Claudius lines directly follow Polonius'. He concedes that Polinius' assessement is true, and that those same words give him a guilty conscience. He compares the whore's use of make-up to disguise a bad complexion, in the same way he masks his own ugly actions with pretty words. Claudius ends by lamenting his own guilt.
