Ophelia, walk you here. (to CLAUDIUS) Gracious, so please you, We will bestow ourselves. (to OPHELIA)Read on this book That show of such an exercise may color Your loneliness.—We are oft to blame in this, 'Tis too much proved, that with devotion’s visage And pious action we do sugar o'er The devil himself.

The first line basically means "come here", as Polonius beckons his daughter. He then bids the King (Claudius) to retire to their hiding place. Polonius hands his daughter a prayer book, so the fact that she is alone reading won't be suspicious. He then notes that people often use devotion to God to deceive or sugarcoat their own bad deeds.
