Ay, my lord.

Is she saying “Ay, my lord” like, “I know what you meant, I get it”?
Or is she saying it like, “Okay, fine, go ahead and lie in my lap”?
Poor Ophelia surely has no idea what she’s supposed to say in this situation.
Here, they are, all broken up, and now he’s all calling her attractive metal and wanting to lie in her lap.
Surely, even the most obedient girl (which she is) won’t have any idea which way the wind is blowing in this situation.
