89         And {with} <why> such dayly {cost} <Cast> of brazon Cannon	1.1.73
90         And forraine marte, for implements of warre,	1.1.74
91         Why such impresse of ship-writes, whose sore taske	1.1.75
92         Does not deuide the Sunday from the weeke,	1.1.76
93         What might be toward that this sweaty hast	1.1.77
94         Doth make the night ioynt labourer with the day,	1.1.78
95         Who ist that can informe mee?	1.1.79
96          Hora. That can I.	1.1.79
97         <nn5> At least the whisper goes so; our last King,	1.1.80
98         Whose image euen but now appear'd to vs,	1.1.81
99         Was as you knowe by Fortinbrasse of Norway,	1.1.82
100       Thereto prickt on by a most emulate pride	1.1.83
101       Dar'd to the combat; in which our valiant Hamlet,	1.1.84
102       (For so this side of our knowne world esteemd him)	1.1.85
103       Did slay this Fortinbrasse, who by a seald compact	1.1.86
104       Well ratified by lawe and {heraldy} <Heraldrie,>	1.1.87
105       {B2v} Did forfait (with his life) all {these} <those> his lands	1.1.88
106       Which he stood seaz'd {of} <on>, to the conquerour.	1.1.89
107       Against the which a moitie competent	1.1.90
108       Was gaged by our King, which had {returne} <return'd>	1.1.91
109       To the inheritance of Fortinbrasse,	1.1.92
110       Had he bin vanquisher; as by the same {comart,} <Cou'nant>	1.1.93
111       And carriage of the article desseigne,	1.1.94
112       His fell to Hamlet; now Sir, young Fortinbrasse	1.1.95
113       Of vnimprooued mettle, hot and full,	1.1.96
114       Hath in the skirts of Norway heere and there	1.1.97
115       Sharkt vp a list of {lawelesse} <Landlesse> resolutes	1.1.98
116       For foode and diet to some enterprise	1.1.99
117       That hath a stomacke in't, which is no other	1.1.100
118       {As} <And> it doth well appeare vnto our state	1.1.101

120       And tearmes {compulsatory} <Compulsatiue>, those foresaid lands	1.1.103
121       So by his father lost; and this I take it,	1.1.104
122       Is the maine motiue of our preparations	1.1.105
123       The source of this our watch, and the chiefe head	1.1.106
124       Of this post hast and Romadge in the land.	1.1.107
124+1   { Bar. I thinke it be no other, but enso;}	1.1.108
124+2   {Well may it sort that this portentous figure}	1.1.109
124+3   {Comes armed through our watch so like the King}	1.1.110
124+4   {That was and is the question of these warres.}	1.1.111
124+5   { Hora. A moth it is to trouble the mindes eye:}	1.1.112
124+6   {In the most high and palmy state of Rome,}	1.1.113
124+7   {A little ere the mightiest Iulius fell}	1.1.114
124+8   {The graues stood tennatlesse, and the sheeted dead}	1.1.115
124+9   {Did squeake and gibber in the Roman streets}	1.1.116
124+10 {As starres with traines of fier, and dewes of blood}	1.1.117
124+11 {Disasters in the sunne; and the moist starre,}	1.1.118
124+12 {Vpon whose influence Neptunes Empier stands,}	1.1.119
124+13 {Was sicke almost to doomesday with eclipse.}	1.1.120
124+14 {And euen the like precurse of feare euents}	1.1.121
124+15 {As harbindgers preceading still the fates}	1.1.122
124+16 {And prologue to the Omen comming on}	1.1.123
124+17 {Haue heauen and earth together demonstrated}	1.1.124
124+18 {Vnto our Climatures and countrymen.}	1.1.125
125                    Enter Ghost <againe>.	..
126       {B3} But soft, behold, loe where it comes againe	1.1.126
127       Ile crosse it though it blast mee: stay illusion,                   {It spreads}	1.1.127
128       If thou hast any sound or vse of voyce,                   {his armes.}	1.1.128
129       Speake to me, if there be any good thing to be done	1.1.130
130       That may to thee doe ease, and grace to mee,	1.1.132
130       Speake to me.	1.1.132
131       If thou art priuie to thy countries fate	1.1.133
132       Which happily foreknowing may auoyd	1.1.135
132       O speake:	1.1.135
133       Or if thou hast vphoorded in thy life	1.1.136
134       Extorted treasure in the wombe of earth	1.1.137
135       For which they say {your} <you> spirits oft walke in death. {The cocke}	1.1.138

138        Hor. Doe if it will not stand.	1.1.141
139        Bar. Tis heere.	1.1.141
140        Hor. Tis heere.	1.1.141
141        Mar. Tis gone. <Exit Ghost.>	1.1.142
142       We doe it wrong being so Maiesticall	1.1.143
143       To offer it the showe of violence,	1.1.144
144       For it is as the ayre, invulnerable,	1.1.145
145       And our vaine blowes malicious mockery.	1.1.146
146        Bar. It was about to speake when the cock crewe.	1.1.147
147        Hor. And then it started like a guilty thing,	1.1.148
148       Vpon a fearefull summons; I haue heard,	1.1.149
149       The Cock that is the trumpet to the {morne} <day>,	1.1.150
150       Doth with his lofty and shrill sounding throat	1.1.151
151       Awake the God of day, and at his warning	1.1.152
152       Whether in sea or fire, in earth or ayre	1.1.153
153       Th'extrauagant and erring spirit hies	1.1.154
154       To his confine, and of the truth heerein	1.1.155
155       This present obiect made probation.	1.1.156
156        Mar. It faded on the crowing of the Cock.	1.1.157
157       Some {say} <sayes,> that euer gainst that season comes	1.1.158
158       Wherein our Sauiours birth is celebrated	1.1.159
159       {This} <The> bird of dawning singeth all night long,	1.1.160
160       And then they say no spirit {dare sturre} <can walke> abraode	1.1.161
161       The nights are wholsome, then no plannets strike,	1.1.162
162       No fairy {takes} <talkes>, nor witch hath power to charme	1.1.163
163       {B3v} So {hallowed} <hallow'd>, and so gratious is {that} <the> time.	1.1.164
164        Hora. So haue I heard and doe in part belieue it,	1.1.165

171       Doe you consent we shall acquaint him with it	1.1.172
172       As needfull in our loues, fitting our duty.	1.1.173
173        Mar. {Lets} <Let> doo't I pray, and I this morning knowe	1.1.174
174       Where we shall find him most {conuenient} <conueniently>. Exeunt.	1.1.175

176       {Florish.} Enter Claudius, King of Denmarke, {Gertradt he} <Gertrude the> Queene,	..

181       To beare our harts in griefe, and our whole Kingdome,	1.2.3
182       To be contracted in one browe of woe	1.2.4
183       Yet so farre hath discretion fought with nature,	1.2.5
184       That we with wisest sorrowe thinke on him	1.2.6
185       Together with remembrance of our selues:	1.2.7
186       Therefore our {sometime} <sometimes> Sister, now our Queene	1.2.8

191       In equall scale waighing delight and dole	1.2.13
192       Taken to wife: nor haue we heerein bard	1.2.14
193       Your better wisdomes, which haue freely gone	1.2.15
194       With this affaire along (for all our thankes)	1.2.16
195       Now followes that you knowe young Fortinbrasse,	1.2.17
196       Holding a weake supposall of our worth	1.2.18
197       Or thinking by our late deare brothers death	1.2.19
198       Our state to be disioynt, and out of frame	1.2.20
199       Coleagued with {this} <the> dreame of his aduantage	1.2.21

203       To our most valiant brother, so much for him:	1.2.25

210       His further gate heerein, in that the leuies,	1.2.31
211       The lists, and full proportions are all made	1.2.32

214       For {bearers} <bearing> of this greeting to old Norway,	1.2.35
215       Giuing to you no further personall power	1.2.36
216       To busines with the King, more then the scope	1.2.37
217       Of these {delated} <dilated> articles allowe:	1.2.38
218       Farwell, and let your hast commend your dutie.	1.2.39

226       That shall not be my offer, not thy asking,	1.2.46
227       The head is not more natiue to the hart	1.2.47
228       The hand more instrumentall to the mouth	1.2.48

246        King. How is it that the clowdes still hang on you.	1.2.66
247        Ham. Not so {much} my Lord, I am too much {in the sonne} <i'th'Sun>.	1.2.67
248        Queene. Good Hamlet cast thy {nighted} <nightly> colour off	1.2.68

267       These but the trappings and the suites of woe.	1.2.86
268-9    King. Tis sweete and commendable | in your nature Hamlet,	1.2.87
270       To giue these mourning duties to your father	1.2.88
271       But you must knowe your father lost a father,	1.2.89
272       That father lost, lost his, and the suruiuer bound	1.2.90
273       In filliall obligation for some tearme	1.2.91
274       To doe obsequious sorrowe, but to perseuer	1.2.92
275       In obstinate condolement, is a course	1.2.93
276       Of impious stubbornes, tis vnmanly griefe,	1.2.94
277       It showes a will most incorrect to heauen	1.2.95
278       A hart vnfortified, {or} <a> minde impatient	1.2.96
279       An vnderstanding simple and vnschoold	1.2.97
280       For what we knowe must be, and is as common	1.2.98
281       {C1} As any the most vulgar thing to sence,	1.2.99
282       Why should we in our peuish opposition	1.2.100
283       Take it to hart, fie, tis a fault to heauen,	1.2.101
284       A fault against the dead, a fault to nature,	1.2.102
285       To reason most absurd, whose common theame	1.2.103
286       Is death of fathers, and who still hath cryed	1.2.104
287       From the first {course} <Coarse>, till he that died to day	1.2.105
288       This must be so: we pray you throw to earth	1.2.106
289       This vnpreuailing woe, and thinke of vs	1.2.107
290       As of a father, for let the world take note	1.2.108
291       You are the most imediate to our throne,	1.2.109
292       And with no lesse nobilitie of loue	1.2.110
293       Then that which dearest father beares his sonne,	1.2.111
294       Doe I impart {toward you for} <towards you. For> your intent	1.2.112
295       In going back to schoole in Wittenberg,	1.2.113
296       It is most {retrogard} <retrograde> to our desire,	1.2.114
297       And we beseech you bend you to remaine	1.2.115
298       Heere in the cheare and comfort of our eye,	1.2.116
299       Our chiefest courtier, cosin, and our sonne.	1.2.117
300        Quee. Let not thy mother loose her prayers Hamlet,	1.2.118
301       I {pray thee} <prythee> stay with vs, goe not to Wittenberg.	1.2.119
302-3    Ham. I shall in all my best | obay you Madam.
304        King. Why tis a louing and a faire reply,	1.2.121
305       Be as our selfe in Denmarke, Madam come,	1.2.122
306       This gentle and vnforc'd accord of Hamlet	1.2.123
307       Sits smiling to my hart, in grace whereof,	1.2.124
308       No iocond health that Denmarke drinkes to day,	1.2.125
309       But the great Cannon to the cloudes shall tell.	1.2.126
310       And the Kings rowse the {heauen} <Heauens> shall brute againe,	1.2.127
311       Respeaking earthly thunder; come away.        {Florish.} <Exeunt.> {Exeunt all,}	1.2.128
312                                               <Manet Hamlet>	..
313        Ham. O that this too too {sallied} <solid> flesh would melt, {but Hamlet}	1.2.129
314       Thaw and resolue it selfe into a dewe,	1.2.130
315       Or that the euerlasting had not fixt	1.2.131
316       His cannon gainst {seale} <Selfe->slaughter, ô God, <O> God,	1.2.132
317       How {wary} <weary>, stale, flat, and vnprofitable	1.2.133
318       {Seeme} <Seemes> to me all the vses of this world?	1.2.134
319       Fie on't, {ah fie,} <Oh fie, fie,> tis an vnweeded garden	1.2.135

322       {C1v} But two months dead, nay not so much, not two,	1.2.138
323       So excellent a King, that was to this	1.2.139
324       Hiperion to a satire, so louing to my mother,	1.2.140
325       That he might not {beteeme} <beteene> the winds of heauen	1.2.141
326       Visite her face too roughly, heauen and earth	1.2.142
327       Must I remember, why she {should} <would> hang on him	1.2.143
328       As if increase of appetite had growne	1.2.144
329       By what it fed on, and yet within a month,	1.2.145
330       Let me not thinke on't; frailty thy name is woman	1.2.146
331       A little month or ere those shooes were old	1.2.147
332       With which she followed my poore fathers bodie	1.2.148
333       Like Niobe all teares, why she <euen she.>	1.2.149
334       O {God,} <Heauen!> a beast that wants discourse of reason	1.2.150
335       Would haue mourn'd longer, married with {my} <mine> Vncle,	1.2.151

340       She married, ô most wicked speede; to post	1.2.156
341       With such dexteritie to incestious sheets,	1.2.157
342       It is not, nor it cannot come to good,	1.2.158
343       But breake my hart, for I must hold my tongue.	1.2.159

465       But let me heere from you.	1.3.4

484       The {safty} <sanctity> and health of {this whole} <the weole> state,	1.3.21
485       And therefore must his choise be circumscribd	1.3.22
486       Vnto the voyce and yeelding of that body	1.3.23
487       Whereof he is the head, then if he saies he loues you,	1.3.24

496       Feare it Ophelia, feare it my deare sister,	1.3.33
497       And keepe {you in} <within> the reare of your affection	1.3.34
498       Out of the shot and danger of desire,	1.3.35

528       Grapple them {vnto} <to> thy soule with hoopes of steele,	1.3.63

534       Take each mans censure, but reserue thy iudgement,	1.3.69
535       Costly thy habite as thy purse can buy,	1.3.70
536       But not exprest in fancy; rich not gaudy,	1.3.71
537       For the apparrell oft proclaimes the man	1.3.72

1088     To be a preparation gainst the Pollacke,	2.2.63
1089     But better lookt into, he truly found	2.2.64
1090     It was against your highnes, whereat greeu'd	2.2.65
1091     That so his sicknes, age, and impotence	2.2.66
1092     Was falsly borne in hand, sends out arrests	2.2.67
1093     On Fortenbrasse, which he in breefe obeyes,	2.2.68
1094     Receiues rebuke from Norway, and in fine,	2.2.69
1095     Makes vow before his Vncle neuer more	2.2.70
1096     To giue th'assay of Armes against your Maiestie:	2.2.71
1097     Whereon old Norway ouercome with ioy,	2.2.72
1098     Giues him {threescore} <three> thousand crownes in anuall fee,	2.2.73
1099     And his commission to imploy those souldiers	2.2.74
1100     So leuied (as before) against the Pollacke,	2.2.75
1101     With an entreatie heerein further shone,	2.2.76
1102     That it might please you to giue quiet passe	2.2.77
1103     Through your dominions for {this} <his> enterprise	2.2.78
1104     On such regards of safety and allowance	2.2.79
1105     As therein are set downe.	2.2.80
1106      King. It likes vs well,	2.2.80
1107     And at our more considered time, wee'le read,	2.2.81
1108     Answer, and thinke vpon this busines:	2.2.82
1109     Meane time, we thanke you for your well tooke labour,	2.2.83
1110     Goe to your rest, at night weele feast together,	2.2.84
1111     Most welcome home. {Exeunt } <Exit> Embassadors.	2.2.85
1112      Pol. This busines is <very> well ended.	2.2.85
1113     {E4} My Liege and Maddam, to expostulate	2.2.86
1114     What maiestie should be, what dutie is,	2.2.87
1115     Why day is day, night, night, and time is time,	2.2.88
1116     Were nothing but to wast night, day, and time,	2.2.89
1117     Therefore <since> breuitie is the soule of wit,	2.2.90
1118     And tediousnes the lymmes and outward florishes,	2.2.91
1119     I will be briefe, your noble sonne is mad:	2.2.92
1120     Mad call I it, for to define true madnes,	2.2.93
1121     What ist but to be nothing els but mad,	2.2.94
1122     But let that goe.	2.2.95
1123      Quee. More matter with lesse art.	2.2.95
1124      Pol. Maddam, I sweare I vse no art at all,	2.2.96
1125     That {hee's} <he is> mad tis true, tis true, tis pitty,	2.2.97
1126     And pitty {tis tis} <it is> true, a foolish figure,	2.2.98
1127     But farewell it, for I will vse no art.	2.2.99
1128     <Oo3> Mad let vs graunt him then, and now remaines	2.2.
1129     That we find out the cause of this effect,	2.2.101
1130     Or rather say, the cause of this defect,	2.2.102
1131     For this effect defectiue comes by cause:	2.2.103
1132     Thus it remaines, and the remainder thus	2.2.105
1132     Perpend,	2.2.105
1133     I haue a daughter, haue {while} <whil'st> she is mine,	2.2.106
1134     Who in her dutie and obedience, marke,	2.2.107
1135     Hath giuen me this, now gather and surmise,	2.2.108
1136     <The Letter.>	..
1137     To the Celestiall and my soules Idoll, the most beau-	2.2.110
1137-9 tified {Ophelia,} <O-| phelia.> | that's an ill phrase, a {vile} <vilde> phrase,
1139-40 beautified is a {vile} <vilde> | phrase, but you shall heare: {thus} <these> in
1140-1 her excellent white | bosome, these {&c.}
1142      Quee. Came this from Hamlet to her?	2.2.114
1143      Pol. Good Maddam stay awhile, I will be faithfull,	2.2.115
1144     Doubt thou the starres are fire,                   {Letter.}	2.2.116
1145     Doubt that the Sunne doth moue,	2.2.117
1146     Doubt truth to be a lyer,	2.2.118
1147     But neuer doubt I loue.	2.2.119
1148-9 O deere Ophelia, I am ill at these numbers, I haue not art to | recken
1149-50  my grones, but that I loue thee best, ô most best {belieue} <be-| leeue> it, adew.
1151-2  Thine euermore most deere Lady, whilst this | machine is to him. Hamlet.
1152-3 {Pol.} This in obedience hath my daughter {showne} <shew'd> me,
1154      And more {about} <aboue> hath his {solicitings} <soliciting,>	2.2.126
1155     {E4v} As they fell out by time, by meanes, and place,	2.2.127
1156     All giuen to mine eare.	2.2.128
1157      King. But how hath she receiu'd his loue?	2.2.129
1158      Pol. What doe you thinke of me?	2.2.129
1159      King. As of a man faithfull and honorable.	2.2.130
1160      Pol. I would faine proue so, but what might you thinke	2.2.131
1161     When I had seene this hote loue on the wing,	2.2.132
1162     As I perceiu'd it (I must tell you that)	2.2.133
1163     Before my daughter told me, what might you,	2.2.134
1164     Or my deere Maiestie your Queene heere thinke,	2.2.135
1165     If I had playd the Deske, or Table booke,	2.2.136
1166     Or giuen my hart a {working} <winking> mute and dumbe,	2.2.137
1167     Or lookt vppon this loue with idle sight,	2.2.138
1168     What might you thinke? no, I went round to worke,	2.2.139
1169     And {my young Mistris} <(my yong Mistris)>thus I did bespeake,	2.2.140
1170     Lord Hamlet is a Prince out of thy star,	2.2.141
1171     This must not be: and then I {prescripts} <Precepts> gaue her	2.2.142
1172     That she should locke her selfe from {her} <his> resort,	2.2.143
1173     Admit no messengers, receiue no tokens,	2.2.144
1174     Which done, she tooke the fruites of my aduise:	2.2.145
1175     And he {repell'd,} <repulsed.> a short tale to make,	2.2.146
1176     Fell into a sadnes, then into a fast,	2.2.147
1177     Thence to a {wath} <Watch>, thence into a weakenes,	2.2.148
1178     Thence to <a> lightnes, and by this declension,	2.2.149
1179     Into the madnes {wherein} <whereon> now he raues,	2.2.150
1180     And all we {mourne} <waile> for.	2.2.151
1181      King. Doe you thinke <'tis> this?	2.2.151
1182      Quee. It may be very {like} <likely>.	2.2.152
1183      Pol. Hath there been such a time, {I would} <I'de> faine know that,	2.2.153
1184     That I haue positiuely said, tis so,	2.2.154
1185     When it proou'd otherwise?	2.2.155
1186      King. Not that I know.	2.2.155
1187      Pol. Take this, from this, if this be otherwise;	2.2.156
1188     If circumstances leade me, I will finde	2.2.157
1189     Where truth is hid, though it were hid indeede	2.2.158
1190     Within the Center.	2.2.159
1191      King. How may we try it further?	2.2.159
1192-3  Pol. You know sometimes | he walkes foure houres together
1193-4 Heere | in the Lobby.
1195     {Fl}  Quee. So he {dooes} <ha's> indeede.	2.2.161
1196      Pol. At such a time, Ile loose my daughter to him,	2.2.162
1197     Be you and I behind an Arras then,	2.2.163
1198     Marke the encounter, if he loue her not,	2.2.164
1199     And be not from his reason falne thereon	2.2.165
1200     Let me be no assistant for a state	2.2.166
1201     {But} <And> keepe a farme and carters.	2.2.167
1202      King. We will try it.	2.2.167
1203     Enter Hamlet <reading on a Booke>.	..
1204-5  Quee. But looke where sadly the poore wretch | comes reading.
1206      Pol. Away, I doe beseech you both away,                   {Exit King and Queene.}	2.2.169
1207-8 Ile bord him presently,                   <Exit King & Queen.> | oh giue me leaue,
1208     How dooes my good Lord Hamlet?	2.2.171
1209      Ham. Well, God a mercy.	2.2.172
1210      Pol. Doe you knowe me my Lord?	2.2.173
1211      Ham. Excellent <excellent> well, {you are} <y'are> a Fishmonger.	2.2.174
1212      Pol. Not I my Lord.	2.2.175
1213      Ham. Then I would you were so honest a man.	2.2.176
1214      Pol. Honest my Lord.	2.2.177
1215      Ham. I sir to be honest as this world goes,	2.2.179
1215-6 Is to be | one man pickt out of {tenne} <two> thousand.
1217      Pol. That's very true my Lord.	2.2.180
1218-9  Ham. For if the sunne breede maggots in a dead dogge, | being a
1219-20  good kissing carrion{.} <----> | Haue you a daughter?
1221      Pol. I haue my Lord.	2.2.183
1222-3  Ham. Let her not walke i'th Sunne, conception is a | blessing,
1223-4 But <not> as your daughter may conceaue, friend | looke to't.
1225-6  Pol. How say you by that, still harping on my {daughter,} <daugh-| ter:> yet hee
1226-7  knewe me not at first, {a} <he> sayd I was a {Fishmonger, a is farre gone,} <Fishmon->
1227-8  <ger: he is farre gone, farre gone:>and truly in my youth, | I suffred much extremity for loue, very
1228-9  neere this. | Ile speake to him againe. What doe you reade my
1229      Lord.	2.2.191
1230      Ham. Words, words, words.	2.2.192
1231      Pol. What is the matter my Lord.	2.2.193
1232      Ham. Betweene who.	2.2.194
1233      Pol. I meane the matter {that} you {reade} <meane,> my Lord.	2.2.195
1234-5  Ham. Slaunders sir; for the satericall {rogue} <slaue> sayes heere, | that old
1235-6  men haue gray beards, that their faces are {wrinckled,} <wrin-| kled;> their eyes
1236-7  purging thick Amber, {&} <or> plumtree | gum, & that they haue a plen-
1237-8 {Flv} tifull {lacke} <locke> of wit, | together with {most} weake hams, all which sir
1238-40 though I | most powerfully and potentlie belieue, yet I hold it | not
1240-1 honesty to haue it thus set downe, for <you> your | selfe sir {shall growe} <should be> old
1241-2 as I am: if like a Crab you could | goe backward.
1243-4  Pol. Though this be madnesse, | yet there is method in't, will you
1244-5 walke | out of the ayre my Lord?
1246      Ham. Into my graue.	2.2.207
1247-8  Pol. Indeede {that's} <that is> out {of the ayre;} <o'th'Ayre:> | how pregnant sometimes
1248-51 his replies are, | a happines | that often madnesse hits on, | which reason
1251-3 and {sanctity} <Sanitie> could not | so prosperously be deliuered of. {I will leaue}
1253-7 {him and my daughter. My Lord, I will take my leaue of you.}
1253     <I will leaue him.>	2.2.212
1254     <And sodainely contriue the meanes of meeting>	2.2.212
1255     <Betweene him, and my daughter.>	2.2.213
1256     <My Honourable Lord, I will most humbly>	2.2.213
1257     <take my leaue of you.>	2.2.214
1258     <Oo3v>  Ham. You cannot <Sir> take from mee any thing that I | will {not} more	2.2.
1259     willingly part withall: except my life, {except my life, except} my	2.2.216
1260     life.                     {Enter Guyldersterne, and Rosencraus.}	2.2.217
1261      Pol. Fare you well my Lord.	2.2.218
1262      Ham. These tedious old fooles.	2.2.219
1263-4  Pol. You goe to seeke {the} <my> Lord Hamlet, there | he is.
1265     <Enter Rosincran and Guildensterne.>	..
1266      Ros. God saue you sir.	2.2.221
1267      Guyl. {My} <Mine> honor'd Lord.	2.2.222
1268      Ros. My most deere Lord.	2.2.223
1269-70  Ham. My {extent} <excellent> good friends, how doost thou | Guyldersterne?
1270-1 {A} <Oh,> Rosencraus, good lads how doe {you} <ye> | both?
1272      Ros. As the indifferent children of the earth.	2.2.227
1273      Guyl. Happy, in that we are not {euer happy on Fortunes lap,} <ouer- happy: on For->	2.2.229
1274     <tunes Cap,>We are not the very button.	2.2.229
1275      Ham. Nor the soles of her shooe.	2.2.230
1276      Ros. Neither my Lord.	2.2.231
1277-8  Ham. Then you liue about her wast, or in the {middle of her fauours.} <mid->
1278     <dle of her fauour?>	2.2.233
1279      Guyl. Faith her priuates we.	2.2.234
1280-1  Ham. In the secret parts of Fortune, oh most true, | she is a strumpet,
1281     {What} <What's the> newes?	2.2.236
1282-3  Ros. None my Lord, but <that> the worlds growne | honest.
1284-5  Ham. Then is Doomes day neere, but your newes is | not true;
1285     <Let me question more in particular: what haue>	2.2.240
1286     <you my good friends, deserued at the hands of Fortune,>	2.2.241
1287     <that she sends you to Prison hither?>	2.2.241
1288     < Guil. Prison, my Lord?>	2.2.242
1289     < Ham. Denmark's a Prison.>	2.2.243
1290     < Rosin. Then is the World one.>	2.2.244
1291     < Ham. A goodly one, in which there are many Con- >	2.2.245
1292     <fines, Wards, and Dungeons; Denmarke being one o'th'>	2.2.246
1293     <worst.>	2.2.247
1294     < Rosin. We thinke not so my Lord.>	2.2.248
1295     < Ham. Why then 'tis none to you; for there is nothing>	2.2.250
1296     <either good or bad, but thinking makes it so: to me it is>	2.2.251
1297     <a prison.>	2.2.251
1298     < Rosin. Why then your Ambition makes it one: 'tis>	2.2.252
1299     <too narrow for your minde.>	2.2.253
1300     < Ham. O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell, and>	2.2.254
1301     <count my selfe a King of infinite space; were it not that>	2.2.255
1302     <I haue bad dreames.>	2.2.256
1303     < Guil. Which dreames indeed are Ambition: for the>	2.2.257
1304     <very substance of the Ambitious, is meerely the shadow>	2.2.258
1305     <of a Dreame.>	2.2.259
1306     < Ham. A dreame it selfe is but a shadow.>	2.2.260
1307     < Rosin. Truely, and I hold Ambition of so ayry and>	2.2.261
1308     <light a quality, that it is but a shadowes shadow.>	2.2.262
1309     < Ham. Then are our Beggers bodies; and our Mo->	2.2.263

1313     < Both. Wee'l wait vpon you.>	2.2.266
1314  < Ham. No such matter. I will not sort you with the>	2.2.267
1315     <rest of my seruants: for to speake to you like an honest>	2.2.268
1316     <man: I am most dreadfully attended;>	2.2.269
1316-7 But in the beaten | way of friendship, what make you at Elsonoure?
1318      Ros. To visit you my Lord, no other occasion.	2.2.271
1319-20  Ham. Begger that I am, I am {euer} <euen> poore in thankes, | but I thanke
1320-1 you, and sure deare friends, my thankes | are too deare a halfpeny:
1321-2 were you not sent for? | is it your owne inclining? is it a free visitati-
1322-3 on? come, {come,} | deale iustly with me, come, come, nay speake.
1324      Guy. What should we say my Lord?	2.2.277
1325     {F2}  Ham. <Why> Any thing but {to'th} <to the> purpose: you were | sent for, and there is	2.2.278
1326-7 a kind {of} confession in your lookes, | which your modesties haue not
1327-8 craft enough to {cullour} <co-| lor>, I know the good King and Queene haue
1328     sent for you.	2.2.281
1329      Ros. To what end my Lord?	2.2.282
1330-1  Ham. That you must teach me: but let me coniure | you, by the
1331-2 rights of our fellowship, by the consonancie of | our youth, by the
1332-3 obligation of our euer preserued loue; | and by what more deare a
1333-4 better proposer {can} <could> charge | you withall, bee euen and direct with
1334-5 me whether you | were sent for or no.
1336      Ros. What say you.	2.2.288
1337-8  Ham. Nay then I haue an eye of you? if you loue me | hold not of.
1339      Guyl. My Lord we were sent for.	2.2.292
1340-1  Ham. I will tell you why, so shall my anticipation | preuent your
1341-2 discouery, {and} <of> your secrecie to the King & | Queene moult no fea-
1342-3 ther, I haue of late, but wherefore | I knowe not, lost all my mirth,
1343-4 forgon all custome of {exercises:} <ex-| ercise;> and indeede it goes so {heauily} <heauenly> with
1344-5 my {disposition,} <dispositi-| on;> that this goodly frame the earth, seemes to mee a
1345-7 {sterill} <ster-| rill> promontorie, this most excellent Canopie the ayre, | looke
1347-8 you, this braue orehanging {firmament}, this maiesticall roofe | fret-
1348-9 ted with golden fire, why it {appeareth nothing} <appeares no other thing> | to me {but} <then> a foule
1349-50 and pestilent congregation of {vapoures} <va-| pours>. What <a> peece of worke is a
1350-1 man, how noble in | reason, how infinit in {faculties,} <faculty?> in forme and
1351-2 moouing{,} | how expresse and admirable<?> in action, how like an An-
1353-4 gell <?> in apprehension, how like a God: the beautie of the | world; the
1354-5 paragon of Annimales; and yet to me, what is | this Quintessence of
1355-6 dust: man delights not me, <no,> | nor {women} <Woman> neither, though by your
1356-7 smilling, you seeme | to say so.
1358-9  Ros. My Lord, there was no such stuffe in my | thoughts.
1360-1  Ham. Why did {yee} <you> laugh {then}, when I sayd man delights | not me.
1362-3  Ros. To thinke my Lord if you delight not in man, | what Lenton
1363-4 entertainment the players shall receaue | from you, we coted them
1364-5 on the way, and hether are | they comming to offer you seruice.
1366-7  Ham. He that playes the King shal be welcome, his | Maiestie shal
1367-8 haue tribute {on} <of> me, the aduenterous | Knight shall vse his foyle and
1368-9 target, the Louer shall | not sigh gratis, the humorus Man shall end
1369-70 his part in | peace, <the Clowne shall make those laugh whose lungs>
1371-2 <are tickled a'th'sere:> and the Lady shall say her minde | freely: or the
1372-3 {black} <blanke> verse shall hault for't. What players | are they?
1374-5  Ros. Euen those you were wont to take {such} delight in, | the Trage-
1375     dians of the Citty.	2.2.328
1376     {F2v}  Ham. How chances it they trauaile? their {residence} <resi-| dence> both in repu-	2.2.329
1377-8 tation, and profit was better both | wayes.
1379-80  Ros. I thinke their inhibition, comes by the meanes | of the late
1380     innouasion.
1381-2  Ham. Doe they hold the same estimation they did | when I was in
1382     the Citty; are they so {followed.} <follow'd?>	2.2.335
1383      Ros. No indeede {are they} <they are> not.	2.2.336
1384     < Ham. How comes it? doe they grow rusty?>	2.2.337
1385     < Rosin. Nay, their indeauour keepes in the wonted>	2.2.338

1483-4  of mine, an | excellent play, well digested in the scenes, set downe

1501     Bak'd and empasted with the parching streetes	2.2.459
1502     That lend a tirranus and {a} damned light	2.2.460
1503     To their {Lords murther} <vilde Murthers>, rosted in wrath and fire,	2.2.461
1504     And thus ore-cised with coagulate gore,	2.2.462
1505     With eyes like Carbunkles, the hellish Phirrhus	2.2.463
1506     Old grandsire Priam seekes; {so proceede you}.	2.2.464
1507-8  Pol. Foregod my Lord well spoken, with good {accent} <ac-| cent> and good
1508-9  Play. Anon he finds him,                   (discretion.
1510     Striking too short at Greekes, his anticke sword	2.2.469
1511     Rebellious to his arme, lies where it fals,	2.2.470
1512     Repugnant to commaund; vnequall {matcht} <match>,	2.2.471
1513     Pirrhus at Priam driues, in rage strikes wide,	2.2.472
1514     But with the whiffe and winde of his fell sword,	2.2.473
1515     Th'vnnerued father fals: <Then senselesse Illium,>	2.2.474
1516     Seeming to feele {this} <his> blowe, with flaming top	2.2.475
1517     Stoopes to his base; and with a hiddious crash	2.2.476
1518     Takes prisoner Pirrhus eare, for loe his sword	2.2.477
1519     Which was declining on the milkie head	2.2.478
1520     Of {reuerent} <Reuerend> Priam, seem'd i'th ayre to stick,	2.2.479
1521     <Oo4v> So as a painted tirant Pirrhus stood	2.2.
1522     <And> Like a newtrall to his will and matter,	2.2.482
1522     Did nothing:	2.2.482
1523     But as we often see against some storme,	2.2.483
1524     A silence in the heauens, the racke stand still,	2.2.484
1525     The bold winds speechlesse, and the orbe belowe	2.2.485
1526     As hush as death, anon the dreadfull thunder	2.2.486
1527     Doth rend the region, so after Pirrhus pause,	2.2.487
1528     A rowsed vengeance sets him new a worke,	2.2.488
1529     And neuer did the Cyclops hammers fall,	2.2.489
1530     On {Marses Armor} <Mars his Armours,> forg'd for proofe eterne,	2.2.490
1531     With lesse remorse then Pirrhus bleeding sword	2.2.491
1532     Now falls on Priam.	2.2.492
1533     {F4} Out, out, thou strumpet Fortune, all you gods,	2.2.493
1534     In generall sinod take away her power,	2.2.494
1535     Breake all the spokes, and {follies} <Fallies> from her wheele,	2.2.495
1536     And boule the round naue downe the hill of heauen	2.2.496
1537     As lowe as to the fiends.	2.2.497
1538      Pol. This is too long.	2.2.498
1539-40  Ham. It shall {to the} <to'th> barbers with your beard; {prethee} <Pry-| thee> say on, he's
1540-1 for a Iigge, or a tale of bawdry, or he | sleepes, say on, come to Hecuba.
1542      Play. But who, {a woe} <O who>, had seene the {mobled} <inobled> Queene,	2.2.502

1545-6  Play. Runne barefoote vp and downe, | threatning the {flames} <flame>
1547     With Bison rehume, a clout {vppon} <about> that head	2.2.506

1549     About her lanck and all ore-teamed loynes,	2.2.508
1550     A blancket in {the alarme} <th'Alarum> of feare caught vp,	2.2.509
1551     Who this had seene, with tongue in venom steept,	2.2.510
1552     Gainst fortunes state would treason haue pronounst;	2.2.511
1553     But if the gods themselues did see her then,	2.2.512
1554     When she saw Pirrhus make malicious sport	2.2.513
1555     In mincing with his sword her {husband} <Husbands> limmes,	2.2.514
1556     The instant burst of clamor that she made,	2.2.515
1557     Vnlesse things mortall mooue them not at all,	2.2.516
1558     Would haue made milch the burning eyes of heauen	2.2.517
1559     And passion in the gods.	2.2.518
1560-1  Pol. Looke where he has not turnd his cullour, and | has teares in's

1572-3 and dignity, the lesse they | deserue the more merrit is in your boun-

1590     O what a rogue and pesant slaue am I.	2.2.550
1591     Is it not monstrous that this player heere	2.2.551
1592     But in a fixion, in a dreame of passion	2.2.552
1593     Could force his soule so to his {owne} <whole> conceit	2.2.553
1594     That from her working all {the} <his> visage {wand,} <warm'd;>	2.2.554
1595     Teares in his eyes, distraction {in his} <in's> aspect,	2.2.555

1597     With formes to his conceit; and all for nothing,	2.2.557

1601     Had he the {motiue, and that} <Motiue and the Cue> for passion	2.2.561
1602     That I haue? he would drowne the stage with teares,	2.2.562
1603     And cleaue the generall eare with horrid speech,	2.2.563
1604     Make mad the guilty, and appale the free,	2.2.564
1605     Confound the ignorant, and amaze indeede	2.2.565

1610     Vpon whose property and most deare life,	2.2.570
1611     A damn'd defeate was made: am I a coward,	2.2.571

1625     Prompted to my reuenge by heauen and hell,	2.2.584
1626     Must like a whore vnpacke my hart with words,	2.2.585
1627-8 And fall a cursing like a very drabbe; | a {stallyon,} <Scullion?> fie vppont, foh.
1628-9 About my {braines; hum,} <Braine.> | I haue heard,
1629     That guilty creatures sitting at a play,	2.2.589
1630     Haue by the very cunning of the scene,	2.2.590
1631     Beene strooke so to the soule, that presently	2.2.591
1632     They haue proclaim'd their malefactions:	2.2.592
1633     For murther, though it haue no tongue will speake	2.2.593
1634     With most miraculous organ: Ile haue these Players	2.2.594
1635     Play something like the {murther} <murder> of my father	2.2.595
1636     Before mine Vncle, Ile obserue his lookes,	2.2.596
1637     Ile tent him to the quicke, if {a doe} <he but> blench	2.2.597
1638     I know my course. The spirit that I haue seene	2.2.598
1639     May be {a deale} <the Diuell>, and the {deale} <Diuel> hath power	2.2.599
1640     T'assume a pleasing shape, yea, and perhaps,	2.2.600
1641     Out of my weakenes, and my melancholy,	2.2.601
1642     As he is very potent with such spirits,	2.2.602
1643     Abuses me to damne me; Ile haue grounds	2.2.603
1644     More relatiue then this, the play's the thing	2.2.604

1649     Get from him why he puts on this confusion,	3.1.2
1650     Grating so harshly all his dayes of quiet	3.1.3
1651     <Oo5> With turbulent and dangerous lunacie?	3.1.
1652      Ros. He dooes confesse he feeles himselfe distracted,	3.1.5
1653     But from what cause, {a} <he> will by no meanes speake.	3.1.6

1662      Most free in his reply.	3.1.14
1663      Quee. Did you assay him to any pastime?	3.1.15

1673     And it doth much content me	3.1.24
1674     To heare him so inclin'd.	3.1.26
1674-5 Good gentlemen | giue him a further edge,
1675-6 And driue his purpose {into} <on | To> these delights.
1677      Ros. We shall my Lord. Exeunt. {Ros. & Guyl.}	3.1.28
1678      King. Sweet Gertrard, leaue vs {two} <too>,	3.1.28
1679     For we haue closely sent for Hamlet hether,	3.1.29
1680     That he as t'were by accedent, may {heere} <there>	3.1.30
1681     Affront Ophelia; her father and my selfe,<(lawful espials)>	3.1.31
1682     {Wee'le} <Will> so bestow our selues, that seeing vnseene,	3.1.32
1683     We may of their encounter franckly iudge,	3.1.33
1684     And gather by him as he is behau'd,	3.1.34
1685     Ift be th'affliction of his loue or no	3.1.35
1686     That thus he suffers for.	3.1.36
1687      Quee. I shall obey you.	3.1.36
1688     And for your part Ophelia, I doe wish	3.1.37
1689     That your good beauties be the happy cause	3.1.38
1690     Of Hamlets wildnes, so shall I hope your vertues,	3.1.39
1691     Will bring him to his wonted way againe,	3.1.40
1692     To both your honours.	3.1.41
1693      Oph. Maddam, I wish it may.	3.1.41
1694      Pol. Ophelia walke you heere, gracious so please {you,} <ye>	3.1.42
1695     {G2} We will bestow our selues; reade on this booke,	3.1.43
1696     That show of such an exercise may cullour	3.1.44
1697     Your {lowlines;} <lonelinesse.> we are oft too blame in this,	3.1.45
1698     Tis too much proou'd, that with deuotions visage	3.1.46
1699     And pious action, we doe {sugar} <surge> ore	3.1.47
1700     The deuill himselfe.	3.1.48
1701      King. O tis {too} true,	3.1.48
1702     How smart a lash that speech doth giue my conscience.	3.1.49
1703     The harlots cheeke beautied with plastring art,	3.1.50
1704     Is not more ougly to the thing that helps it,	3.1.51
1705     Then is my deede to my most painted word:	3.1.52
1706     O heauy burthen.	3.1.53
1707      Pol. I heare him comming, <let's> with-draw my Lord.	3.1.54
1708                  <Exeunt.>	..
1709                  Enter Hamlet.	..
1710      Ham. To be, or not to be, that is the question,	3.1.55
1711     Whether tis nobler in the minde to suffer	3.1.56
1712     The slings and arrowes of outragious fortune,	3.1.57
1713     Or to take Armes against a sea of troubles,	3.1.58
1714     And by opposing, end them, to die to sleepe	3.1.59
1715     No more, and by a sleepe, to say we end	3.1.60
1716     The hart-ake, and the thousand naturall shocks	3.1.61
1717     That flesh is heire to; tis a consumation	3.1.62
1718     Deuoutly to be wisht to die to sleepe,	3.1.63
1719     To sleepe, perchance to dreame, I there's the rub,	3.1.64
1720     For in that sleepe of death what dreames may come	3.1.65
1721     When we haue shuffled off this mortall coyle	3.1.66
1722     Must giue vs pause, there's the respect	3.1.67
1723     That makes calamitie of so long life:	3.1.68
1724     For who would beare the whips and scornes of time,	3.1.69
1725     {Th'oppressors} <The Oppressors> wrong, the {proude} <poore> mans contumely,	3.1.70
1726     The pangs of {despiz'd} <dispriz'd> loue, the lawes delay,	3.1.71
1727     The insolence of office, and the spurnes	3.1.72
1728     That patient merrit of {th'vnworthy} <the vnworthy> takes,	3.1.73
1729     When he himselfe might his quietas make	3.1.74
1730     With a bare bodkin; who would <these> fardels beare,	3.1.75
1731     To grunt and sweat vnder a wearie life,	3.1.76
1732     But that the dread of something after death,	3.1.77
1733     The {vndiscouer'd} <vndiscouered> country, from whose borne	3.1.78
1734     {G2v} No trauiler returnes, puzzels the will,	3.1.79
1735     And makes vs rather beare those ills we haue,	3.1.80
1736     Then flie to others that we know not of.	3.1.81
1737     Thus conscience dooes make cowards <of vs all>,	3.1.82
1738     And thus the natiue hiew of resolution	3.1.83
1739     Is {sickled} <sicklied> ore with the pale cast of thought,	3.1.84
1740     And enterprises of great {pitch} <pith> and moment,	3.1.85
1741     With this regard theyr currents turne {awry} <away>,	3.1.86
1742     And loose the name of action. Soft you now,	3.1.87
1743     The faire Ophelia, Nimph in thy orizons	3.1.88
1744     Be all my sinnes remembred.	3.1.89
1745      Oph. Good my Lord,	3.1.89
1746     How dooes your honour for this many a day?	3.1.90
1747      Ham. I humbly thanke you <: well, well,> well.	3.1.91
1748      Oph. My Lord, I haue remembrances of yours	3.1.92
1749     That I haue longed long to redeliuer,	3.1.93
1750     I pray you now receiue them.	3.1.94
1751      Ham. No, {not I} <no>, I neuer gaue you ought.	3.1.95
1752      Oph. My honor'd Lord, {you} <I> know right well you did,	3.1.96
1753     And with them words of so sweet breath composd	3.1.97
1754     As made {these} <the> things more rich, {their} <then> perfume {lost,} <left:>	3.1.98
1755     Take these againe, for to the noble mind	3.1.99
1756     Rich gifts wax poore when giuers prooue vnkind,	3.1.100
1757     There my Lord.	3.1.101
1758      Ham. Ha, ha, are you honest.	3.1.102
1759      Oph. My Lord.	3.1.103
1760      Ham. Are you faire?	3.1.104
1761      Oph. What meanes your Lordship?	3.1.105
1762-3  Ham. That if you be honest & faire, {you} <your Honesty> | should admit
1763     no discourse to your beautie.	3.1.107
1764      Oph. Could beauty my Lord haue better comerse	3.1.109
1765     Then {with} <your> honestie?	3.1.109
1766-7  Ham. I truly, for the power of beautie will sooner | transforme ho-
1767-8 nestie from what it is to a bawde, then the | force of honestie can trans-
1768-9 late beautie into his likenes, | this was sometime a paradox, but now the
1769-70 time giues it | proofe, I did loue you once.
1771      Oph. Indeed my Lord you made me belieue so.	3.1.115
1772-3  Ham. You should not haue beleeu'd me, for vertue cannot so
1773-4 {euocutat} <innocculate> our old stock, but we shall relish of it, I loued you not.
1775     {G3}  Oph. I was the more deceiued.	3.1.119
1776-7  Ham. Get thee {a Nunry} <to a Nunnerie>, why would'st thou be a breeder of sin-
1777-8 ners, I am my selfe indifferent honest, but yet I could accuse mee of
1778-9 such things, that it were {better} <bet-| ter> my Mother had not borne mee: I am
1779-80 very proude, {reuengefull} <re-| uengefull>, ambitious, with more offences at my beck,
1781-2 then I haue thoughts to put them {in, imagination } <in imagination,> to giue them shape,
1782-3 <Oo5v> or time to act them in: what should such | fellowes as I do crauling be-
1783-4 tweene {earth and heauen,} <Heauen and Earth.>| wee are arrant knaues <all>, beleeue none of vs,
1784-5 goe thy | waies to a {Nunry} <Nunnery>. Where's your father?
1786      Oph. At home my Lord.	3.1.130
1787      Ham. Let the doores be shut vpon him,	3.1.131
1787-8 That he may | play the foole no {where} <way,> but in's owne house,
1788     Farewell.	3.1.132
1789      Oph. O helpe him you sweet heauens.	3.1.133
1790-1  Ham. If thou doost marry, Ile giue thee this plague | for thy dow-
1791-2 rie, be thou as chast as yce, as pure as snow, | thou shalt not escape ca-
1792-3 lumny; get thee to a {Nunry} <Nunnery>, | <Go,> farewell. Or if thou wilt needes marry,
1793-4 marry a foole, | for wise men knowe well enough what monsters you
1795-6 make of them: to a {Nunry} <Nunnery> goe, and quickly to, {farewell} <Far-| well>.
1797      Oph. <O> Heauenly powers restore him.	3.1.141
1798-9  Ham. I haue heard of your {paintings} <pratlings too> well enough, | God {hath} <has> gi-
1799-1800 uen you one {face} <pace>, and you make your {selfes another,} <selfe an-| other:> you gig {&} <you> am-
1800-1 ble, and you {list you} <lispe, and> nickname | Gods creatures, and make your wan-
1801-2 tonnes {ignorance;} <your Ig-| norance.> goe to, Ile no more on't, it hath made me madde,
1803-4 I say we will haue no {mo marriage,} <more Marriages.> those that are | married alreadie, all
1804-5 but one shall liue, the rest shall keep | as they are: to a {Nunry} <Nunnery,> go. Exit <Hamlet>.
1806      Oph. O what a noble mind is heere orethrowne!	3.1.150
1807     The Courtiers, souldiers, schollers, eye, tongue, sword,	3.1.151
1808     {Th'expectation,} <Th'expectansie> and Rose of the faire state,	3.1.152
1809     The glasse of fashion, and the mould of forme,	3.1.153
1810     Th'obseru'd of all obseruers, quite quite downe,	3.1.154
1811     {And} <Haue> I of Ladies most deiect and wretched,	3.1.155
1812     That suckt the honny of his {musickt} <Musicke> vowes;	3.1.156
1813     Now see {what} <that> noble and most soueraigne reason	3.1.157
1814     Like sweet bells iangled out of {time} <tune>, and harsh,	3.1.158
1815     That vnmatcht forme, and {stature} <Feature> of blowne youth	3.1.159
1816     Blasted with extacie, ô woe is mee	3.1.160
1817     T'haue seene what I haue seene, see what I see.   {Exit.}	3.1.161
1818     {G3v} Enter King and Polonius.	..
1819      King. Loue, his affections doe not that way tend,	3.1.162
1820     Nor what he spake, though it lackt forme a little,	3.1.163
1821     Was not like madnes, there's something in his soule	3.1.164
1822     Ore which his melancholy sits on brood,	3.1.165
1823     And I doe {doubt, the hatch} <doubt the hatch,> and the disclose	3.1.166
1824     VVill be some danger; which {for} to preuent,	3.1.167
1825     I haue in quick determination	3.1.168
1826     Thus set it downe: he shall with speede to England,	3.1.169
1827     For the demaund of our neglected tribute,	3.1.170
1828     Haply the seas, and countries different,	3.1.171
1829     With variable obiects, shall expell	3.1.172
1830     This something setled matter in his hart,	3.1.173
1831     Whereon his braines still beating	3.1.174
1831-2 Puts him thus | from fashion of himselfe.
1832     What thinke you on't?	3.1.175
1833      Pol. It shall doe well.	3.1.176
1833-4 But yet doe I belieue | the origin and comencement of {his} <this> greefe,
1835     Sprung from neglected loue: How now Ophelia?	3.1.178
1836     You neede not tell vs what Lord Hamlet said,	3.1.179
1837     We heard it all: my Lord, doe as you please,	3.1.180
1838     But if you hold it fit, after the play,	3.1.181
1839     Let his Queene-mother all alone intreate him	3.1.182
1840     To show his {griefe,} <Greefes:> let her be round with him,	3.1.183
1841     And Ile be plac'd (so please you) in the eare	3.1.184
1842     Of all their conference, if she find him not,	3.1.185
1843     To England send him: or confine him where	3.1.186
1844     Your wisedome best shall thinke.	3.1.187
1845      King. It shall be so,	3.1.187
1846-7 Madnes in great ones must not {vnmatcht} <vnwatch'd> goe.        | Exeunt.
1848     Enter Hamlet, and <two or > three of the Players.	..
1849-50  Ham. Speake the speech I pray you as I {pronoun'd} <pronounc'd> | it to you, trip-
1850-1 pingly on the tongue, but if you mouth it | as many of {our} <your> Players do,
1851-2 I had as liue the towne cryer | <had> spoke my lines, nor doe not saw the ayre
1852-3 too much {with} | your hand thus, but vse all gently, for in the very tor-
1854-5 rent tempest, and as I may say, <the> whirlwind of {your} | passion, you must
1855-6 acquire and beget a temperance, that | may giue it smoothnesse, ô it
1856-7 offends mee to the soule, | to {heare} <see> a robustious perwig-pated fellowe
1858     {G4} tere a {passion to totters}<Passi-| on to tatters>, to very rags, to {spleet} <split> the eares of the | ground-	3.2.10
1859-60 lings, vvho for the most part are capable of | nothing but inexplica-
1860-1 ble dumbe showes, and noyse: I {would} <could> | haue such a fellow whipt for
1861-2 ore-dooing Termagant, it out Herods Herod, pray you auoyde it.
1863      Player. I warrant your honour.	3.2.15
1864-5  Hamlet. Be not too tame neither, but let your owne | discretion be
1865-6 your tutor, sute the action to the word, | the word to the action, with
1866-7 this speciall obseruance, | that you {ore-steppe} <ore-stop> not the modestie of na-
1867-8 ture: For any | thing so {ore-doone} <ouer-done>, is from the purpose of playing,
1868-9 whose | end both at the first, and novve, was and is, to holde as twere
1870-1 the Mirrour vp to nature, to shew vertue her <owne> | feature; scorne her own
1871-2 Image, and the very age and | body of the time his forme and pressure:
1872-3 Now this | ouer-done, or come tardie off, though it {makes} <make> the vnskil-
1874-5 full laugh, cannot but make the iudicious greeue, the | censure of
1875-6 <the> which one, must in your allowance ore-| weigh a whole Theater of o-
1876-7 thers. O there be Players | that I haue seene play, and heard others
1877-8 {praysd} <praise>, and that | highly, not to speake it prophanely, that neither ha-
1878-80 uing {th'accent} | <the accent> of Christians, nor the gate of Christian, Pagan, {nor}
1880-1 {man} | <or Norman>, haue so strutted & bellowed, that I haue | thought some of Na-
1881-2 tures Iornimen had made men, | and not made them well, they imita-
1882-3 ted humanitie so {abhominably} <ab-| hominably>.
1884-5  Player. I hope we haue reform'd that indifferently with | vs <, Sir>.
1886-7  Ham. O reforme it altogether, and let those that | play your clownes
1887-8 speake no more then is set downe for | them, for there be of them that
1888-9 wil themselues laugh, | to set on some quantitie of barraine spectators
1889-91 to laugh | to, though in the meane time, some necessary question | of
1891-2 the play be then to be considered, that's villanous, and | shewes a most
1892-3 pittifull ambition in the foole that vses | it: goe make you readie. <Exit Players.> {How}
1894     <Enter Polonius, Rosincrance, and Guildensterne>.	..
1895-6 <How> now my Lord, | will the King heare this peece of worke?
1896-7 {Enter Polonius, Guyldensterne, & Rosencraus.}
Pol. And the Queene to, and that presently.
1898-9  Ham. Bid the Players make hast. <Exit Polonius.> | Will you two help to hasten tho(-,e) .
1900      {Ros. I my Lord} <Both. We will my Lord>. Exeunt {they two.}	3.2.51
1901     <Enter Horatio.>	..
1902      Ham. What {howe} <hoa>, Horatio.   {Enter Horatio.}	3.2.52
1903      Hora. Heere sweet Lord, at your seruice.	3.2.53
1904      Ham. Horatio, thou art een as iust a man	3.2.54
1905     As ere my conuersation copt withall.	3.2.55
1906      Hor. O my deere Lord.	3.2.56
1907     {G4v}  <Ham.> Nay, doe not thinke I flatter,	3.2.56
1908     For what aduancement may I hope from thee	3.2.57
1909     That no reuenew hast but thy good spirits	3.2.58
1910     To feede and clothe thee, why should the poore be flatterd?	3.2.
1911     No, let the candied {tongue licke} <tongue, like> absurd pompe,	3.2.60
1912     And crooke the pregnant hindges of the knee	3.2.61
1913     Where thrift may follow {fauning;} <faining?> doost thou heare,	3.2.62
1914     Since my deare soule was mistris of {her} <my> choice,	3.2.63
1915     And could of men distinguish <,> her election{,}	3.2.64
1916     {S'hath} <Hath> seald thee for herselfe, for thou hast been	3.2.65
1917     As one in suffring all that suffers nothing,	3.2.66
1918     A man that Fortunes buffets and rewards	3.2.67
1919     {Hast}<Hath> tane with equall thanks; and blest are those	3.2.68
1920     Whose blood and iudgement are so well {comedled} <co-mingled>,	3.2.69
1921     That they are not a pype for Fortunes finger	3.2.70
1922     To sound what stop she please: giue me that man	3.2.71
1923     That is not passions slaue, and I will weare him	3.2.72
1924     In my harts core, I in my hart of hart	3.2.73
1925     As I doe thee. Something too much of this,	3.2.74
1926     There is a play to night before the King,	3.2.75
1927     One scene of it comes neere the circumstance	3.2.76
1928     Which I haue told thee of my fathers death,	3.2.77
1929     I prethee when thou seest that act a foote,	3.2.78
1930     Euen with the very comment of {thy} <my> soule	3.2.79
1931     Obserue {my} <mine> Vncle, if his occulted guilt	3.2.80
1932     Doe not it selfe vnkennill in one speech,	3.2.81
1933     It is a damned ghost that we haue seene,	3.2.82
1934     And my imaginations are as foule	3.2.83
1935     As Vulcans {stithy;} <Stythe.> giue him {heedfull} <needfull> note,	3.2.84
1936     For I mine eyes will riuet to his face,	3.2.85
1937     And after we will both our iudgements ioyne	3.2.86
1938     {In} <To> censure of his seeming.	3.2.87
1939      Hor. Well my lord,	3.2.87
1940     If {a} <he> steale ought the whilst this play is playing	3.2.88
1941     And scape {detected} <detecting>, I will pay the theft.	3.2.89

1949-50 Of the Camelions dish, I eate | the ayre,
1950     Promiscram'd, you cannot feede Capons so.	3.2.95
1951      King. I haue nothing with this aunswer Hamlet,	3.2.97

1953      Ham. No, nor mine now my Lord.	3.2.99
1953-4 You playd once | i'th Vniuersitie you say,
1955-6  Pol. That {did I} <I did> my Lord, and was accounted a good | Actor,

1958      Pol. I did enact Iulius Cæsar, I was kild i'th Capitall,	3.2.104
1959     Brutus kild mee.	3.2.104
1960-1  Ham. It was a brute part of him to kill so capitall a | calfe there,
1961     Be the Players readie?	3.2.106
1962      Ros. I my Lord, they stay vpon your patience.	3.2.107

2031     Make vs againe count ore ere loue be doone,	3.2.162
2032     But woe is me, you are so sicke of late,	3.2.163

2048     None wed the second, but who kild the first. {Ham. That's}	3.2.180

2050      <Bapt.> The instances that second marriage moue {wormwood}	3.2.182
2051     Are base respects of thrift, but none of loue,	3.2.183
2052     A second time I kill my husband dead,	3.2.184
2053     When second husband kisses me in bed.	3.2.185
2054      King. I doe belieue {you thinke} <you. Think> what now you speake,	3.2.186
2055     But what we doe determine, oft we breake,	3.2.187
2056     Purpose is but the slaue to memorie,	3.2.188
2057     Of violent birth, but poore validitie,	3.2.189
2058     Which now {the} <like> fruite vnripe sticks on the tree,	3.2.190
2059     But fall vnshaken when they mellow bee.	3.2.191
2060     Most necessary tis that we forget	3.2.192
2061     To pay our selues what to our selues is debt,	3.2.193
2062     What to our selues in passion we propose,	3.2.194
2063     The passion ending, doth the purpose lose,	3.2.195
2064     The violence of {eyther,} <other> griefe, or ioy,	3.2.196
2065     Their owne {ennactures} <ennactors> with themselues destroy,	3.2.197
2066     Where ioy most reuels, griefe doth most lament,	3.2.198

2068     This world is not for aye, nor tis not strange,	3.2.200
2069     That euen our loues should with our fortunes change:	3.2.201
2070     For tis a question left vs yet to proue,	3.2.202
2071     Whether loue lead fortune, or els fortune loue.	3.2.203
2072     The great man downe, you marke his {fauourite} <fauourites> flyes,	3.2.204
2073     {H2v} The poore aduaunc'd, makes friends of enemies,	3.2.205
2074     And hetherto doth loue on fortune tend,	3.2.206
2075     For who not needes, shall neuer lacke a friend,	3.2.207
2076     And who in want a hollow friend doth try,	3.2.208
2077     Directly seasons him his enemy.	3.2.209
2078     But orderly to end where I begunne,	3.2.210
2079     Our wills and fates doe so contrary runne,	3.2.211
2080     That our deuises still are ouerthrowne,	3.2.212
2081     Our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our owne,	3.2.213
2082     So thinke thou wilt no second husband wed,	3.2.214
2083     But die thy thoughts when thy first Lord is dead.	3.2.215
2084      {Quee} <Bap>.. Nor earth to {me giue} <giue me> foode, nor heauen light,	3.2.216

2091-2  King. Tis deeply sworne, | sweet leaue me heere a while,
2093     My spirits grow dull, and faine I would beguile	3.2.226
2094     The tedious day with sleepe.	3.2.227

2097      Ham. Madam, how like you this play?	3.2.229
2098      Quee. The Lady {doth protest} <protests> too much mee thinks.	3.2.230
2099      Ham. O but shee'le keepe her word.	3.2.231
2100-1  King. Haue you heard the argument? is there no {offence} <Of-| fence> in't?
2102-3  Ham. No, no, they do but iest, poyson in iest, no {offence} <Of-| fence> i'th world.
2104      King. What doe you call the play?	3.2.236
2105-6  Ham. The Mousetrap, mary how tropically, | this play is the Image
2106-7 of a murther doone in Vienna, {Gonszago} <Gon-| zago> is the Dukes name, his wife
2107-8 Baptista, you shall see | anon, tis a knauish peece of worke, but what {of}

2116      Oph. You are keene my lord, you are keene.	3.2.248

2174      Guyl. No my Lord, <rather> with choller,	3.2.303
2175-6  Ham. Your wisedome should shewe it selfe more {richer} <ri-| cher> to signifie
2176-7 this to {the} <his> Doctor, for, for mee to put him | to his purgation, would
2177-8 perhaps plunge him into <farre> | more choller.

2211-2  Ros. How can that be, when you haue the voyce of | the King him-
2212     selfe for your succession in Denmarke.	3.2.342

2213-4  Ham. I {sir}, but while the grasse growes, the prouerbe is something
2214-6 musty, | <Enter one with a Recorder.>| ô the {Recorders}, <Recorder> let mee see {one}, to withdraw with you, why
2217-8 doe you goe about to recouer the wind of mee, as if you | would driue

2219-20  Guyl. O my lord, if my duty be too bold, my loue | is too vnmanerly.
2221-2  Ham. I do not wel vnderstand that, wil you play | vpon this pipe?
2223      Guyl. My lord I cannot.	3.2.352

2232-3  Guil. But these cannot I commaund to any vttrance | of harmonie, I
2233     haue not the skill.	3.2.362
2234-5  Ham. Why looke you now how vnwoorthy a thing | you make of
2235-6 me, you would play vpon mee, you would | seeme to know my stops,
2236-7 you would plucke out the hart | of my mistery, you would sound mee

2305     And as you sayd, and wisely was it sayd,	3.3.30

2314     A brothers murther, pray can I not,	3.3.38
2315     Though inclination be as sharp as will,	3.3.39
2316     My stronger guilt defeats my strong entent,	3.3.40
2317     And like a man to double bussines bound,	3.3.41
2318     I stand in pause where I shall first beginne,	3.3.42
2319     And both neglect, what if this cursed hand	3.3.43
2320     Were thicker then it selfe with brothers blood,	3.3.44
2321     Is there not raine enough in the sweete Heauens	3.3.45
2322     To wash it white as snowe, whereto serues mercy	3.3.46
2323     But to confront the visage of offence?	3.3.47
2324     And what's in prayer but this two fold force,	3.3.48
2325     To be forestalled ere we come to fall,	3.3.49
2326     Or {pardon} <pardon'd> being downe, then I'le looke vp.	3.3.50

2329     That cannot be since I am still possest	3.3.53
2330     Of those effects for which I did the murther;	3.3.54

2337     There is no shufling, there the action lies	3.3.61
2338     In his true nature, and we our selues compeld	3.3.62
2339     Euen to the teeth and forhead of our faults	3.3.63

2351     And now Ile doo't, and so {a} <he> goes to heauen,	3.3.74
2352     And so am I {reuendge} <reueng'd>, that would be scand	3.3.75

2359     But in our circumstance and course of thought,	3.3.83
2360     Tis heauy with him: and am I then {reuendged} <reueng'd>	3.3.84
2361     To take him in the purging of his soule,	3.3.85

2366     At {game a} <gaming,> swearing, or about some act	3.3.91
2367     That has no relish of saluation in't,	3.3.92
2368     {I2} Then trip him that his heels may kick at heauen,	3.3.93
2369     And that his soule may be as damnd and black	3.3.94
2370     As hell whereto it goes; my mother staies,	3.3.95
2371     This phisick but prolongs thy sickly daies. Exit.	3.3.96
2372      King. My words fly vp, my thoughts remaine belowe	3.3.97

2388      {Ger.} <Qu.> Come, come, you answere with an idle tongue.	3.4.11
2389      Ham. Goe, goe, you question with {a wicked} <an idle> tongue.	3.4.12
2390      {Ger.} <Qu.> Why how now Hamlet?	3.4.13
2391      Ham. What's the matter now?	3.4.13

2402     {Helpe how} <Helpe, helpe, hoa>.	3.4.22
2403      Pol. What {how helpe} <hoa, helpe, helpe, helpe>.	3.4.23
2404      Ham. How now, a Rat, dead for a Duckat, dead.	3.4.24
2405      Pol. O I am slaine. <Killes Polon ius.>	3.4.25
2406      {Ger.} <Qu.> O me, what hast thou done?	3.4.25
2407      Ham, Nay I knowe not, is it the King?	3.4.26
2408     {I2v}  {Ger.} <Qu.> O what a rash and bloody deede is this.	3.4.27
2409      Ham. A bloody deede, almost as bad, good mother	3.4.28

2421      {Ger.} <Qu.> What haue I done, that thou dar'st wagge thy tongue	3.4.39
2422     In noise so rude against me?	3.4.40
2423      Ham. Such an act	3.4.40
2424     That blurres the grace and blush of modesty,	3.4.41
2425     Cals vertue hippocrit, takes of the Rose	3.4.42
2426     From the faire forhead of an innocent loue,	3.4.43
2427     And {sets} <makes> a blister there, makes marriage vowes	3.4.44
2428     As false as dicers oathes, ô such a deede,	3.4.45
2429     <pp2> As from the body of contraction plucks	3.4.
2430     The very soule, and sweet religion makes	3.4.47
2431     A rapsedy of words; heauens face {dooes} <doth> glowe	3.4.48
2432     {Ore} <Yea> this solidity and compound masse	3.4.49

2435      Quee. Ay me, what act?	3.4.52
2435-6  {Ham.} That roares so low'd, and {thunders} <thun-| ders> in the Index,
2437     <Ham.> Looke heere vpon this Picture, and on this,	3.4.53
2438     The counterfeit presentment of two brothers,	3.4.54
2439     See what a grace was seated on {this} <his> browe,	3.4.55
2440     Hiperions curles, the front of Ioue himselfe,	3.4.56
2441     An eye like Mars, to threaten {and} <or> command,	3.4.57
2442     A station like the herald Mercury,	3.4.58
2443     New lighted on a {heaue, a kissing} <heauen-kissing> hill,	3.4.59
2444     A combination, and a forme indeede,	3.4.60
2445     Where euery God did seeme to set his seale	3.4.61
2446     To giue the world assurance of a man,	3.4.62
2447     {I3} This was your husband, looke you now what followes,	3.4.63
2448     Heere is your husband like a mildewed eare,	3.4.64
2449     Blasting his wholsome {brother,} <breath.> haue you eyes,	3.4.65
2450     Could you on this faire mountaine leaue to feede,	3.4.66
2451     And batten on this Moore; ha, haue you eyes?	3.4.67
2452     You cannot call it loue, for at your age	3.4.68
2453     The heyday in the blood is tame, it's humble,	3.4.69
2454     And waits vppon the iudgement, and what iudgement	3.4.70
2455     Would step from this to this, {sence sure youe haue}	3.4.71
2455+1 {Els could you not haue motion, but sure that sence}	3.4.72
2455+2 {Is appoplext, for madnesse would not erre}	3.4.73
2455+3 {Nor sence to extacie was nere so thral'd}	3.4.74
2455+4 {But it reseru'd some quantity of choise}	3.4.75
2455+5 {To serue in such a difference,} what deuill wast
2456     That thus hath cosund you at hodman blind;	3.4.77
2456+1 {Eyes without feeling, feeling without sight,}	3.4.78
2456+2 {Eares without hands, or eyes, smelling sance all,}	3.4.79
2456+3 {Or but a sickly part of one true sence}	3.4.80
2456+4 {Could not so mope:} ô shame where is thy blush?	3.4.81
2457     Rebellious hell,	3.4.82
2458     If thou canst mutine in a Matrons bones,	3.4.83
2459     To flaming youth let vertue be as wax	3.4.84
2460     And melt in her owne fire, proclaime no shame	3.4.85
2461     When the compulsiue ardure giues the charge,	3.4.86
2462     Since frost it selfe as actiuely doth burne,	3.4.87
2463     {And} <As> reason {pardons} <panders> will.	3.4.88
2464      {Ger.} <Qu.> O Hamlet speake no more,	3.4.88
2465     Thou turnst {my very} <mine> eyes into my <very> soule,	3.4.89
2466     And there I see such blacke and {greeued} <grained> spots	3.4.90
2467     As will <not> leaue {there} their tin'ct.	3.4.91
2468      Ham. Nay but to liue	3.4.91
2469     In the ranck sweat of an inseemed bed	3.4.92
2470     Stewed in corruption, honying, and making loue	3.4.93
2471     Ouer the nasty stie.	3.4.94
2472      {Ger.} <Qu.> O speake to me no more,	3.4.94
2473     These words like daggers enter in {my} <mine> eares,	3.4.95
2474     No more sweete Hamlet.	3.4.96
2475      Ham. A murtherer and a villaine,	3.4.96
2476     A slaue that is not twentith part the {kyth} <tythe>	3.4.97
2477     {I3v} Of your precedent Lord, a vice of Kings,	3.4.98
2478     A cut-purse of the Empire and the rule,	3.4.99
2479     That from a shelfe the precious Diadem stole	3.4.100
2480     And put it in his pocket.	3.4.101
2481      {Ger.} <Qu.> No more.	3.4.101
2482     Enter Ghost.	..
2483      Ham. A King of shreds and patches,	3.4.102
2484     Saue me and houer ore me with your wings	3.4.103
2485     You heauenly gards: what would {your} <you> gracious figure?	3.4.104
2486      {Ger.} <Qu.> Alas hee's mad.	3.4.105
2487      Ham. Doe you not come your tardy sonne to chide,	3.4.106
2488     That lap'st in time and passion lets goe by	3.4.107
2489     Th'important acting of your dread command, ô say.	3.4.109
2490      Ghost. Doe not forget, this visitation	3.4.110
2491     Is but to whet thy almost blunted purpose,	3.4.111
2492     But looke, amazement on thy mother sits,	3.4.112
2493     O step betweene her, and her fighting soule,	3.4.113
2494     Conceit in weakest bodies strongest workes,	3.4.114
2495     Speake to her Hamlet.	3.4.115
2496      Ham. How is it with you Lady?	3.4.115
2497      {Ger.} <Qu.> Alas how i'st with you?	3.4.116
2498     That you {doe} bend your eye on vacancie,	3.4.117
2499     And with {th'incorporall} <their corporall> ayre doe hold discourse,	3.4.118
2500     Foorth at your eyes your spirits wildly peep,	3.4.119
2501     And as the sleeping souldiers in th'alarme,	3.4.120
2502     Your bedded haire like life in excrements	3.4.121
2503     Start vp and stand an end, ô gentle sonne	3.4.122
2504     Vpon the heat and flame of thy distemper	3.4.123
2505     Sprinckle coole patience, whereon doe you looke?	3.4.124
2506      Ham. On him, on him, looke you how pale he glares,	3.4.125
2507     His forme and cause conioynd, preaching to stones	3.4.126
2508     Would make them capable, doe not looke vpon me,	3.4.127
2509     Least with this pittious action you conuert	3.4.128
2510     My stearne effects, then what I haue to doe	3.4.129
2511     Will want true cullour, teares perchance for blood.	3.4.130
2512      {Ger.} <Qu.> To {whom} <who> doe you speake this?	3.4.131
2513      Ham. Doe you see nothing there?	3.4.131
2514      {Ger.} <Qu.> Nothing at all, yet all that is I see.	3.4.132
2515      Ham. Nor did you nothing heare?	3.4.133
2516      {Ger.} <Qu.> No nothing but our selues.	3.4.133
2517     {I4}  Ham. Why looke you there, looke how it steales away,	3.4.134
2518     My father in his habit as he liued,	3.4.135
2519     Looke where he goes, euen now out at the portall. Exit {Ghost}.	3.4.136
2520      {Ger.} <Qu.> This is the very coynage of your braine,	3.4.137
2521     This bodilesse creation extacie is very cunning in.	3.4.139
2522      <Ham. Extasie?>	3.4.139
2523      {Ham.} My pulse as yours doth temperatly keepe time,	3.4.140
2524     And makes as healthfull musicke, it is not madnesse	3.4.141
2525     That I haue vttred, bring me to the test,	3.4.142
2526     And <I> the matter will reword, which madnesse	3.4.143
2527     Would gambole from, mother for loue of grace,	3.4.144
2528     Lay not {that} <a> flattering vnction to your soule	3.4.145
2529     That not your trespasse but my madnesse speakes,	3.4.146
2530     It will but skin and filme the vlcerous place	3.4.147
2531     {Whiles} <Whil'st> ranck corruption mining all within	3.4.148
2532     Infects vnseene, confesse your selfe to heauen,	3.4.149
2533     Repent what's past, auoyd what is to come,	3.4.150
2534     And doe not spread the compost {on} <or> the weedes	3.4.151
2535     To make them {rancker,} <ranke.> forgiue me this my vertue,	3.4.152
2536     For in the fatnesse of {these} <this> pursie times	3.4.153

3299-3300 chers vouch him no more of his purchases & {doubles} <dou-| ble ones too,> then the length

3370      Ham. This?	5.1.182
3371   Clow. Een that.	5.1.183
3372-3  Ham. <Let me see.> Alas poore Yoricke, I knew him {Horatio} <Ho-| ratio>, a fellow of infinite	5.1.184
3373-4 iest, of most excellent fancie, hee | hath {bore} <borne> me on his backe a thou-	5.1.185
3374-5 sand times, and {now} how | abhorred {in} my imagination {it} is: my gorge

3387      Hora. Een so.	5.1.199
3388      Ham. And smelt so pah.	5.1.200

3392     a bunghole?	5.1.204
3393      Hor. Twere to consider too curiously to consider so.	5.1.206
3394-5  Ham. No faith, not a iot, but to follow him thether | with modesty
3395-6 enough, and likelyhood to leade it <as thus>. | Alexander dyed, Alexander was
3396-7 buried, Alexander {returneth to} <re-| turneth into> dust, the dust is earth, of earth vvee
3397-9 make | Lome, & why of that Lome whereto he was {conuerted,} <conuer-| ted)> might

3400     {Imperious} <Imperiall> Cæsar dead, and turn'd to Clay,	5.1.213
3401     Might stoppe a hole, to keepe the wind away.	5.1.214

3403     Should patch a wall t'expell the {waters} <winters> flaw.	5.1.216
3404     But soft, but soft {awhile,} <aside;> here comes the King, {Enter K. Q.}	5.1.217

3421     Yet heere she is allow'd her virgin {Crants} <Rites>,	5.1.232
3422     Her mayden strewments, and the bringing home	5.1.233
3423     Of bell and buriall.	5.1.234
3424      Laer. Must there no more be doone?	5.1.235
3425      {Doct.} <Priest.> No more be doone.	5.1.235
3426     We should prophane the seruice of the dead,	5.1.236
3427     To sing {a} <sage> Requiem and such rest to her	5.1.237
3428     As to peace-parted soules.	5.1.238

3538     {Th'effect} <The effects> of what I wrote?	5.2.37
3539      Hora. I good my Lord.	5.2.37
3540      Ham. An earnest coniuration from the King,	5.2.38
3541     As England was his faithfull tributary,	5.2.39
3542     As loue betweene them {like} <as> the palme {might} <should> florish,	5.2.40
3543     As peace should still her wheaten garland weare	5.2.41
3544     And stand a Comma tweene their amities,	5.2.42
3545     And many such like, {as sir} <Assis> of great charge,	5.2.43
