and sent to England.
HAMLET: Ay, marry; why was he sent to England?
FIRST CLOWN: Why, because he was mad; he shall recover
his wits there; or, if he do not, ’tis no great matter there.
HAMLET: Why?
FIRST CLOWN: ’Twill not be seen in him there; there the men are as mad as he.
William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act V, sc. 1, 125
