"I'll have grounds
more relative than this. The play's the thing
wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king."
i.e. I'll have more decisive proof of my uncle's guilt than the
testimony of the ghost [qa' QIch]. qa' is a post-TKD word; see the
KLI web site. As already explained, DawI' = Da-wI': behav-er, actor.
