Detailed explanation-1: -What Polonius is saying is that, even though Hamlet is talking crazy, it actually makes sense, or it has a “method.” Polonius’s assertion is ironic because he is right and wrong. Polonius believes Hamlet is acting “mad” because Hamlet’s love of Ophelia has driven him to such.
Detailed explanation-2: -’To thine own self be true’ is a line from act 1 scene 3 of Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet. It is spoken by King Claudius’ chief minister, Polonius as part of a speech where he is giving his son, Laertes, his blessing and advice on how to behave whilst at university.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hamlet asks Polonius if he has a daughter, and Polonius says he does. Hamlet urges Polonius to keep an eye on his daughter, lest she “walk i’ th’ sun” and “conceive.”
