Answer 2

The correct answer is: My words fly up, my thoughts remain below:

Words without thoughts never to heaven go.

Indeed, King Claudius, after having lost his composure after Prince Hamlet’s play, kneels down in his chapel and prays for forgiveness. However, he acknowledges that although he feels somewhat guilty of poisoning his late brother he likes the Queen too much and likes being King too much to give them up and confess. He is aware that his repentance is just superficial since he wants to stay in power.
