    FROM off a hill whose concave womb reworded
    A plaintful story from a sistering vale,
    My spirits to attend this double voice accorded,
    And down I laid to list the sad-tuned tale;
    Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale,
    Tearing of papers, breaking rings a-twain,
    Storming her world with sorrow's wind and rain.
    Upon her head a platted hive of straw,
    Which fortified her visage from the sun,
    Whereon the thought might think sometime it saw
    The carcass of beauty spent and done:
    Time had not scythed all that youth begun,
    Nor youth all quit; but, spite of heaven's fell rage,
    Some beauty peep'd through lattice of sear'd age.
    Oft did she heave her napkin to her eyne,
    Which on it had conceited characters,
    Laundering the silken figures in the brine
    That season'd woe had pelleted in tears,
    And often reading what contents it bears;
    As often shrieking undistinguish'd woe,
    In clamours of all size, both high and low.
    Sometimes her levell'd eyes their carriage ride,
    As they did battery to the spheres intend;
    Sometime diverted their poor balls are tied
    To the orbed earth; sometimes they do extend
    Their view right on; anon their gazes lend
    To every place at once, and, nowhere fix'd,
    The mind and sight distractedly commix'd.
    Her hair, nor loose nor tied in formal plat,
    Proclaim'd in her a careless hand of pride
    For some, untuck'd, descended her sheaved hat,
    Hanging her pale and pined cheek beside;
    Some in her threaden fillet still did bide,
    And true to bondage would not break from thence,
    Though slackly braided in loose negligence.
    A thousand favours from a maund she drew
    Of amber, crystal, and of beaded jet,
    Which one by one she in a river threw,
    Upon whose weeping margent she was set;
    Like usury, applying wet to wet,
    Or monarch's hands that let not bounty fall
    Where want cries some, but where excess begs all.
    Of folded schedules had she many a one,
    Which she perused, sigh'd, tore, and gave the flood;
    Crack'd many a ring of posied gold and bone
    Bidding them find their sepulchres in mud;
    Found yet moe letters sadly penn'd in blood,
    With sleided silk feat and affectedly
    Enswathed, and seal'd to curious secrecy.
    These often bathed she in her fluxive eyes,
    And often kiss'd, and often 'gan to tear:
    Cried 'O false blood, thou register of lies,
    What unapproved witness dost thou bear!
    Ink would have seem'd more black and damned here!'
    This said, in top of rage the lines she rents,
    Big discontent so breaking their contents.
    A reverend man that grazed his cattle nigh--
    Sometime a blusterer, that the ruffle knew
    Of court, of city, and had let go by
    The swiftest hours, observed as they flew--
    Towards this afflicted fancy fastly drew,
    And, privileged by age, desires to know
    In brief the grounds and motives of her woe.
    So slides he down upon his grained bat,
    And comely-distant sits he by her side;
    When he again desires her, being sat,
    Her grievance with his hearing to divide:
    If that from him there may be aught applied
    Which may her suffering ecstasy assuage,
    'Tis promised in the charity of age.
    'Father,' she says, 'though in me you behold
    The injury of many a blasting hour,
    Let it not tell your judgment I am old;
    Not age, but sorrow, over me hath power:
    I might as yet have been a spreading flower,
    Fresh to myself, If I had self-applied
    Love to myself and to no love beside.
    'But, woe is me! too early I attended
    A youthful suit--it was to gain my grace--
    Of one by nature's outwards so commended,
    That maidens' eyes stuck over all his face:
    Love lack'd a dwelling, and made him her place;
    And when in his fair parts she did abide,
    She was new lodged and newly deified.
    'His browny locks did hang in crooked curls;
    And every light occasion of the wind
    Upon his lips their silken parcels hurls.
    What's sweet to do, to do will aptly find:
    Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind,
    For on his visage was in little drawn
    What largeness thinks in Paradise was sawn.
    'Small show of man was yet upon his chin;
    His phoenix down began but to appear
    Like unshorn velvet on that termless skin
    Whose bare out-bragg'd the web it seem'd to wear:
    Yet show'd his visage by that cost more dear;
    And nice affections wavering stood in doubt
    If best were as it was, or best without.
    'His qualities were beauteous as his form,
    For maiden-tongued he was, and thereof free;
    Yet, if men moved him, was he such a storm
    As oft 'twixt May and April is to see,
    When winds breathe sweet, untidy though they be.
    His rudeness so with his authorized youth
    Did livery falseness in a pride of truth.
    'Well could he ride, and often men would say
    'That horse his mettle from his rider takes:
    Proud of subjection, noble by the sway,
    What rounds, what bounds, what course, what stop
    he makes!'
    And controversy hence a question takes,
    Whether the horse by him became his deed,
    Or he his manage by the well-doing steed.
    'But quickly on this side the verdict went:
    His real habitude gave life and grace
    To appertainings and to ornament,
    Accomplish'd in himself, not in his case:
    All aids, themselves made fairer by their place,
    Came for additions; yet their purposed trim
    Pieced not his grace, but were all graced by him.
    'So on the tip of his subduing tongue
    All kinds of arguments and question deep,
    All replication prompt, and reason strong,
    For his advantage still did wake and sleep:
    To make the weeper laugh, the laugher weep,
    He had the dialect and different skill,
    Catching all passions in his craft of will:
    'That he did in the general bosom reign
    Of young, of old; and sexes both enchanted,
    To dwell with him in thoughts, or to remain
    In personal duty, following where he haunted:
    Consents bewitch'd, ere he desire, have granted;
    And dialogued for him what he would say,
    Ask'd their own wills, and made their wills obey.
    'Many there were that did his picture get,
    To serve their eyes, and in it put their mind;
    Like fools that in th' imagination set
    The goodly objects which abroad they find
    Of lands and mansions, theirs in thought assign'd;
    And labouring in moe pleasures to bestow them
    Than the true gouty landlord which doth owe them:
    'So many have, that never touch'd his hand,
    Sweetly supposed them mistress of his heart.
    My woeful self, that did in freedom stand,
    And was my own fee-simple, not in part,
    What with his art in youth, and youth in art,
    Threw my affections in his charmed power,
    Reserved the stalk and gave him all my flower.
    'Yet did I not, as some my equals did,
    Demand of him, nor being desired yielded;
    Finding myself in honour so forbid,
    With safest distance I mine honour shielded:
    Experience for me many bulwarks builded
    Of proofs new-bleeding, which remain'd the foil
    Of this false jewel, and his amorous spoil.
    'But, ah, who ever shunn'd by precedent
    The destined ill she must herself assay?
    Or forced examples, 'gainst her own content,
    To put the by-past perils in her way?
    Counsel may stop awhile what will not stay;
    For when we rage, advice is often seen
    By blunting us to make our wits more keen.
    'Nor gives it satisfaction to our blood,
    That we must curb it upon others' proof;
    To be forbod the sweets that seem so good,
    For fear of harms that preach in our behoof.
    O appetite, from judgment stand aloof!
    The one a palate hath that needs will taste,
    Though Reason weep, and cry, 'It is thy last.'
    'For further I could say 'This man's untrue,'
    And knew the patterns of his foul beguiling;
    Heard where his plants in others' orchards grew,
    Saw how deceits were gilded in his smiling;
    Knew vows were ever brokers to defiling;
    Thought characters and words merely but art,
    And bastards of his foul adulterate heart.
    'And long upon these terms I held my city,
    Till thus he gan besiege me: 'Gentle maid,
    Have of my suffering youth some feeling pity,
    And be not of my holy vows afraid:
    That's to ye sworn to none was ever said;
    For feasts of love I have been call'd unto,
    Till now did ne'er invite

    Two households, both alike in dignity,
    In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
    From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
    Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
    From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
    A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
    Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
    Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
    The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
    And the continuance of their parents' rage,
    Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
    Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
    The which if you with patient ears attend,
    What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

    SCENE II. A room in the castle.

    Enter KING CLAUDIUS, QUEEN GERTRUDE, ROSENCRANTZ, GUILDENSTERN, and Attendants
    KING CLAUDIUS
    Welcome, dear Rosencrantz and Guildenstern!
    Moreover that we much did long to see you,
    The need we have to use you did provoke
    Our hasty sending. Something have you heard
    Of Hamlet's transformation; so call it,
    Sith nor the exterior nor the inward man
    Resembles that it was. What it should be,
    More than his father's death, that thus hath put him
    So much from the understanding of himself,
    I cannot dream of: I entreat you both,
    That, being of so young days brought up with him,
    And sith so neighbour'd to his youth and havior,
    That you vouchsafe your rest here in our court
    Some little time: so by your companies
    To draw him on to pleasures, and to gather,
    So much as from occasion you may glean,
    Whether aught, to us unknown, afflicts him thus,
    That, open'd, lies within our remedy.
    QUEEN GERTRUDE
    Good gentlemen, he hath much talk'd of you;
    And sure I am two men there are not living
    To whom he more adheres. If it will please you
    To show us so much gentry and good will
    As to expend your time with us awhile,
    For the supply and profit of our hope,
    Your visitation shall receive such thanks
    As fits a king's remembrance.
    ROSENCRANTZ
    Both your majesties
    Might, by the sovereign power you have of us,
    Put your dread pleasures more into command
    Than to entreaty.
    GUILDENSTERN
    But we both obey,
    And here give up ourselves, in the full bent
    To lay our service freely at your feet,
    To be commanded.
    KING CLAUDIUS
    Thanks, Rosencrantz and gentle Guildenstern.
    QUEEN GERTRUDE
    Thanks, Guildenstern and gentle Rosencrantz:
    And I beseech you instantly to visit
    My too much changed son. Go, some of you,
    And bring these gentlemen where Hamlet is.
    GUILDENSTERN
    Heavens make our presence and our practises
    Pleasant and helpful to him!
    QUEEN GERTRUDE
    Ay, amen!
    Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ, GUILDENSTERN, and some Attendants

    Enter POLONIUS

    LORD POLONIUS
    The ambassadors from Norway, my good lord,
    Are joyfully return'd.
    KING CLAUDIUS
    Thou still hast been the father of good news.
    LORD POLONIUS
    Have I, my lord? I assure my good liege,
    I hold my duty, as I hold my soul,
    Both to my God and to my gracious king:
    And I do think, or else this brain of mine
    Hunts not the trail of policy so sure
    As it hath used to do, that I have found
    The very cause of Hamlet's lunacy.
    KING CLAUDIUS
    O, speak of that; that do I long to hear.
    LORD POLONIUS
    Give first admittance to the ambassadors;
    My news shall be the fruit to that great feast.
    KING CLAUDIUS
    Thyself do grace to them, and bring them in.
    Exit POLONIUS

    He tells me, my dear Gertrude, he hath found
    The head and source of all your son's distemper.
    QUEEN GERTRUDE
    I doubt it is no other but the main;
    His father's death, and our o'erhasty marriage.
    KING CLAUDIUS
    Well, we shall sift him.
    Re-enter POLONIUS, with VOLTIMAND and CORNELIUS

    Welcome, my good friends!
    Say, Voltimand, what from our brother Norway?
    VOLTIMAND
    Most fair return of greetings and desires.
    Upon our first, he sent out to suppress
    His nephew's levies; which to him appear'd
    To be a preparation 'gainst the Polack;
    But, better look'd into, he truly found
    It was against your highness: whereat grieved,
    That so his sickness, age and impotence
    Was falsely borne in hand, sends out arrests
    On Fortinbras; which he, in brief, obeys;
    Receives rebuke from Norway, and in fine
    Makes vow before his uncle never more
    To give the assay of arms against your majesty.
    Whereon old Norway, overcome with joy,
    Gives him three thousand crowns in annual fee,
    And his commission to employ those soldiers,
    So levied as before, against the Polack:
    With an entreaty, herein further shown,
    Giving a paper

    That it might please you to give quiet pass
    Through your dominions for this enterprise,
    On such regards of safety and allowance
    As therein are set down.
    KING CLAUDIUS
    It likes us well;
    And at our more consider'd time well read,
    Answer, and think upon this business.
    Meantime we thank you for your well-took labour:
    Go to your rest; at night we'll feast together:
    Most welcome home!
    Exeunt VOLTIMAND and CORNELIUS

    LORD POLONIUS
    This business is well ended.
    My liege, and madam, to expostulate
    What majesty should be, what duty is,
    Why day is day, night night, and time is time,
    Were nothing but to waste night, day and time.
    Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit,
    And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,
    I will be brief: your noble son is mad:
    Mad call I it; for, to define true madness,
    What is't but to be nothing else but mad?
    But let that go.
    QUEEN GERTRUDE
    More matter, with less art.
    LORD POLONIUS
    Madam, I swear I use no art at all.
    That he is mad, 'tis true: 'tis true 'tis pity;
    And pity 'tis 'tis true: a foolish figure;
    But farewell it, for I will use no art.
    Mad let us grant him, then: and now remains
    That we find out the cause of this effect,
    Or rather say, the cause of this defect,
    For this effect defective comes by cause:
    Thus it remains, and the remainder thus. Perpend.
    I have a daughter--have while she is mine--
    Who, in her duty and obedience, mark,
    Hath given me this: now gather, and surmise.
    Reads

    'To the celestial and my soul's idol, the most
    beautified Ophelia,'--
    That's an ill phrase, a vile phrase; 'beautified' is
    a vile phrase: but you shall hear. Thus:
    Reads

    'In her excellent white bosom, these, & c.'
    QUEEN GERTRUDE
    Came this from Hamlet to her?
    LORD POLONIUS
    Good madam, stay awhile; I will be faithful.
    Reads

    'Doubt thou the stars are fire;
    Doubt that the sun doth move;
    Doubt truth to be a liar;
    But never doubt I love.
    'O dear Ophelia, I am ill at these numbers;
    I have not art to reckon my groans: but that
    I love thee best, O most best, believe it. Adieu.
    'Thine evermore most dear lady, whilst
    this machine is to him, HAMLET.'
    This, in obedience, hath my daughter shown me,
    And more above, hath his solicitings,
    As they fell out by time, by means and place,
    All given to mine ear.
    KING CLAUDIUS
    But how hath she
    Received his love?
    LORD POLONIUS
    What do you think of me?
    KING CLAUDIUS
    As of a man faithful and honourable.
    LORD POLONIUS
    I would fain prove so. But what might you think,
    When I had seen this hot love on the wing--
    As I perceived it, I must tell you that,
    Before my daughter told me--what might you,
    Or my dear majesty your queen here, think,
    If I had play'd the desk or table-book,
    Or given my heart a winking, mute and dumb,
    Or look'd upon this love with idle sight;
    What might you think? No, I went round to work,
    And my young mistress thus I did bespeak:
    'Lord Hamlet is a prince, out of thy star;
    This must not be:' and then I precepts gave her,
    That she should lock herself from his resort,
    Admit no messengers, receive no tokens.
    Which done, she took the fruits of my advice;
    And he, repulsed--a short tale to make--
    Fell into a sadness, then into a fast,
    Thence to a watch, thence into a weakness,
    Thence to a lightness, and, by this declension,
    Into the madness wherein now he raves,
    And all we mourn for.
    KING CLAUDIUS
    Do you think 'tis this?
    QUEEN GERTRUDE
    It may be, very likely.
    LORD POLONIUS
    Hath there been such a time--I'd fain know that--
    That I have positively said 'Tis so,'
    When it proved otherwise?
    KING CLAUDIUS
    Not that I know.
    LORD POLONIUS
    [Pointing to his head and shoulder]
    Take this from this, if this be otherwise:
    If circumstances lead me, I will find
    Where truth is hid, though it were hid indeed
    Within the centre.
    KING CLAUDIUS
    How may we try it further?
    LORD POLONIUS
    You know, sometimes he walks four hours together
    Here in the lobby.
    QUEEN GERTRUDE
    So he does indeed.
    LORD POLONIUS
    At such a time I'll loose my daughter to him:
    Be you and I behind an arras then;
    Mark the encounter: if he love her not
    And be not from his reason fall'n thereon,

    SCENE V. Another part of the platform.

    Enter GHOST and HAMLET
    HAMLET
    Where wilt thou lead me? speak; I'll go no further.
    Ghost
    Mark me.
    HAMLET
    I will.
    Ghost
    My hour is almost come,
    When I to sulphurous and tormenting flames
    Must render up myself.
    HAMLET
    Alas, poor ghost!
    Ghost
    Pity me not, but lend thy serious hearing
    To what I shall unfold.
    HAMLET
    Speak; I am bound to hear.
    Ghost
    So art thou to revenge, when thou shalt hear.
    HAMLET
    What?
    Ghost
    I am thy father's spirit,
    Doom'd for a certain term to walk the night,
    And for the day confined to fast in fires,
    Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature
    Are burnt and purged away. But that I am forbid
    To tell the secrets of my prison-house,
    I could a tale unfold whose lightest word
    Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood,
    Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres,
    Thy knotted and combined locks to part
    And each particular hair to stand on end,
    Like quills upon the fretful porpentine:
    But this eternal blazon must not be
    To ears of flesh and blood. List, list, O, list!
    If thou didst ever thy dear father love--
    HAMLET
    O God!
    Ghost
    Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder.
    HAMLET
    Murder!
    Ghost
    Murder most foul, as in the best it is;
    But this most foul, strange and unnatural.
    HAMLET
    Haste me to know't, that I, with wings as swift
    As meditation or the thoughts of love,
    May sweep to my revenge.
    Ghost
    I find thee apt;
    And duller shouldst thou be than the fat weed
    That roots itself in ease on Lethe wharf,
    Wouldst thou not stir in this. Now, Hamlet, hear:
    'Tis given out that, sleeping in my orchard,
    A serpent stung me; so the whole ear of Denmark
    Is by a forged process of my death
    Rankly abused: but know, thou noble youth,
    The serpent that did sting thy father's life
    Now wears his crown.
    HAMLET
    O my prophetic soul! My uncle!
    Ghost
    Ay, that incestuous, that adulterate beast,
    With witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts,--
    O wicked wit and gifts, that have the power
    So to seduce!--won to his shameful lust
    The will of my most seeming-virtuous queen:
    O Hamlet, what a falling-off was there!
    From me, whose love was of that dignity
    That it went hand in hand even with the vow
    I made to her in marriage, and to decline
    Upon a wretch whose natural gifts were poor
    To those of mine!
    But virtue, as it never will be moved,
    Though lewdness court it in a shape of heaven,
    So lust, though to a radiant angel link'd,
    Will sate itself in a celestial bed,
    And prey on garbage.
    But, soft! methinks I scent the morning air;
    Brief let me be. Sleeping within my orchard,
    My custom always of the afternoon,
    Upon my secure hour thy uncle stole,
    With juice of cursed hebenon in a vial,
    And in the porches of my ears did pour
    The leperous distilment; whose effect
    Holds such an enmity with blood of man
    That swift as quicksilver it courses through
    The natural gates and alleys of the body,
    And with a sudden vigour doth posset
    And curd, like eager droppings into milk,
    The thin and wholesome blood: so did it mine;
    And a most instant tetter bark'd about,
    Most lazar-like, with vile and loathsome crust,
    All my smooth body.
    Thus was I, sleeping, by a brother's hand
    Of life, of crown, of queen, at once dispatch'd:
    Cut off even in the blossoms of my sin,
    Unhousel'd, disappointed, unanel'd,
    No reckoning made, but sent to my account
    With all my imperfections on my head:
    O, horrible! O, horrible! most horrible!
    If thou hast nature in thee, bear it not;
    Let not the royal bed of Denmark be
    A couch for luxury and damned incest.
    But, howsoever thou pursuest this act,
    Taint not thy mind, nor let thy soul contrive
    Against thy mother aught: leave her to heaven
    And to those thorns that in her bosom lodge,
    To prick and sting her. Fare thee well at once!
    The glow-worm shows the matin to be near,
    And 'gins to pale his uneffectual fire:
    Adieu, adieu! Hamlet, remember me.
    Exit

    HAMLET
    O all you host of heaven! O earth! what else?
    And shall I couple hell? O, fie! Hold, hold, my heart;
    And you, my sinews, grow not instant old,
    But bear me stiffly up. Remember thee!
    Ay, thou poor ghost, while memory holds a seat
    In this distracted globe. Remember thee!
    Yea, from the table of my memory
    I'll wipe away all trivial fond records,
    All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past,
    That youth and observation copied there;
    And thy commandment all alone shall live
    Within the book and volume of my brain,
    Unmix'd with baser matter: yes, by heaven!
    O most pernicious woman!
    O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain!
    My tables,--meet it is I set it down,
    That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain;
    At least I'm sure it may be so in Denmark:

    So, uncle, there you are. Now to my word;
    It is 'Adieu, adieu! remember me.'
    I have sworn 't.

    Good my lord, tell it.

    No; you'll reveal it.

    Not I, my lord, by heaven.

    Nor I, my lord.
    HAMLET
    How say you, then; would heart of man once think it?
    But you'll be secret?
    HORATIO MARCELLUS
    Ay, by heaven, my lord.
    HAMLET
    There's ne'er a villain dwelling in all Denmark
    But he's an arrant knave.
    HORATIO
    There needs no ghost, my lord, come from the grave
    To tell us this.
    HAMLET
    Why, right; you are i' the right;
    And so, without more circumstance at all,
    I hold it fit that we shake hands and part:
    You, as your business and desire shall point you;
    For every man has business and desire,
    Such as it is; and for mine own poor part,
    Look you, I'll go pray.
    HORATIO
    These are but wild and whirling words, my lord.
    HAMLET
    I'm sorry they offend you, heartily;
    Yes, 'faith heartily.
    HORATIO
    There's no offence, my lord.
    HAMLET
    Yes, by Saint Patrick, but there is, Horatio,
    And much offence too. Touching this vision here,
    It is an honest ghost, that let me tell you:
    For your desire to know what is between us,
    O'ermaster 't as you may. And now, good friends,
    As you are friends, scholars and soldiers,
    Give me one poor request.
    HORATIO
    What is't, my lord? we will.
    HAMLET
    Never make known what you have seen to-night.
    HORATIO MARCELLUS
    My lord, we will not.
    HAMLET
    Nay, but swear't.
    HORATIO
    In faith,
    My lord, not I.
    MARCELLUS
    Nor I, my lord, in faith.
    HAMLET
    Upon my sword.
    MARCELLUS
    We have sworn, my lord, already.
    HAMLET
    Indeed, upon my sword, indeed.

    HAMLET
    Ah, ha, boy! say'st thou so? art thou there,
    truepenny?
    Come on--you hear this fellow in the cellarage--
    Consent to swear.
    HORATIO
    Propose the oath, my lord.
    HAMLET
    Never to speak of this that you have seen,
    Swear by my sword.
    Ghost
    [Beneath] Swear.
    HAMLET
    Hic et ubique? then we'll shift our ground.
    Come hither, gentlemen,
    And lay your hands again upon my sword:
    Never to speak of this that you have heard,
    Swear by my sword.
    Ghost
    [Beneath] Swear.
    HAMLET
    Well said, old mole! canst work i' the earth so fast?
    A worthy pioner! Once more remove, good friends.
    HORATIO
    O day and night, but this is wondrous strange!
    HAMLET
    And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.
    There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
    Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. But come;
    Here, as before, never, so help you mercy,
    How strange or odd soe'er I bear myself,
    As I perchance hereafter shall think meet
    To put an antic disposition on,
    That you, at such times seeing me, never shall,
    With arms encumber'd thus, or this headshake,
    Or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase,
    As 'Well, well, we know,' or 'We could, an if we would,'

    HAMLET
    The air bites shrewdly; it is very cold.
    HORATIO
    It is a nipping and an eager air.
    HAMLET
    What hour now?
    HORATIO
    I think it lacks of twelve.
    HAMLET
    No, it is struck.
    HORATIO
    Indeed? I heard it not: then it draws near the season
    Wherein the spirit held his wont to walk.
    A flourish of trumpets, and ordnance shot off, within

    What does this mean, my lord?
    HAMLET
    The king doth wake to-night and takes his rouse,
    Keeps wassail, and the swaggering up-spring reels;
    And, as he drains his draughts of Rhenish down,
    The kettle-drum and trumpet thus bray out
    The triumph of his pledge.
    HORATIO
    Is it a custom?
    HAMLET
    Ay, marry, is't:
    But to my mind, though I am native here
    And to the manner born, it is a custom
    More honour'd in the breach than the observance.
    This heavy-headed revel east and west
    Makes us traduced and tax'd of other nations:
    They clepe us drunkards, and with swinish phrase
    Soil our addition; and indeed it takes
    From our achievements, though perform'd at height,
    The pith and marrow of our attribute.
    So, oft it chances in particular men,
    That for some vicious mole of nature in them,
    As, in their birth--wherein they are not guilty,
    Since nature cannot choose his origin--
    By the o'ergrowth of some complexion,
    Oft breaking down the pales and forts of reason,
    Or by some habit that too much o'er-leavens
    The form of plausive manners, that these men,
    Carrying, I say, the stamp of one defect,
    Being nature's livery, or fortune's star,--
    Their virtues else--be they as pure as grace,
    As infinite as man may undergo--
    Shall in the general censure take corruption
    From that particular fault: the dram of eale
    Doth all the noble substance of a doubt
    To his own scandal.

    Look, my lord, it comes!

    HAMLET
    Angels and ministers of grace defend us!
    Be thou a spirit of health or goblin damn'd,
    Bring with thee airs from heaven or blasts from hell,
    Be thy intents wicked or charitable,
    Thou comest in such a questionable shape
    That I will speak to thee: I'll call thee Hamlet,
    King, father, royal Dane: O, answer me!
    Let me not burst in ignorance; but tell
    Why thy canonized bones, hearsed in death,
    Have burst their cerements; why the sepulchre,
    Wherein we saw thee quietly inurn'd,
    Hath oped his ponderous and marble jaws,
    To cast thee up again. What may this mean,
    That thou, dead corse, again in complete steel
    Revisit'st thus the glimpses of the moon,
    Making night hideous; and we fools of nature
    So horridly to shake our disposition
    With thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls?
    Say, why is this? wherefore? what should we do?
    Ghost beckons HAMLET

    HORATIO
    It beckons you to go away with it,
    As if it some impartment did desire
    To you alone.
    MARCELLUS
    Look, with what courteous action
    It waves you to a more removed ground:
    But do not go with it.
    HORATIO
    No, by no means.
    HAMLET
    It will not speak; then I will follow it.
    HORATIO
    Do not, my lord.
    HAMLET
    Why, what should be the fear?
    I do not set my life in a pin's fee;
    And for my soul, what can it do to that,
    Being a thing immortal as itself?
    It waves me forth again: I'll follow it.
    HORATIO
    What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord,
    Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff
    That beetles o'er his base into the sea,
    And there assume some other horrible form,
    Which might deprive your sovereignty of reason
    And draw you into madness? think of it:
    The very place puts toys of desperation,
    Without more motive, into every brain
    That looks so many fathoms to the sea
    And hears it roar beneath.
    HAMLET
    It waves me still.
    Go on; I'll follow thee.
    MARCELLUS
    You shall not go, my lord.
    HAMLET
    Hold off your hands.
    HORATIO
    Be ruled; you shall not go.
    HAMLET
    My fate cries out,
    And makes each petty artery in this body
    As hardy as the Nemean lion's nerve.
    Still am I call'd. Unhand me, gentlemen.
    By heaven, I'll make a ghost of him that lets me!
    I say, away! Go on; I'll follow thee.

    SCENE III. A room in Polonius' house.

    Enter LAERTES and OPHELIA
    LAERTES
    My necessaries are embark'd: farewell:
    And, sister, as the winds give benefit
    And convoy is assistant, do not sleep,
    But let me hear from you.
    OPHELIA
    Do you doubt that?
    LAERTES
    For Hamlet and the trifling of his favour,
    Hold it a fashion and a toy in blood,
    A violet in the youth of primy nature,
    Forward, not permanent, sweet, not lasting,
    The perfume and suppliance of a minute; No more.
    OPHELIA
    No more but so?
    LAERTES
    Think it no more;
    For nature, crescent, does not grow alone
    In thews and bulk, but, as this temple waxes,
    The inward service of the mind and soul
    Grows wide withal. Perhaps he loves you now,
    And now no soil nor cautel doth besmirch
    The virtue of his will: but you must fear,
    His greatness weigh'd, his will is not his own;
    For he himself is subject to his birth:
    He may not, as unvalued persons do,
    Carve for himself; for on his choice depends
    The safety and health of this whole state;
    And therefore must his choice be circumscribed
    Unto the voice and yielding of that body
    Whereof he is the head. Then if he says he loves you,
    It fits your wisdom so far to believe it
    As he in his particular act and place
    May give his saying deed; which is no further
    Than the main voice of Denmark goes withal.
    Then weigh what loss your honour may sustain,
    If with too credent ear you list his songs,
    Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
    To his unmaster'd importunity.
    Fear it, Ophelia, fear it, my dear sister,
    And keep you in the rear of your affection,
    Out of the shot and danger of desire.
    The chariest maid is prodigal enough,
    If she unmask her beauty to the moon:
    Virtue itself 'scapes not calumnious strokes:
    The canker galls the infants of the spring,
    Too oft before their buttons be disclosed,
    And in the morn and liquid dew of youth
    Contagious blastments are most imminent.
    Be wary then; best safety lies in fear:
    Youth to itself rebels, though none else near.
    OPHELIA
    I shall the effect of this good lesson keep,
    As watchman to my heart. But, good my brother,
    Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
    Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven;
    Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine,
    Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads,
    And recks not his own rede.
    LAERTES
    O, fear me not.
    I stay too long: but here my father comes.
    Enter POLONIUS

    A double blessing is a double grace,
    Occasion smiles upon a second leave.
    LORD POLONIUS
    Yet here, Laertes! aboard, aboard, for shame!
    The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail,
    And you are stay'd for. There; my blessing with thee!
    And these few precepts in thy memory
    See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
    Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
    Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
    Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
    Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
    But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
    Of each new-hatch'd, unfledged comrade. Beware
    Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
    Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee.
    Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
    Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
    Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
    But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
    For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
    And they in France of the best rank and station
    Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
    Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
    For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
    And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
    This above all: to thine ownself be true,
    And it must follow, as the night the day,
    Thou canst not then be false to any man.
    Farewell: my blessing season this in thee!
    LAERTES
    Most humbly do I take my leave, my lord.
    LORD POLONIUS
    The time invites you; go; your servants tend.
    LAERTES
    Farewell, Ophelia; and remember well
    What I have said to you.
    OPHELIA
    'Tis in my memory lock'd,
    And you yourself shall keep the key of it.
    LAERTES
    Farewell.

    LORD POLONIUS
    What is't, Ophelia, be hath said to you?
    OPHELIA
    So please you, something touching the Lord Hamlet.
    LORD POLONIUS
    Marry, well bethought:
    'Tis told me, he hath very oft of late
    Given private time to you; and you yourself
    Have of your audience been most free and bounteous:
    If it be so, as so 'tis put on me,
    And that in way of caution, I must tell you,
    You do not understand yourself so clearly
    As it behoves my daughter and your honour.
    What is between you? give me up the truth.
    OPHELIA
    He hath, my lord, of late made many tenders
    Of his affection to me.
    LORD POLONIUS
    Affection! pooh! you speak like a green girl,
    Unsifted in such perilous circumstance.
    Do you believe his tenders, as you call them?
    OPHELIA
    I do not know, my lord, what I should think.
    LORD POLONIUS
    Marry, I'll teach you: think yourself a baby;
    That you have ta'en these tenders for true pay,
    Which are not sterling. Tender yourself more dearly;
    Or--not to crack the wind of the poor phrase,
    Running it thus--you'll tender me a fool.
    OPHELIA
    My lord, he hath importuned me with love
    In honourable fashion.
    LORD POLONIUS
    Ay, fashion you may call it; go to, go to.
    OPHELIA
    And hath given countenance to his speech, my lord,
    With almost all the holy vows of heaven.
    LORD POLONIUS
    Ay, springes to catch woodcocks. I do know,
    When the blood burns, how prodigal the soul
    Lends the tongue vows: these blazes, daughter,
    Giving more light than heat, extinct in both,
    Even in their promise, as it is a-making,
    You must not take for fire. From this time
    Be somewhat scanter of your maiden presence;
    Set your entreatments at a higher rate
    Than a command to parley. For Lord Hamlet,
    Believe so much in him, that he is young
    And with a larger tether may he walk
    Than may be given you: in few, Ophelia,
    Do not believe his vows; for they are brokers,
    Not of that dye which their investments show,
    But mere implorators of unholy suits,
    Breathing like sanctified and pious bawds,
    The better to beguile. This is for all:
    I would not, in plain terms, from this time forth,
    Have you so slander any moment leisure,
    As to give words or talk with the Lord Hamlet.
    Look to't, I charge you: come your ways.
    OPHELIA
    I shall obey, my lord.

    SCENE II. A room of state in the castle.

    Enter KING CLAUDIUS, QUEEN GERTRUDE, HAMLET, POLONIUS, LAERTES, VOLTIMAND, CORNELIUS, Lords, and Attendants
    KING CLAUDIUS
    Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death
    The memory be green, and that it us befitted
    To bear our hearts in grief and our whole kingdom
    To be contracted in one brow of woe,
    Yet so far hath discretion fought with nature
    That we with wisest sorrow think on him,
    Together with remembrance of ourselves.
    Therefore our sometime sister, now our queen,
    The imperial jointress to this warlike state,
    Have we, as 'twere with a defeated joy,--
    With an auspicious and a dropping eye,
    With mirth in funeral and with dirge in marriage,
    In equal scale weighing delight and dole,--
    Taken to wife: nor have we herein barr'd
    Your better wisdoms, which have freely gone
    With this affair along. For all, our thanks.
    Now follows, that you know, young Fortinbras,
    Holding a weak supposal of our worth,
    Or thinking by our late dear brother's death
    Our state to be disjoint and out of frame,
    Colleagued with the dream of his advantage,
    He hath not fail'd to pester us with message,
    Importing the surrender of those lands
    Lost by his father, with all bonds of law,
    To our most valiant brother. So much for him.
    Now for ourself and for this time of meeting:
    Thus much the business is: we have here writ
    To Norway, uncle of young Fortinbras,--
    Who, impotent and bed-rid, scarcely hears
    Of this his nephew's purpose,--to suppress
    His further gait herein; in that the levies,
    The lists and full proportions, are all made
    Out of his subject: and we here dispatch
    You, good Cornelius, and you, Voltimand,
    For bearers of this greeting to old Norway;
    Giving to you no further personal power
    To business with the king, more than the scope
    Of these delated articles allow.
    Farewell, and let your haste commend your duty.
    CORNELIUS VOLTIMAND
    In that and all things will we show our duty.
    KING CLAUDIUS
    We doubt it nothing: heartily farewell.
    Exeunt VOLTIMAND and CORNELIUS

    And now, Laertes, what's the news with you?
    You told us of some suit; what is't, Laertes?
    You cannot speak of reason to the Dane,
    And loose your voice: what wouldst thou beg, Laertes,
    That shall not be my offer, not thy asking?
    The head is not more native to the heart,
    The hand more instrumental to the mouth,
    Than is the throne of Denmark to thy father.
    What wouldst thou have, Laertes?
    LAERTES
    My dread lord,
    Your leave and favour to return to France;
    From whence though willingly I came to Denmark,
    To show my duty in your coronation,
    Yet now, I must confess, that duty done,
    My thoughts and wishes bend again toward France
    And bow them to your gracious leave and pardon.
    KING CLAUDIUS
    Have you your father's leave? What says Polonius?
    LORD POLONIUS
    He hath, my lord, wrung from me my slow leave
    By laboursome petition, and at last
    Upon his will I seal'd my hard consent:
    I do beseech you, give him leave to go.
    KING CLAUDIUS
    Take thy fair hour, Laertes; time be thine,
    And thy best graces spend it at thy will!
    But now, my cousin Hamlet, and my son,--
    HAMLET
    [Aside] A little more than kin, and less than kind.
    KING CLAUDIUS
    How is it that the clouds still hang on you?
    HAMLET
    Not so, my lord; I am too much i' the sun.
    QUEEN GERTRUDE
    Good Hamlet, cast thy nighted colour off,
    And let thine eye look like a friend on Denmark.
    Do not for ever with thy vailed lids
    Seek for thy noble father in the dust:
    Thou know'st 'tis common; all that lives must die,
    Passing through nature to eternity.
    HAMLET
    Ay, madam, it is common.
    QUEEN GERTRUDE
    If it be,
    Why seems it so particular with thee?
    HAMLET
    Seems, madam! nay it is; I know not 'seems.'
    'Tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother,
    Nor customary suits of solemn black,
    Nor windy suspiration of forced breath,
    No, nor the fruitful river in the eye,
    Nor the dejected 'havior of the visage,
    Together with all forms, moods, shapes of grief,
    That can denote me truly: these indeed seem,
    For they are actions that a man might play:
    But I have that within which passeth show;
    These but the trappings and the suits of woe.
    KING CLAUDIUS
    'Tis sweet and commendable in your nature, Hamlet,
    To give these mourning duties to your father:
    But, you must know, your father lost a father;
    That father lost, lost his, and the survivor bound
    In filial obligation for some term
    To do obsequious sorrow: but to persever
    In obstinate condolement is a course
    Of impious stubbornness; 'tis unmanly grief;
    It shows a will most incorrect to heaven,
    A heart unfortified, a mind impatient,
    An understanding simple and unschool'd:
    For what we know must be and is as common
    As any the most vulgar thing to sense,
    Why should we in our peevish opposition
    Take it to heart? Fie! 'tis a fault to heaven,
    A fault against the dead, a fault to nature,
    To reason most absurd: whose common theme
    Is death of fathers, and who still hath cried,
    From the first corse till he that died to-day,
    'This must be so.' We pray you, throw to earth
    This unprevailing woe, and think of us
    As of a father: for let the world take note,
    You are the most immediate to our throne;
    And with no less nobility of love
    Than that which dearest father bears his son,
    Do I impart toward you. For your intent
    In going back to school in Wittenberg,
    It is most retrograde to our desire:
    And we beseech you, bend you to remain
    Here, in the cheer and comfort of our eye,
    Our chiefest courtier, cousin, and our son.
    QUEEN GERTRUDE
    Let not thy mother lose her prayers, Hamlet:
    I pray thee, stay with us; go not to Wittenberg.
    HAMLET
    I shall in all my best obey you, madam.
    KING CLAUDIUS
    Why, 'tis a loving and a fair reply:
    Be as ourself in Denmark. Madam, come;
    This gentle and unforced accord of Hamlet
    Sits smiling to my heart: in grace whereof,
    No jocund health that Denmark drinks to-day,
    But the great cannon to the clouds shall tell,
    And the king's rouse the heavens all bruit again,
    Re-speaking earthly thunder. Come away.
    Exeunt all but HAMLET

    HAMLET
    O, that this too too solid flesh would melt
    Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!
    Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd
    His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! God!
    How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable,
    Seem to me all the uses of this world!
    Fie on't! ah fie! 'tis an unweeded garden,
    That grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature
    Possess it merely. That it should come to this!
    But two months dead: nay, not so much, not two:
    So excellent a king; that was, to this,
    Hyperion to a satyr; so loving to my mother
    That he might not beteem the winds of heaven
    Visit her face too roughly. Heaven and earth!
    Must I remember? why, she would hang on him,
    As if increase of appetite had grown
    By what it fed on: and yet, within a month--
    Let me not think on't--Frailty, thy name is woman!--
    A little month, or ere those shoes were old
    With which she follow'd my poor father's body,
    Like Niobe, all tears:--why she, even she--
    O, God! a beast, that wants discourse of reason,
    Would have mourn'd longer--married with my uncle,
    My father's brother, but no more like my father
    Than I to Hercules: within a month:
    Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears
    Had left the flushing in her galled eyes,
    She married. O, most wicked speed, to post
    With such dexterity to incestuous sheets!
    It is not nor it cannot come to good:
    But break, my heart; for I must hold my tongue.
    Enter HORATIO, MARCELLUS, and BERNARDO

    HORATIO
    Hail to your lordship!
    HAMLET
    I am glad to see you well:
    Horatio,--or I do forget myself.
    HORATIO
    The same, my lord, and your poor servant ever.
    HAMLET
    Sir, my good friend; I'll change that name with you:
    And what make you from Wittenberg, Horatio? Marcellus?
    MARCELLUS
    My good lord--
    HAMLET
    I am very glad to see you. Good even, sir.
    But what, in faith, make you from Wittenberg?
    HORATIO
    A truant disposition, good my lord.
    HAMLET

    SCENE I. Elsinore. A platform before the castle.

    FRANCISCO at his post. Enter to him BERNARDO
    BERNARDO
    Who's there?
    FRANCISCO
    Nay, answer me: stand, and unfold yourself.
    BERNARDO
    Long live the king!
    FRANCISCO
    Bernardo?
    BERNARDO
    He.
    FRANCISCO
    You come most carefully upon your hour.
    BERNARDO
    'Tis now struck twelve; get thee to bed, Francisco.
    FRANCISCO
    For this relief much thanks: 'tis bitter cold,
    And I am sick at heart.
    BERNARDO
    Have you had quiet guard?
    FRANCISCO
    Not a mouse stirring.
    BERNARDO
    Well, good night.
    If you do meet Horatio and Marcellus,
    The rivals of my watch, bid them make haste.
    FRANCISCO
    I think I hear them. Stand, ho! Who's there?
    Enter HORATIO and MARCELLUS

    HORATIO
    Friends to this ground.
    MARCELLUS
    And liegemen to the Dane.
    FRANCISCO
    Give you good night.
    MARCELLUS
    O, farewell, honest soldier:
    Who hath relieved you?
    FRANCISCO
    Bernardo has my place.
    Give you good night.
    Exit

    MARCELLUS
    Holla! Bernardo!
    BERNARDO
    Say,
    What, is Horatio there?
    HORATIO
    A piece of him.
    BERNARDO
    Welcome, Horatio: welcome, good Marcellus.
    MARCELLUS
    What, has this thing appear'd again to-night?
    BERNARDO
    I have seen nothing.
    MARCELLUS
    Horatio says 'tis but our fantasy,
    And will not let belief take hold of him
    Touching this dreaded sight, twice seen of us:
    Therefore I have entreated him along
    With us to watch the minutes of this night;
    That if again this apparition come,
    He may approve our eyes and speak to it.
    HORATIO
    Tush, tush, 'twill not appear.
    BERNARDO
    Sit down awhile;
    And let us once again assail your ears,
    That are so fortified against our story
    What we have two nights seen.
    HORATIO
    Well, sit we down,
    And let us hear Bernardo speak of this.
    BERNARDO
    Last night of all,
    When yond same star that's westward from the pole
    Had made his course to illume that part of heaven
    Where now it burns, Marcellus and myself,
    The bell then beating one,--
    Enter Ghost

    MARCELLUS
    Peace, break thee off; look, where it comes again!
    BERNARDO
    In the same figure, like the king that's dead.
    MARCELLUS
    Thou art a scholar; speak to it, Horatio.
    BERNARDO
    Looks it not like the king? mark it, Horatio.
    HORATIO
    Most like: it harrows me with fear and wonder.
    BERNARDO
    It would be spoke to.
    MARCELLUS
    Question it, Horatio.
    HORATIO
    What art thou that usurp'st this time of night,
    Together with that fair and warlike form
    In which the majesty of buried Denmark
    Did sometimes march? by heaven I charge thee, speak!
    MARCELLUS
    It is offended.
    BERNARDO
    See, it stalks away!
    HORATIO
    Stay! speak, speak! I charge thee, speak!
    Exit Ghost

    MARCELLUS
    'Tis gone, and will not answer.
    BERNARDO
    How now, Horatio! you tremble and look pale:
    Is not this something more than fantasy?
    What think you on't?
    HORATIO
    Before my God, I might not this believe
    Without the sensible and true avouch
    Of mine own eyes.
    MARCELLUS
    Is it not like the king?
    HORATIO
    As thou art to thyself:
    Such was the very armour he had on
    When he the ambitious Norway combated;
    So frown'd he once, when, in an angry parle,
    He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice.
    'Tis strange.
    MARCELLUS
    Thus twice before, and jump at this dead hour,
    With martial stalk hath he gone by our watch.
    HORATIO
    In what particular thought to work I know not;
    But in the gross and scope of my opinion,
    This bodes some strange eruption to our state.
    MARCELLUS
    Good now, sit down, and tell me, he that knows,
    Why this same strict and most observant watch
    So nightly toils the subject of the land,
    And why such daily cast of brazen cannon,
    And foreign mart for implements of war;
    Why such impress of shipwrights, whose sore task
    Does not divide the Sunday from the week;
    What might be toward, that this sweaty haste
    Doth make the night joint-labourer with the day:
    Who is't that can inform me?
    HORATIO
    That can I;
    At least, the whisper goes so. Our last king,
    Whose image even but now appear'd to us,
    Was, as you know, by Fortinbras of Norway,
    Thereto prick'd on by a most emulate pride,
    Dared to the combat; in which our valiant Hamlet--
    For so this side of our known world esteem'd him--
    Did slay this Fortinbras; who by a seal'd compact,
    Well ratified by law and heraldry,
    Did forfeit, with his life, all those his lands
    Which he stood seized of, to the conqueror:
    Against the which, a moiety competent
    Was gaged by our king; which had return'd
    To the inheritance of Fortinbras,
    Had he been vanquisher; as, by the same covenant,
    And carriage of the article design'd,
    His fell to Hamlet. Now, sir, young Fortinbras,
    Of unimproved mettle hot and full,
    Hath in the skirts of Norway here and there
    Shark'd up a list of lawless resolutes,
    For food and diet, to some enterprise
    That hath a stomach in't; which is no other--
    As it doth well appear unto our state--
    But to recover of us, by strong hand
    And terms compulsatory, those foresaid lands
    So by his father lost: and this, I take it,
    Is the main motive of our preparations,
    The source of this our watch and the chief head
    Of this post-haste and romage in the land.
    BERNARDO
    I think it be no other but e'en so:
    Well may it sort that this portentous figure
    Comes armed through our watch; so like the king
    That was and is the question of these wars.
    HORATIO
    A mote it is to trouble the mind's eye.
    In the most high and palmy state of Rome,
    A little ere the mightiest Julius fell,
    The graves stood tenantless and the sheeted dead
    Did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets:
    As stars with trains of fire and dews of blood,
    Disasters in the sun; and the moist star
    Upon whose influence Neptune's empire stands
    Was sick almost to doomsday with eclipse:
    And even the like precurse of fierce events,
    As harbingers preceding still the fates
    And prologue to the omen coming on,
    Have heaven and earth together demonstrated
    Unto our climatures and countrymen.--
    But soft, behold! lo, where it comes again!
    Re-enter Ghost

    I'll cross it, though it blast me. Stay, illusion!
    If thou hast any sound, or use of voice,
    Speak to me:
    If there be any good thing to be done,
    That may to thee do ease and grace to me,
    Speak to me:
    Cock crows

    If thou art privy to thy country's fate,
    Which, happily, foreknowing may avoid, O, speak!
    Or if thou hast uphoarded in thy life
    Extorted treasure in the womb of earth,
    For which, they say, you spirits oft walk in death,
    Speak of it: stay, and speak! Stop it, Marcellus.
    MARCELLUS
    Shall I strike at it with my partisan?
    HORATIO
    Do, if it will not stand.
    BERNARDO
    'Tis here!
    HORATIO
    'Tis here!
    MARCELLUS
    'Tis gone!
    Exit Ghost

    We do it wrong, being so majestical,
    To offer it the show of violence;
    For it is, as the air, invulnerable,
    And our vain blows malicious mockery.
    BERNARDO
    It was about to speak, when the cock crew.
    HORATIO
    And then it started like a guilty thing
    Upon a fearful summons. I have heard,
    The cock, that is the trumpet to the morn,
    Doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat
    Awake the god of day; and, at his warning,
    Whether in sea or fire, in earth or air,
    The extravagant and erring spirit hies
    To his confine: and of the truth herein
    This present object made probation.
    MARCELLUS
    It faded on the crowing of the cock.
    Some say that ever 'gainst that season comes
    Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated,
    The bird of dawning singeth all night long:
    And then, they say, no spirit dares stir abroad;
    The nights are wholesome; then no planets strike,
    No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm,
    So hallow'd and so gracious is the time.
    HORATIO
    So have I heard and do in part believe it.
    But, look, the morn, in russet mantle clad,
    Walks o'er the dew of yon high eastward hill:
    Break we our watch up; and by my advice,
    Let us impart what we have seen to-night
    Unto young Hamlet; for, upon my life,
    This spirit, dumb to us, will speak to him.
    Do you consent we shall acquaint him with it,
    As needful in our loves,

    How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
    Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb

    Frozen inside without your touch
    Without your love, darling
    Only you are the life among the dead

    All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
    Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
    I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
    Got to open my eyes to everything
    Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
    Don't let me die here
    There must be something more
    Bring me to life
