in this excerpt from act iv, scene vii, of hamlet, which phrase supports the theme of disease, rotting, and decay? laertes: know you the hand?

king: 'tis hamlet's character: "naked"!
and in a postscript here, he says "alone."
can you devise me?

laertes: i am lost in it, my lord. but let him come,
it warms the very sickness in my heart
that i shall live and tell him to his teeth,
'thus didst thou.'

king: if it be so, laertes–
as how should it be so? how otherwise? –
will you be rul'd by me?

laertes: ay, my lord,
so you will not o'errule me to a peace.
