Best Answer

Hamlet and Fortinbras do not actually meet. Fortinbras has no grounds for saying that Hamlet might have been a "goodly king". Hamlet does encounter Fortinbras's army in Act 4 Scene 4 and, in some versions of the play at least, goes off on a soliloquy in which he wonders if he is a coward, and yet again vows to complete his revenge.

Excuse me! They do not meet. Fortinbras enters with his captain and says, "Go, from me greet the Danish king" and so on, and then exits. Hamlet then comes on and talks to Fortinbras's captain, "Sir, whose powers are these?" Fortinbras and Hamlet never met, which shows that Fortinbras's line "For he was likely, had he been put on, to be most royal" should be delivered through his hat.
