"HAMLET
The point!--envenom'd too!
Then, venom, to thy work.
Stabs KING CLAUDIUS
All
Treason! treason!
KING CLAUDIUS
O, yet defend me, friends; I am but hurt.
HAMLET
Here, thou incestuous, murderous, damned Dane,
Drink off this potion. Is thy union here?
Follow my mother.

Polonius didn't have any type of cover or guard while listening in on the conversation and wasn't expecting for Hamlet to notice him, "him"(What Hamlet had thought was the supposed Claudius) It was maybe because Hamlet had thought Polonius was Claudius, but even so. Polonius hid behind the tapestry or the arras while he was eavesdropping on Gertude and Hamlet. Hamlet thought that it happened to be the king Claudius who was spying on him and had hid behind there, but to his unknowing, after slashing away at the cloth he found that he had killed Polonius. Hamlet, instead of being shocked by killing the man said that he was a fool and hid his body somewhere.
