Answer:

Hamlet: Is this a prologue, or the posy of a ring?

Ophelia: 'Tis brief, my lord.

Hamlet: As woman's love.

Explanation:

In the play "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare, the main protagonist Hamlet plans on avenging his father's murder. And through his proposed plan of the revenge, he also showed his notions about omen in general and his mother as well as Ophelia in particular.

In the given conversation of Hamlet and Ophelia in Act III scene ii, Hamlet compares the short prologue of the play they were viewing, with the short duration of a woman's love. By comparing the love of women to that of the play, he shows his critical take on what he thinks women are.
