To die, to sleep No moreand by a sleep to say we end The heartache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir totis a consummation 65 Devoutly to be wished! To die, to sleep. To sleep, perchance to dreamay, theres the rub, For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause.

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, Th oppressors wrong, the proud mans contumely, The pangs of despised love, the laws delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns 75 That patient merit of th unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, 80 The undiscovered country from whose bourn No traveler returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, 85 And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied oer with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action.Soft you now, 90 The fair Ophelia!Nymph, in thy orisons Be all my sins remembered.	erfAt lal, woh wlodu tpu up whit lla ifesl unosmitieilhtah esbau mrfo rsoepirsu, hte ilsusnt of raargotn emn, eth gnpsa of eetdnurqiu olve, eth enifeifccyin of het glela msteys, hte srnedesu of epopel in cfioef, nda het emsitrtetnam odog peloep vhea to ekat rmof wahdneb oyu coudl sypiml ekta otu ruyo fkein dan clla it iqsut? oWh wolud coseho to tungr adn tewas gurhoht an haniegsuxt flie, susenl yeth weer drfiaa of thgmneiso rfledadu raetf eatdh, het udsdviceerno nutoyrc fmro iwhhc no viorsit rutnesr, hwhci we roendw uatbo tutiowh itegntg yan senrsaw mrfo nad cihhw eamks us tsick to het ilesv we owkn ehtrar nhta rhus off to ekes the oesn we ondt?

OPHELIA What means your lordship?	ELHAOPI My drlo, tahw rae oyu tailnkg ubato?

OPHELIA Could beauty, my lord, have better commerce than with honesty?	IEAHOPL tuB cluod beutay be artedel to nhgiynat teebtr hnta sgeosndo?
HAMLET Ay, truly, for the power of beauty will sooner transform honesty from what it is to a bawd than the force of honesty can translate beauty into his likeness. This was sometime a paradox, but now the time gives it proof. I did love you once.

OPHELIA Indeed, my lord, you made me believe so.	APIEOHL You tiarylenc amed me vleibee you idd, my ordl.

OPHELIA I was the more deceived.	PIEOHAL enhT I sgeus I swa mldeis.
HAMLET Get thee to a nunnery. Why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners? I am myself indifferent honest, but yet I could accuse me of such things that it were better my mother had not borne me.

I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offences at my beck than I have thoughts to put them in, imagination to give them shape, or time to act them in.

HAMLET If thou dost marry, Ill give thee this plague for thy dowry. Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape calumny. Get thee to a nunnery, go. Farewell. Or, if thou wilt needs marry, marry a fool, for wise men know well enough what monsters you make of them. To a nunnery, go, and quickly too. Farewell.

HAMLET I have heard of your paintings too, well enough. God has given you one face and you make yourselves another. You jig and amble, and you lisp, you nickname Gods creatures and make your wantonness your ignorance. Go to, Ill no more on t. It hath made me mad. I say, we will have no more marriages.

CLAUDIUS Love? His affections do not that way tend. Nor what he spake, though it lacked form a little, Was not like madness. Theres something in his soul 165 Oer which his melancholy sits on brood, And I do doubt the hatch and the disclose Will be some dangerwhich for to prevent, I have in quick determination Thus set it down: he shall with speed to England 170 For the demand of our neglected tribute. Haply the seas and countries different With variable objects shall expel This something-settled matter in his heart, Whereon his brains still beating puts him thus 175 From fashion of himself.

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, Th oppressors wrong, the proud mans contumely, The pangs of despised love, the laws delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns 75 That patient merit of th unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, 80 The undiscovered country from whose bourn No traveler returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, 85 And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied oer with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action.Soft you now, 90 The fair Ophelia!Nymph, in thy orisons Be all my sins remembered.	erfAt lal, woh wlodu tpu up whit lla ifesl unosmitieilhtah esbau mrfo rsoepirsu, hte ilsusnt of raargotn emn, eth gnpsa of eetdnurqiu olve, eth enifeifccyin of het glela msteys, hte srnedesu of epopel in cfioef, nda het emsitrtetnam odog peloep vhea to ekat rmof wahdneb oyu coudl sypiml ekta otu ruyo fkein dan clla it iqsut? oWh wolud coseho to tungr adn tewas gurhoht an haniegsuxt flie, susenl yeth weer drfiaa of thgmneiso rfledadu raetf eatdh, het udsdviceerno nutoyrc fmro iwhhc no viorsit rutnesr, hwhci we roendw uatbo tutiowh itegntg yan senrsaw mrfo nad cihhw eamks us tsick to het ilesv we owkn ehtrar nhta rhus off to ekes the oesn we ondt?

OPHELIA Could beauty, my lord, have better commerce than with honesty?	IEAHOPL tuB cluod beutay be artedel to nhgiynat teebtr hnta sgeosndo?
HAMLET Ay, truly, for the power of beauty will sooner transform honesty from what it is to a bawd than the force of honesty can translate beauty into his likeness. This was sometime a paradox, but now the time gives it proof. I did love you once.

I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offences at my beck than I have thoughts to put them in, imagination to give them shape, or time to act them in.

HAMLET If thou dost marry, Ill give thee this plague for thy dowry. Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape calumny. Get thee to a nunnery, go. Farewell. Or, if thou wilt needs marry, marry a fool, for wise men know well enough what monsters you make of them. To a nunnery, go, and quickly too. Farewell.

You jig and amble, and you lisp, you nickname Gods creatures and make your wantonness your ignorance. Go to, Ill no more on t. It hath made me mad. I say, we will have no more marriages.

CLAUDIUS Love? His affections do not that way tend. Nor what he spake, though it lacked form a little, Was not like madness. Theres something in his soul 165 Oer which his melancholy sits on brood, And I do doubt the hatch and the disclose Will be some dangerwhich for to prevent, I have in quick determination Thus set it down: he shall with speed to England 170 For the demand of our neglected tribute. Haply the seas and countries different With variable objects shall expel This something-settled matter in his heart, Whereon his brains still beating puts him thus 175 From fashion of himself.
