What does time be thine and thy best graces spend it at thy will In Shakespeare?

It's an odd sentence, isn't it? Laertes has just been asking the king, Claudius, for permission to leave Denmark and go back to France. Claudius asks Polonius if he is in agreement, and Polonius says he is. Accordingly, Claudius gives permission. But the words he uses are "Take thy fair hour, Laertes. Time be thine and thy best graces spend it at thy will." Instead of giving him permission, he says he is giving him an hour, some time. This would be the right thing to say if Laertes was saying, "Your majesty, I know I have to leave for Paris but do you think I could have an hour to say goodbye to my father and sister?" Then it would make sense to reply "Take your hour. That time is yours to spend as you will." It should be noted that in the First Quarto version of the play, Claudius says simply, "With all our heart, Laertes. Fare thee well." Did Shakespeare revise the line thinking to revise those of Laertes and Polonius as well, but either didn't get around to it, or changed his mind and then didn't change Claudius's line back? It's a mystery.
