  35. Elsinore. A platform before the castle.
  36. FRANCISCO at his post. Enter to him BERNARDO
  37. BERNARDO
  38. Who's there?
  39. FRANCISCO
  40. Nay, answer me: stand, and unfold yourself.
  41. BERNARDO
  42. Long live the king!
  43. FRANCISCO
  44. Bernardo?
  45. BERNARDO
  46. He.
  47. FRANCISCO
  48. You come most carefully upon your hour.
  49. BERNARDO
  50. 'Tis now struck twelve; get thee to bed, Francisco.
  51. FRANCISCO
  52. For this relief much thanks: 'tis bitter cold,
  53. And I am sick at heart.
  54. BERNARDO
  55. Have you had quiet guard?
  56. FRANCISCO
  57. Not a mouse stirring.
  58. BERNARDO
  59. Well, good night.
  60. If you do meet Horatio and Marcellus,
  61. The rivals of my watch, bid them make haste.
  62. FRANCISCO
  63. I think I hear them. Stand, ho! Who's there?
  64. Enter HORATIO and MARCELLUS
  65. HORATIO
  66. Friends to this ground.
  67. MARCELLUS
  68. And liegemen to the Dane.
  69. FRANCISCO
  70. Give you good night.
  71. MARCELLUS
  72. O, farewell, honest soldier:
  73. Who hath relieved you?
  74. FRANCISCO
  75. Bernardo has my place.
  76. Give you good night.
  77. Exit
  78. MARCELLUS
  79. Holla! Bernardo!
  80. BERNARDO
  81. Say,
  82. What, is Horatio there?
  83. HORATIO
  84. A piece of him.
  85. BERNARDO
  86. Welcome, Horatio: welcome, good Marcellus.
  87. MARCELLUS
  88. What, has this thing appear'd again to-night?
  89. BERNARDO
  90. I have seen nothing.
  91. MARCELLUS
  92. Horatio says 'tis but our fantasy,
  93. And will not let belief take hold of him
  94. Touching this dreaded sight, twice seen of us:
  95. Therefore I have entreated him along
  96. With us to watch the minutes of this night;
  97. That if again this apparition come,
  98. He may approve our eyes and speak to it.
  99. HORATIO
  100. Tush, tush, 'twill not appear.
  101. BERNARDO
  102. Sit down awhile;
  103. And let us once again assail your ears,
  104. That are so fortified against our story
  105. What we have two nights seen.
  106. HORATIO
  107. Well, sit we down,
  108. And let us hear Bernardo speak of this.
  109. BERNARDO
  110. Last night of all,
  111. When yond same star that's westward from the pole
  112. Had made his course to illume that part of heaven
  113. Where now it burns, Marcellus and myself,
  114. The bell then beating one,--
  115. Enter Ghost
  116. MARCELLUS
  117. Peace, break thee off; look, where it comes again!
  118. BERNARDO
  119. In the same figure, like the king that's dead.
  120. MARCELLUS
  121. Thou art a scholar; speak to it, Horatio.
  122. BERNARDO
  123. Looks it not like the king? mark it, Horatio.
  124. HORATIO
  125. Most like: it harrows me with fear and wonder.
  126. BERNARDO
  127. It would be spoke to.
  128. MARCELLUS
  129. Question it, Horatio.
  130. HORATIO
  131. What art thou that usurp'st this time of night,
  132. Together with that fair and warlike form
  133. In which the majesty of buried Denmark
  134. Did sometimes march? by heaven I charge thee, speak!
  135. MARCELLUS
  136. It is offended.
  137. BERNARDO
  138. See, it stalks away!
  139. HORATIO
  140. Stay! speak, speak! I charge thee, speak!
  141. Exit Ghost
  142. MARCELLUS
  143. 'Tis gone, and will not answer.
  144. BERNARDO
  145. How now, Horatio! you tremble and look pale:
  146. Is not this something more than fantasy?
  147. What think you on't?
  148. HORATIO
  149. Before my God, I might not this believe
  150. Without the sensible and true avouch
  151. Of mine own eyes.
  152. MARCELLUS
  153. Is it not like the king?
  154. HORATIO
  155. As thou art to thyself:
  156. Such was the very armour he had on
  157. When he the ambitious Norway combated;
  158. So frown'd he once, when, in an angry parle,
  159. He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice.
  160. 'Tis strange.
  161. MARCELLUS
  162. Thus twice before, and jump at this dead hour,
  163. With martial stalk hath he gone by our watch.
  164. HORATIO
  165. In what particular thought to work I know not;
  166. But in the gross and scope of my opinion,
  167. This bodes some strange eruption to our state.
  168. MARCELLUS
  169. Good now, sit down, and tell me, he that knows,
  170. Why this same strict and most observant watch
  171. So nightly toils the subject of the land,
  172. And why such daily cast of brazen cannon,
  173. And foreign mart for implements of war;
  174. Why such impress of shipwrights, whose sore task
  175. Does not divide the Sunday from the week;
  176. What might be toward, that this sweaty haste
  177. Doth make the night joint-labourer with the day:
  178. Who is't that can inform me?
  179. HORATIO
  180. That can I;
  181. At least, the whisper goes so. Our last king,
  182. Whose image even but now appear'd to us,
  183. Was, as you know, by Fortinbras of Norway,
  184. Thereto prick'd on by a most emulate pride,
  185. Dared to the combat; in which our valiant Hamlet--
  186. For so this side of our known world esteem'd him--
  187. Did slay this Fortinbras; who by a seal'd compact,
  188. Well ratified by law and heraldry,
  189. Did forfeit, with his life, all those his lands
  190. Which he stood seized of, to the conqueror:
  191. Against the which, a moiety competent
  192. Was gaged by our king; which had return'd
  193. To the inheritance of Fortinbras,
  194. Had he been vanquisher; as, by the same covenant,
  195. And carriage of the article design'd,
  196. His fell to Hamlet. Now, sir, young Fortinbras,
  197. Of unimproved mettle hot and full,
  198. Hath in the skirts of Norway here and there
  199. Shark'd up a list of lawless resolutes,
  200. For food and diet, to some enterprise
  201. That hath a stomach in't; which is no other--
  202. As it doth well appear unto our state--
  203. But to recover of us, by strong hand
  204. And terms compulsatory, those foresaid lands
  205. So by his father lost: and this, I take it,
  206. Is the main motive of our preparations,
  207. The source of this our watch and the chief head
  208. Of this post-haste and romage in the land.
  209. BERNARDO
  210. I think it be no other but e'en so:
  211. Well may it sort that this portentous figure
  212. Comes armed through our watch; so like the king
  213. That was and is the question of these wars.
  214. HORATIO
  215. A mote it is to trouble the mind's eye.
  216. In the most high and palmy state of Rome,
  217. A little ere the mightiest Julius fell,
  218. The graves stood tenantless and the sheeted dead
  219. Did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets:
  220. As stars with trains of fire and dews of blood,
  221. Disasters in the sun; and the moist star
  222. Upon whose influence Neptune's empire stands
  223. Was sick almost to doomsday with eclipse:
  224. And even the like precurse of fierce events,
  225. As harbingers preceding still the fates
  226. And prologue to the omen coming on,
  227. Have heaven and earth together demonstrated
  228. Unto our climatures and countrymen.--
  229. But soft, behold! lo, where it comes again!
  230. Re-enter Ghost
  231. I'll cross it, though it blast me. Stay, illusion!
  232. If thou hast any sound, or use of voice,
  233. Speak to me:
  234. If there be any good thing to be done,
  235. That may to thee do ease and grace to me,
  236. Speak to me:
  237. Cock crows
  238. If thou art privy to thy country's fate,
  239. Which, happily, foreknowing may avoid, O, speak!
  240. Or if thou hast uphoarded in thy life
  241. Extorted treasure in the womb of earth,
  242. For which, they say, you spirits oft walk in death,
  243. Speak of it: stay, and speak! Stop it, Marcellus.
  244. MARCELLUS
  245. Shall I strike at it with my partisan?
  246. HORATIO
  247. Do, if it will not stand.
  248. BERNARDO
  249. 'Tis here!
  250. HORATIO
  251. 'Tis here!
  252. MARCELLUS
  253. 'Tis gone!
  254. Exit Ghost
  255. We do it wrong, being so majestical,
  256. To offer it the show of violence;
  257. For it is, as the air, invulnerable,
  258. And our vain blows malicious mockery.
  259. BERNARDO
  260. It was about to speak, when the cock crew.
  261. HORATIO
  262. And then it started like a guilty thing
  263. Upon a fearful summons. I have heard,
  264. The cock, that is the trumpet to the morn,
  265. Doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat
  266. Awake the god of day; and, at his warning,
  267. Whether in sea or fire, in earth or air,
  268. The extravagant and erring spirit hies
  269. To his confine: and of the truth herein
  270. This present object made probation.
  271. MARCELLUS
  272. It faded on the crowing of the cock.
  273. Some say that ever 'gainst that season comes
  274. Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated,
  275. The bird of dawning singeth all night long:
  276. And then, they say, no spirit dares stir abroad;
  277. The nights are wholesome; then no planets strike,
  278. No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm,
  279. So hallow'd and so gracious is the time.
  280. HORATIO
  281. So have I heard and do in part believe it.
  282. But, look, the morn, in russet mantle clad,
  283. Walks o'er the dew of yon high eastward hill:
  284. Break we our watch up; and by my advice,
  285. Let us impart what we have seen to-night
  286. Unto young Hamlet; for, upon my life,
  287. This spirit, dumb to us, will speak to him.
  288. Do you consent we shall acquaint him with it,
  289. As needful in our loves, fitting our duty?
  290. MARCELLUS
  291. Let's do't, I pray; and I this morning know
  292. Where we shall find him most conveniently.
  293. Exeunt

  295. <li id="chapter2" class="list-group-item chapter-thumbnail">SCENE II.
  296. A room of state in the castle.
  297. Enter KING CLAUDIUS, QUEEN GERTRUDE, HAMLET,
  298. POLONIUS, LAERTES, VOLTIMAND,
  299. CORNELIUS, Lords, and Attendants
  300. KING CLAUDIUS
  301. Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death
  302. The memory be green, and that it us befitted
  303. To bear our hearts in grief and our whole kingdom
  304. To be contracted in one brow of woe,
  305. Yet so far hath discretion fought with nature
  306. That we with wisest sorrow think on him,
  307. Together with remembrance of ourselves.
  308. Therefore our sometime sister, now our queen,
  309. The imperial jointress to this warlike state,
  310. Have we, as 'twere with a defeated joy,--
  311. With an auspicious and a dropping eye,
  312. With mirth in funeral and with dirge in marriage,
  313. In equal scale weighing delight and dole,--
  314. Taken to wife: nor have we herein barr'd
  315. Your better wisdoms, which have freely gone
  316. With this affair along. For all, our thanks.
  317. Now follows, that you know, young Fortinbras,
  318. Holding a weak supposal of our worth,
  319. Or thinking by our late dear brother's death
  320. Our state to be disjoint and out of frame,
  321. Colleagued with the dream of his advantage,
  322. He hath not fail'd to pester us with message,
  323. Importing the surrender of those lands
  324. Lost by his father, with all bonds of law,
  325. To our most valiant brother. So much for him.
  326. Now for ourself and for this time of meeting:
  327. Thus much the business is: we have here writ
  328. To Norway, uncle of young Fortinbras,--
  329. Who, impotent and bed-rid, scarcely hears
  330. Of this his nephew's purpose,--to suppress
  331. His further gait herein; in that the levies,
  332. The lists and full proportions, are all made
  333. Out of his subject: and we here dispatch
  334. You, good Cornelius, and you, Voltimand,
  335. For bearers of this greeting to old Norway;
  336. Giving to you no further personal power
  337. To business with the king, more than the scope
  338. Of these delated articles allow.
  339. Farewell, and let your haste commend your duty.
  340. CORNELIUS VOLTIMAND
  341. In that and all things will we show our duty.
  342. KING CLAUDIUS
  343. We doubt it nothing: heartily farewell.
  344. Exeunt VOLTIMAND and CORNELIUS
  345. And now, Laertes, what's the news with you?
  346. You told us of some suit; what is't, Laertes?
  347. You cannot speak of reason to the Dane,
  348. And loose your voice: what wouldst thou beg, Laertes,
  349. That shall not be my offer, not thy asking?
  350. The head is not more native to the heart,
  351. The hand more instrumental to the mouth,
  352. Than is the throne of Denmark to thy father.
  353. What wouldst thou have, Laertes?
  354. LAERTES
  355. My dread lord,
  356. Your leave and favour to return to France;
  357. From whence though willingly I came to Denmark,
  358. To show my duty in your coronation,
  359. Yet now, I must confess, that duty done,
  360. My thoughts and wishes bend again toward France
  361. And bow them to your gracious leave and pardon.
  362. KING CLAUDIUS
  363. Have you your father's leave? What says Polonius?
  364. LORD POLONIUS
  365. He hath, my lord, wrung from me my slow leave
  366. By laboursome petition, and at last
  367. Upon his will I seal'd my hard consent:
  368. I do beseech you, give him leave to go.
  369. KING CLAUDIUS
  370. Take thy fair hour, Laertes; time be thine,
  371. And thy best graces spend it at thy will!
  372. But now, my cousin Hamlet, and my son,--
  373. HAMLET
  374. [Aside] A little more than kin, and less than kind.
  375. KING CLAUDIUS
  376. How is it that the clouds still hang on you?
  377. HAMLET
  378. Not so, my lord; I am too much i' the sun.
  379. QUEEN GERTRUDE
  380. Good Hamlet, cast thy nighted colour off,
  381. And let thine eye look like a friend on Denmark.
  382. Do not for ever with thy vailed lids
  383. Seek for thy noble father in the dust:
  384. Thou know'st 'tis common; all that lives must die,
  385. Passing through nature to eternity.
  386. HAMLET
  387. Ay, madam, it is common.
  388. QUEEN GERTRUDE
  389. If it be,
  390. Why seems it so particular with thee?
  391. HAMLET
  392. Seems, madam! nay it is; I know not 'seems.'
  393. 'Tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother,
  394. Nor customary suits of solemn black,
  395. Nor windy suspiration of forced breath,
  396. No, nor the fruitful river in the eye,
  397. Nor the dejected 'havior of the visage,
  398. Together with all forms, moods, shapes of grief,
  399. That can denote me truly: these indeed seem,
  400. For they are actions that a man might play:
  401. But I have that within which passeth show;
  402. These but the trappings and the suits of woe.
  403. KING CLAUDIUS
  404. 'Tis sweet and commendable in your nature, Hamlet,
  405. To give these mourning duties to your father:
  406. But, you must know, your father lost a father;
  407. That father lost, lost his, and the survivor bound
  408. In filial obligation for some term
  409. To do obsequious sorrow: but to persever
  410. In obstinate condolement is a course
  411. Of impious stubbornness; 'tis unmanly grief;
  412. It shows a will most incorrect to heaven,
  413. A heart unfortified, a mind impatient,
  414. An understanding simple and unschool'd:
  415. For what we know must be and is as common
  416. As any the most vulgar thing to sense,
  417. Why should we in our peevish opposition
  418. Take it to heart? Fie! 'tis a fault to heaven,
  419. A fault against the dead, a fault to nature,
  420. To reason most absurd: whose common theme
  421. Is death of fathers, and who still hath cried,
  422. From the first corse till he that died to-day,
  423. 'This must be so.' We pray you, throw to earth
  424. This unprevailing woe, and think of us
  425. As of a father: for let the world take note,
  426. You are the most immediate to our throne;
  427. And with no less nobility of love
  428. Than that which dearest father bears his son,
  429. Do I impart toward you. For your intent
  430. In going back to school in Wittenberg,
  431. It is most retrograde to our desire:
  432. And we beseech you, bend you to remain
  433. Here, in the cheer and comfort of our eye,
  434. Our chiefest courtier, cousin, and our son.
  435. QUEEN GERTRUDE
  436. Let not thy mother lose her prayers, Hamlet:
  437. I pray thee, stay with us; go not to Wittenberg.
  438. HAMLET
  439. I shall in all my best obey you, madam.
  440. KING CLAUDIUS
  441. Why, 'tis a loving and a fair reply:
  442. Be as ourself in Denmark. Madam, come;
  443. This gentle and unforced accord of Hamlet
  444. Sits smiling to my heart: in grace whereof,
  445. No jocund health that Denmark drinks to-day,
  446. But the great cannon to the clouds shall tell,
  447. And the king's rouse the heavens all bruit again,
  448. Re-speaking earthly thunder. Come away.
  449. Exeunt all but HAMLET
  450. HAMLET
  451. O, that this too too solid flesh would melt
  452. Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!
  453. Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd
  454. His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! God!
  455. How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable,
  456. Seem to me all the uses of this world!
  457. Fie on't! ah fie! 'tis an unweeded garden,
  458. That grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature
  459. Possess it merely. That it should come to this!
  460. But two months dead: nay, not so much, not two:
  461. So excellent a king; that was, to this,
  462. Hyperion to a satyr; so loving to my mother
  463. That he might not beteem the winds of heaven
  464. Visit her face too roughly. Heaven and earth!
  465. Must I remember? why, she would hang on him,
  466. As if increase of appetite had grown
  467. By what it fed on: and yet, within a month--
  468. Let me not think on't--Frailty, thy name is woman!--
  469. A little month, or ere those shoes were old
  470. With which she follow'd my poor father's body,
  471. Like Niobe, all tears:--why she, even she--
  472. O, God! a beast, that wants discourse of reason,
  473. Would have mourn'd longer--married with my uncle,
  474. My father's brother, but no more like my father
  475. Than I to Hercules: within a month:
  476. Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears
  477. Had left the flushing in her galled eyes,
  478. She married. O, most wicked speed, to post
  479. With such dexterity to incestuous sheets!
  480. It is not nor it cannot come to good:
  481. But break, my heart; for I must hold my tongue.
  482. Enter HORATIO, MARCELLUS, and BERNARDO
  483. HORATIO
  484. Hail to your lordship!
  485. HAMLET
  486. I am glad to see you well:
  487. Horatio,--or I do forget myself.
  488. HORATIO
  489. The same, my lord, and your poor servant ever.
  490. HAMLET
  491. Sir, my good friend; I'll change that name with you:
  492. And what make you from Wittenberg, Horatio? Marcellus?
  493. MARCELLUS
  494. My good lord--
  495. HAMLET
  496. I am very glad to see you. Good even, sir.
  497. But what, in faith, make you from Wittenberg?
  498. HORATIO
  499. A truant disposition, good my lord.
  500. HAMLET
  501. I would not hear your enemy say so,
  502. Nor shall you do mine ear that violence,
  503. To make it truster of your own report
  504. Against yourself: I know you are no truant.
  505. But what is your affair in Elsinore?
  506. We'll teach you to drink deep ere you depart.
  507. HORATIO
  508. My lord, I came to see your father's funeral.
  509. HAMLET
  510. I pray thee, do not mock me, fellow-student;
  511. I think it was to see my mother's wedding.
  512. HORATIO
  513. Indeed, my lord, it follow'd hard upon.
  514. HAMLET
  515. Thrift, thrift, Horatio! the funeral baked meats
  516. Did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables.
  517. Would I had met my dearest foe in heaven
  518. Or ever I had seen that day, Horatio!
  519. My father!--methinks I see my father.
  520. HORATIO
  521. Where, my lord?
  522. HAMLET
  523. In my mind's eye, Horatio.
  524. HORATIO
  525. I saw him once; he was a goodly king.
  526. HAMLET
  527. He was a man, take him for all in all,
  528. I shall not look upon his like again.
  529. HORATIO
  530. My lord, I think I saw him yesternight.
  531. HAMLET
  532. Saw? who?
  533. HORATIO
  534. My lord, the king your father.
  535. HAMLET
  536. The king my father!
  537. HORATIO
  538. Season your admiration for awhile
  539. With an attent ear, till I may deliver,
  540. Upon the witness of these gentlemen,
  541. This marvel to you.
  542. HAMLET
  543. For God's love, let me hear.
  544. HORATIO
  545. Two nights together had these gentlemen,
  546. Marcellus and Bernardo, on their watch,
  547. In the dead vast and middle of the night,
  548. Been thus encounter'd. A figure like your father,
  549. Armed at point exactly, cap-a-pe,
  550. Appears before them, and with solemn march
  551. Goes slow and stately by them: thrice he walk'd
  552. By their oppress'd and fear-surprised eyes,
  553. Within his truncheon's length; whilst they, distilled
  554. Almost to jelly with the act of fear,
  555. Stand dumb and speak not to him. This to me
  556. In dreadful secrecy impart they did;
  557. And I with them the third night kept the watch;
  558. Where, as they had deliver'd, both in time,
  559. Form of the thing, each word made true and good,
  560. The apparition comes: I knew your father;
  561. These hands are not more like.
  562. HAMLET
  563. But where was this?
  564. MARCELLUS
  565. My lord, upon the platform where we watch'd.
  566. HAMLET
  567. Did you not speak to it?
  568. HORATIO
  569. My lord, I did;
  570. But answer made it none: yet once methought
  571. It lifted up its head and did address
  572. Itself to motion, like as it would speak;
  573. But even then the morning cock crew loud,
  574. And at the sound it shrunk in haste away,
  575. And vanish'd from our sight.
  576. HAMLET
  577. 'Tis very strange.
  578. HORATIO
  579. As I do live, my honour'd lord, 'tis true;
  580. And we did think it writ down in our duty
  581. To let you know of it.
  582. HAMLET
  583. Indeed, indeed, sirs, but this troubles me.
  584. Hold you the watch to-night?
  585. MARCELLUS BERNARDO
  586. We do, my lord.
  587. HAMLET
  588. Arm'd, say you?
  589. MARCELLUS BERNARDO
  590. Arm'd, my lord.
  591. HAMLET
  592. From top to toe?
  593. MARCELLUS BERNARDO
  594. My lord, from head to foot.
  595. HAMLET
  596. Then saw you not his face?
  597. HORATIO
  598. O, yes, my lord; he wore his beaver up.
  599. HAMLET
  600. What, look'd he frowningly?
  601. HORATIO
  602. A countenance more in sorrow than in anger.
  603. HAMLET
  604. Pale or red?
  605. HORATIO
  606. Nay, very pale.
  607. HAMLET
  608. And fix'd his eyes upon you?
  609. HORATIO
  610. Most constantly.
  611. HAMLET
  612. I would I had been there.
  613. HORATIO
  614. It would have much amazed you.
  615. HAMLET
  616. Very like, very like. Stay'd it long?
  617. HORATIO
  618. While one with moderate haste might tell a hundred.
  619. MARCELLUS BERNARDO
  620. Longer, longer.
  621. HORATIO
  622. Not when I saw't.
  623. HAMLET
  624. His beard was grizzled--no?
  625. HORATIO
  626. It was, as I have seen it in his life,
  627. A sable silver'd.
  628. HAMLET
  629. I will watch to-night;
  630. Perchance 'twill walk again.
  631. HORATIO
  632. I warrant it will.
  633. HAMLET
  634. If it assume my noble father's person,
  635. I'll speak to it, though hell itself should gape
  636. And bid me hold my peace. I pray you all,
  637. If you have hitherto conceal'd this sight,
  638. Let it be tenable in your silence still;
  639. And whatsoever else shall hap to-night,
  640. Give it an understanding, but no tongue:
  641. I will requite your loves. So, fare you well:
  642. Upon the platform, 'twixt eleven and twelve,
  643. I'll visit you.
  644. All
  645. Our duty to your honour.
  646. HAMLET
  647. Your loves, as mine to you: farewell.
  648. Exeunt all but HAMLET
  649. My father's spirit in arms! all is not well;
  650. I doubt some foul play: would the night were come!
  651. Till then sit still, my soul: foul deeds will rise,
  652. Though all the earth o'erwhelm them, to men's eyes.
  653. Exit
  654. </li>
  655. <li id="chapter3" class="list-group-item chapter-thumbnail">SCENE III.
  656. A room in Polonius' house.
  657. Enter LAERTES and OPHELIA
  658. LAERTES
  659. My necessaries are embark'd: farewell:
  660. And, sister, as the winds give benefit
  661. And convoy is assistant, do not sleep,
  662. But let me hear from you.
  663. OPHELIA
  664. Do you doubt that?
  665. LAERTES
  666. For Hamlet and the trifling of his favour,
  667. Hold it a fashion and a toy in blood,
  668. A violet in the youth of primy nature,
  669. Forward, not permanent, sweet, not lasting,
  670. The perfume and suppliance of a minute; No more.
  671. OPHELIA
  672. No more but so?
  673. LAERTES
  674. Think it no more;
  675. For nature, crescent, does not grow alone
  676. In thews and bulk, but, as this temple waxes,
  677. The inward service of the mind and soul
  678. Grows wide withal. Perhaps he loves you now,
  679. And now no soil nor cautel doth besmirch
  680. The virtue of his will: but you must fear,
  681. His greatness weigh'd, his will is not his own;
  682. For he himself is subject to his birth:
  683. He may not, as unvalued persons do,
  684. Carve for himself; for on his choice depends
  685. The safety and health of this whole state;
  686. And therefore must his choice be circumscribed
  687. Unto the voice and yielding of that body
  688. Whereof he is the head. Then if he says he loves you,
  689. It fits your wisdom so far to believe it
  690. As he in his particular act and place
  691. May give his saying deed; which is no further
  692. Than the main voice of Denmark goes withal.
  693. Then weigh what loss your honour may sustain,
  694. If with too credent ear you list his songs,
  695. Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
  696. To his unmaster'd importunity.
  697. Fear it, Ophelia, fear it, my dear sister,
  698. And keep you in the rear of your affection,
  699. Out of the shot and danger of desire.
  700. The chariest maid is prodigal enough,
  701. If she unmask her beauty to the moon:
  702. Virtue itself 'scapes not calumnious strokes:
  703. The canker galls the infants of the spring,
  704. Too oft before their buttons be disclosed,
  705. And in the morn and liquid dew of youth
  706. Contagious blastments are most imminent.
  707. Be wary then; best safety lies in fear:
  708. Youth to itself rebels, though none else near.
  709. OPHELIA
  710. I shall the effect of this good lesson keep,
  711. As watchman to my heart. But, good my brother,
  712. Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
  713. Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven;
  714. Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine,
  715. Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads,
  716. And recks not his own rede.
  717. LAERTES
  718. O, fear me not.
  719. I stay too long: but here my father comes.
  720. Enter POLONIUS
  721. A double blessing is a double grace,
  722. Occasion smiles upon a second leave.
  723. LORD POLONIUS
  724. Yet here, Laertes! aboard, aboard, for shame!
  725. The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail,
  726. And you are stay'd for. There; my blessing with thee!
  727. And these few precepts in thy memory
  728. See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
  729. Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
  730. Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
  731. Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
  732. Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
  733. But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
  734. Of each new-hatch'd, unfledged comrade. Beware
  735. Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
  736. Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee.
  737. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
  738. Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
  739. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
  740. But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
  741. For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
  742. And they in France of the best rank and station
  743. Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
  744. Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
  745. For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
  746. And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
  747. This above all: to thine ownself be true,
  748. And it must follow, as the night the day,
  749. Thou canst not then be false to any man.
  750. Farewell: my blessing season this in thee!
  751. LAERTES
  752. Most humbly do I take my leave, my lord.
  753. LORD POLONIUS
  754. The time invites you; go; your servants tend.
  755. LAERTES
  756. Farewell, Ophelia; and remember well
  757. What I have said to you.
  758. OPHELIA
  759. 'Tis in my memory lock'd,
  760. And you yourself shall keep the key of it.
  761. LAERTES
  762. Farewell.
  763. Exit
  764. LORD POLONIUS
  765. What is't, Ophelia, be hath said to you?
  766. OPHELIA
  767. So please you, something touching the Lord Hamlet.
  768. LORD POLONIUS
  769. Marry, well bethought:
  770. 'Tis told me, he hath very oft of late
  771. Given private time to you; and you yourself
  772. Have of your audience been most free and bounteous:
  773. If it be so, as so 'tis put on me,
  774. And that in way of caution, I must tell you,
  775. You do not understand yourself so clearly
  776. As it behoves my daughter and your honour.
  777. What is between you? give me up the truth.
  778. OPHELIA
  779. He hath, my lord, of late made many tenders
  780. Of his affection to me.
  781. LORD POLONIUS
  782. Affection! pooh! you speak like a green girl,
  783. Unsifted in such perilous circumstance.
  784. Do you believe his tenders, as you call them?
  785. OPHELIA
  786. I do not know, my lord, what I should think.
  787. LORD POLONIUS
  788. Marry, I'll teach you: think yourself a baby;
  789. That you have ta'en these tenders for true pay,
  790. Which are not sterling. Tender yourself more dearly;
  791. Or--not to crack the wind of the poor phrase,
  792. Running it thus--you'll tender me a fool.
  793. OPHELIA
  794. My lord, he hath importuned me with love
  795. In honourable fashion.
  796. LORD POLONIUS
  797. Ay, fashion you may call it; go to, go to.
  798. OPHELIA
  799. And hath given countenance to his speech, my lord,
  800. With almost all the holy vows of heaven.
  801. LORD POLONIUS
  802. Ay, springes to catch woodcocks. I do know,
  803. When the blood burns, how prodigal the soul
  804. Lends the tongue vows: these blazes, daughter,
  805. Giving more light than heat, extinct in both,
  806. Even in their promise, as it is a-making,
  807. You must not take for fire. From this time
  808. Be somewhat scanter of your maiden presence;
  809. Set your entreatments at a higher rate
  810. Than a command to parley. For Lord Hamlet,
  811. Believe so much in him, that he is young
  812. And with a larger tether may he walk
  813. Than may be given you: in few, Ophelia,
  814. Do not believe his vows; for they are brokers,
  815. Not of that dye which their investments show,
  816. But mere implorators of unholy suits,
  817. Breathing like sanctified and pious bawds,
  818. The better to beguile. This is for all:
  819. I would not, in plain terms, from this time forth,
  820. Have you so slander any moment leisure,
  821. As to give words or talk with the Lord Hamlet.
  822. Look to't, I charge you: come your ways.
  823. OPHELIA
  824. I shall obey, my lord.
  825. Exeunt

  827. <li id="chapter4" class="list-group-item chapter-thumbnail">SCENE IV.
  828. The platform.
  829. Enter HAMLET, HORATIO, and MARCELLUS
  830. HAMLET
  831. The air bites shrewdly; it is very cold.
  832. HORATIO
  833. It is a nipping and an eager air.
  834. HAMLET
  835. What hour now?
  836. HORATIO
  837. I think it lacks of twelve.
  838. HAMLET
  839. No, it is struck.
  840. HORATIO
  841. Indeed? I heard it not: then it draws near the season
  842. Wherein the spirit held his wont to walk.
  843. A flourish of trumpets, and ordnance shot off, within
  844. What does this mean, my lord?
  845. HAMLET
  846. The king doth wake to-night and takes his rouse,
  847. Keeps wassail, and the swaggering up-spring reels;
  848. And, as he drains his draughts of Rhenish down,
  849. The kettle-drum and trumpet thus bray out
  850. The triumph of his pledge.
  851. HORATIO
  852. Is it a custom?
  853. HAMLET
  854. Ay, marry, is't:
  855. But to my mind, though I am native here
  856. And to the manner born, it is a custom
  857. More honour'd in the breach than the observance.
  858. This heavy-headed revel east and west
  859. Makes us traduced and tax'd of other nations:
  860. They clepe us drunkards, and with swinish phrase
  861. Soil our addition; and indeed it takes
  862. From our achievements, though perform'd at height,
  863. The pith and marrow of our attribute.
  864. So, oft it chances in particular men,
  865. That for some vicious mole of nature in them,
  866. As, in their birth--wherein they are not guilty,
  867. Since nature cannot choose his origin--
  868. By the o'ergrowth of some complexion,
  869. Oft breaking down the pales and forts of reason,
  870. Or by some habit that too much o'er-leavens
  871. The form of plausive manners, that these men,
  872. Carrying, I say, the stamp of one defect,
  873. Being nature's livery, or fortune's star,--
  874. Their virtues else--be they as pure as grace,
  875. As infinite as man may undergo--
  876. Shall in the general censure take corruption
  877. From that particular fault: the dram of eale
  878. Doth all the noble substance of a doubt
  879. To his own scandal.
  880. HORATIO
  881. Look, my lord, it comes!
  882. Enter Ghost
  883. HAMLET
  884. Angels and ministers of grace defend us!
  885. Be thou a spirit of health or goblin damn'd,
  886. Bring with thee airs from heaven or blasts from hell,
  887. Be thy intents wicked or charitable,
  888. Thou comest in such a questionable shape
  889. That I will speak to thee: I'll call thee Hamlet,
  890. King, father, royal Dane: O, answer me!
  891. Let me not burst in ignorance; but tell
  892. Why thy canonized bones, hearsed in death,
  893. Have burst their cerements; why the sepulchre,
  894. Wherein we saw thee quietly inurn'd,
  895. Hath oped his ponderous and marble jaws,
  896. To cast thee up again. What may this mean,
  897. That thou, dead corse, again in complete steel
  898. Revisit'st thus the glimpses of the moon,
  899. Making night hideous; and we fools of nature
  900. So horridly to shake our disposition
  901. With thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls?
  902. Say, why is this? wherefore? what should we do?
  903. Ghost beckons HAMLET
  904. HORATIO
  905. It beckons you to go away with it,
  906. As if it some impartment did desire
  907. To you alone.
  908. MARCELLUS
  909. Look, with what courteous action
  910. It waves you to a more removed ground:
  911. But do not go with it.
  912. HORATIO
  913. No, by no means.
  914. HAMLET
  915. It will not speak; then I will follow it.
  916. HORATIO
  917. Do not, my lord.
  918. HAMLET
  919. Why, what should be the fear?
  920. I do not set my life in a pin's fee;
  921. And for my soul, what can it do to that,
  922. Being a thing immortal as itself?
  923. It waves me forth again: I'll follow it.
  924. HORATIO
  925. What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord,
  926. Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff
  927. That beetles o'er his base into the sea,
  928. And there assume some other horrible form,
  929. Which might deprive your sovereignty of reason
  930. And draw you into madness? think of it:
  931. The very place puts toys of desperation,
  932. Without more motive, into every brain
  933. That looks so many fathoms to the sea
  934. And hears it roar beneath.
  935. HAMLET
  936. It waves me still.
  937. Go on; I'll follow thee.
  938. MARCELLUS
  939. You shall not go, my lord.
  940. HAMLET
  941. Hold off your hands.
  942. HORATIO
  943. Be ruled; you shall not go.
  944. HAMLET
  945. My fate cries out,
  946. And makes each petty artery in this body
  947. As hardy as the Nemean lion's nerve.
  948. Still am I call'd. Unhand me, gentlemen.
  949. By heaven, I'll make a ghost of him that lets me!
  950. I say, away! Go on; I'll follow thee.
  951. Exeunt Ghost and HAMLET
  952. HORATIO
  953. He waxes desperate with imagination.
  954. MARCELLUS
  955. Let's follow; 'tis not fit thus to obey him.
  956. HORATIO
  957. Have after. To what issue will this come?
  958. MARCELLUS
  959. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
  960. HORATIO
  961. Heaven will direct it.
  962. MARCELLUS
  963. Nay, let's follow him.
  964. Exeunt
  965. </li>
  966. <li id="chapter4" class="list-group-item chapter-thumbnail">SCENE V.
  967. Another part of the platform.
  968. Enter GHOST and HAMLET
  969. HAMLET
  970. Where wilt thou lead me? speak; I'll go no further.
  971. Ghost
  972. Mark me.
  973. HAMLET
  974. I will.
  975. Ghost
  976. My hour is almost come,
  977. When I to sulphurous and tormenting flames
  978. Must render up myself.
  979. HAMLET
  980. Alas, poor ghost!
  981. Ghost
  982. Pity me not, but lend thy serious hearing
  983. To what I shall unfold.
  984. HAMLET
  985. Speak; I am bound to hear.
  986. Ghost
  987. So art thou to revenge, when thou shalt hear.
  988. HAMLET
  989. What?
  990. Ghost
  991. I am thy father's spirit,
  992. Doom'd for a certain term to walk the night,
  993. And for the day confined to fast in fires,
  994. Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature
  995. Are burnt and purged away. But that I am forbid
  996. To tell the secrets of my prison-house,
  997. I could a tale unfold whose lightest word
  998. Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood,
  999. Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres,
  1000. Thy knotted and combined locks to part
  1001. And each particular hair to stand on end,
  1002. Like quills upon the fretful porpentine:
  1003. But this eternal blazon must not be
  1004. To ears of flesh and blood. List, list, O, list!
  1005. If thou didst ever thy dear father love--
  1006. HAMLET
  1007. O God!
  1008. Ghost
  1009. Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder.
  1010. HAMLET
  1011. Murder!
  1012. Ghost
  1013. Murder most foul, as in the best it is;
  1014. But this most foul, strange and unnatural.
  1015. HAMLET
  1016. Haste me to know't, that I, with wings as swift
  1017. As meditation or the thoughts of love,
  1018. May sweep to my revenge.
  1019. Ghost
  1020. I find thee apt;
  1021. And duller shouldst thou be than the fat weed
  1022. That roots itself in ease on Lethe wharf,
  1023. Wouldst thou not stir in this. Now, Hamlet, hear:
  1024. 'Tis given out that, sleeping in my orchard,
  1025. A serpent stung me; so the whole ear of Denmark
  1026. Is by a forged process of my death
  1027. Rankly abused: but know, thou noble youth,
  1028. The serpent that did sting thy father's life
  1029. Now wears his crown.
  1030. HAMLET
  1031. O my prophetic soul! My uncle!
  1032. Ghost
  1033. Ay, that incestuous, that adulterate beast,
  1034. With witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts,--
  1035. O wicked wit and gifts, that have the power
  1036. So to seduce!--won to his shameful lust
  1037. The will of my most seeming-virtuous queen:
  1038. O Hamlet, what a falling-off was there!
  1039. From me, whose love was of that dignity
  1040. That it went hand in hand even with the vow
  1041. I made to her in marriage, and to decline
  1042. Upon a wretch whose natural gifts were poor
  1043. To those of mine!
  1044. But virtue, as it never will be moved,
  1045. Though lewdness court it in a shape of heaven,
  1046. So lust, though to a radiant angel link'd,
  1047. Will sate itself in a celestial bed,
  1048. And prey on garbage.
  1049. But, soft! methinks I scent the morning air;
  1050. Brief let me be. Sleeping within my orchard,
  1051. My custom always of the afternoon,
  1052. Upon my secure hour thy uncle stole,
  1053. With juice of cursed hebenon in a vial,
  1054. And in the porches of my ears did pour
  1055. The leperous distilment; whose effect
  1056. Holds such an enmity with blood of man
  1057. That swift as quicksilver it courses through
  1058. The natural gates and alleys of the body,
  1059. And with a sudden vigour doth posset
  1060. And curd, like eager droppings into milk,
  1061. The thin and wholesome blood: so did it mine;
  1062. And a most instant tetter bark'd about,
  1063. Most lazar-like, with vile and loathsome crust,
  1064. All my smooth body.
  1065. Thus was I, sleeping, by a brother's hand
  1066. Of life, of crown, of queen, at once dispatch'd:
  1067. Cut off even in the blossoms of my sin,
  1068. Unhousel'd, disappointed, unanel'd,
  1069. No reckoning made, but sent to my account
  1070. With all my imperfections on my head:
  1071. O, horrible! O, horrible! most horrible!
  1072. If thou hast nature in thee, bear it not;
  1073. Let not the royal bed of Denmark be
  1074. A couch for luxury and damned incest.
  1075. But, howsoever thou pursuest this act,
  1076. Taint not thy mind, nor let thy soul contrive
  1077. Against thy mother aught: leave her to heaven
  1078. And to those thorns that in her bosom lodge,
  1079. To prick and sting her. Fare thee well at once!
  1080. The glow-worm shows the matin to be near,
  1081. And 'gins to pale his uneffectual fire:
  1082. Adieu, adieu! Hamlet, remember me.
  1083. Exit
  1084. HAMLET
  1085. O all you host of heaven! O earth! what else?
  1086. And shall I couple hell? O, fie! Hold, hold, my heart;
  1087. And you, my sinews, grow not instant old,
  1088. But bear me stiffly up. Remember thee!
  1089. Ay, thou poor ghost, while memory holds a seat
  1090. In this distracted globe. Remember thee!
  1091. Yea, from the table of my memory
  1092. I'll wipe away all trivial fond records,
  1093. All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past,
  1094. That youth and observation copied there;
  1095. And thy commandment all alone shall live
  1096. Within the book and volume of my brain,
  1097. Unmix'd with baser matter: yes, by heaven!
  1098. O most pernicious woman!
  1099. O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain!
  1100. My tables,--meet it is I set it down,
  1101. That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain;
  1102. At least I'm sure it may be so in Denmark:
  1103. Writing
  1104. So, uncle, there you are. Now to my word;
  1105. It is 'Adieu, adieu! remember me.'
  1106. I have sworn 't.

  1113. HAMLET
  1114. So be it!
  1115. HORATIO

  1117. HAMLET
  1118. Hillo, ho, ho, boy! come, bird, come.

  1120. MARCELLUS
  1121. How is't, my noble lord?
  1122. HORATIO
  1123. What news, my lord?
  1124. HAMLET
  1125. O, wonderful!
  1126. HORATIO
  1127. Good my lord, tell it.
  1128. HAMLET
  1129. No; you'll reveal it.
  1130. HORATIO
  1131. Not I, my lord, by heaven.
  1132. MARCELLUS
  1133. Nor I, my lord.
  1134. HAMLET
  1135. How say you, then; would heart of man once think it?
  1136. But you'll be secret?
  1137. HORATIO MARCELLUS
  1138. Ay, by heaven, my lord.
  1139. HAMLET
  1140. There's ne'er a villain dwelling in all Denmark
  1141. But he's an arrant knave.
  1142. HORATIO
  1143. There needs no ghost, my lord, come from the grave
  1144. To tell us this.
  1145. HAMLET
  1146. Why, right; you are i' the right;
  1147. And so, without more circumstance at all,
  1148. I hold it fit that we shake hands and part:
  1149. You, as your business and desire shall point you;
  1150. For every man has business and desire,
  1151. Such as it is; and for mine own poor part,
  1152. Look you, I'll go pray.
  1153. HORATIO
  1154. These are but wild and whirling words, my lord.
  1155. HAMLET
  1156. I'm sorry they offend you, heartily;
  1157. Yes, 'faith heartily.
  1158. HORATIO
  1159. There's no offence, my lord.
  1160. HAMLET
  1161. Yes, by Saint Patrick, but there is, Horatio,
  1162. And much offence too. Touching this vision here,
  1163. It is an honest ghost, that let me tell you:
  1164. For your desire to know what is between us,
  1165. O'ermaster 't as you may. And now, good friends,
  1166. As you are friends, scholars and soldiers,
  1167. Give me one poor request.
  1168. HORATIO
  1169. What is't, my lord? we will.
  1170. HAMLET
  1171. Never make known what you have seen to-night.
  1172. HORATIO MARCELLUS
  1173. My lord, we will not.
  1174. HAMLET
  1175. Nay, but swear't.
  1176. HORATIO
  1177. In faith,
  1178. My lord, not I.
  1179. MARCELLUS
  1180. Nor I, my lord, in faith.
  1181. HAMLET
  1182. Upon my sword.
  1183. MARCELLUS
  1184. We have sworn, my lord, already.
  1185. HAMLET
  1186. Indeed, upon my sword, indeed.
  1187. Ghost
  1188. [Beneath] Swear.
  1189. HAMLET
  1190. Ah, ha, boy! say'st thou so? art thou there,
  1191. truepenny?
  1192. Come on--you hear this fellow in the cellarage--
  1193. Consent to swear.
  1194. HORATIO
  1195. Propose the oath, my lord.
  1196. HAMLET
  1197. Never to speak of this that you have seen,
  1198. Swear by my sword.
  1199. Ghost
  1200. [Beneath] Swear.
  1201. HAMLET
  1202. Hic et ubique? then we'll shift our ground.
  1203. Come hither, gentlemen,
  1204. And lay your hands again upon my sword:
  1205. Never to speak of this that you have heard,
  1206. Swear by my sword.
  1207. Ghost
  1208. [Beneath] Swear.
  1209. HAMLET
  1210. Well said, old mole! canst work i' the earth so fast?
  1211. A worthy pioner! Once more remove, good friends.
  1212. HORATIO
  1213. O day and night, but this is wondrous strange!
  1214. HAMLET
  1215. And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.
  1216. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
  1217. Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. But come;
  1218. Here, as before, never, so help you mercy,
  1219. How strange or odd soe'er I bear myself,
  1220. As I perchance hereafter shall think meet
  1221. To put an antic disposition on,
  1222. That you, at such times seeing me, never shall,
  1223. With arms encumber'd thus, or this headshake,
  1224. Or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase,
  1225. As 'Well, well, we know,' or 'We could, an if we would,'
  1226. Or 'If we list to speak,' or 'There be, an if they might,'
  1227. Or such ambiguous giving out, to note
  1228. That you know aught of me: this not to do,
  1229. So grace and mercy at your most need help you, Swear.
  1230. Ghost
  1231. [Beneath] Swear.
  1232. HAMLET
  1233. Rest, rest, perturbed spirit!
  1234. They swear
  1235. So, gentlemen,
  1236. With all my love I do commend me to you:
  1237. And what so poor a man as Hamlet is
  1238. May do, to express his love and friending to you,
  1239. God willing, shall not lack. Let us go in together;
  1240. And still your fingers on your lips, I pray.
  1241. The time is out of joint: O cursed spite,
  1242. That ever I was born to set it right!
  1243. Nay, come, let's go together.
