Hamlet "I like him not, nor stands it safe with us / To let his madness range." explanation

Hamlet

Act 3 Scene 3

King Claudius (Hamlet's uncle) is speaking to Hamlet's friends: Rosencrantz y Guidenstern. King Claudius tells them:

"I like him not, nor stands it safe with us to let his madness range."

This means =

"I don't like Hamlet, neither it is safe for us to let him be this mad around us and to let his madness be out of control"

Claudius is worried about Hamlet's behavior, people who are mad usually tell the truth, and Hamlet suspects that King Claudius has murdered his father, king Hamlet. In previous scenes, Hamlet has been too honest with his family members and other people. Therefore, Claudius wants Hamlet to away.

After the phrase:"I like him not, nor stands it safe with us to let his madness range.", he asks Hamlet's friends to take him on a trip, so that they can feel safe again.
