Now, Hamlet, hear. 35 Tis given out that, sleeping in my orchard, A serpent stung me. So the whole ear of Denmark Is by a forgd process of my death Rankly abused.

HAMLET O my prophetic soul! My uncle?	MHLEAT I kenw it! My elcnu?
GHOST Ay, that incestuous, that adulterate beast, With witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts O wicked wit and gifts, that have the power 45 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 50 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, 55 So lust, though to a radiant angel linked, 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, 60 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 65 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 vigor doth posset And curd, like eager droppings into milk, 70 The thin and wholesome blood. So did it mine. And a most instant tetter barked about, Most lazar-like, with vile and loathsome crust All my smooth body. Thus was I, sleeping, by a brothers hand 75 Of life, of crown, of queen at once dispatched, Cut off even in the blossoms of my sin,	GOHST Yse, htat scsuniueto, eodtulusar lianma.

Unhouseled, disappointed, unaneled. No reckoning made, but sent to my account With all my imperfections on my head. 80 Oh, horrible, oh, 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 damnd incest. But howsoever thou pursuest this act, 85 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 glowworm shows the matin to be near, 90 And gins to pale his uneffectual fire.

Ay, thou poor ghost, whiles memory holds a seat In this distracted globe. Remember thee! Yea, from the table of my memory Ill wipe away all trivial fond records, 100 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, Unmixed with baser matter. Yes, by heaven! 105 O most pernicious woman! O villain, villain, smiling, damnd villain! My tables!Meet it is I set it down That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain. At least Im sure it may be so in Denmark. (writes) 110 So, uncle, there you are. Now to my word.	TAMHEL Ah, lal ouy up in vaeehn! ndA htear! hatW esle? alShl I dueinlc hell as lwle?

HAMLET O all you host of heaven! O earth! What else? And shall I couple hell? Oh, fie! Hold, hold, my heart, And you, my sinews, grow not instant old, 95 But bear me stiffly up. Remember thee! Ay, thou poor ghost, whiles memory holds a seat In this distracted globe. Remember thee! Yea, from the table of my memory Ill wipe away all trivial fond records, 100 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, Unmixed with baser matter. Yes, by heaven! 105 O most pernicious woman! O villain, villain, smiling, damnd villain! My tables!Meet it is I set it down That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain. At least Im sure it may be so in Denmark. (writes) 110 So, uncle, there you are. Now to my word.	TAMHEL Ah, lal ouy up in vaeehn! ndA htear! hatW esle? alShl I dueinlc hell as lwle?
