1 Enter Hamlet and three of the Players.
2 Hamlet.
3 Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounc'd it to you,
4 trippingly on the tongue. But if you mouth it, as many of our
5 players do, I had as live the town crier spoke my lines. Nor do
6 not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all
7 gently; for in the very torrent, tempest, and(as I may say)
8 whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire and beget a
9 temperance that may give it smoothness. O, it offends me to the
10 soul to hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow tear a passion to
11 tatters, to very rags, to split the cars of the groundlings, who
12 (for the most part)are capable of nothing but inexplicable dumb
13 shows and noise. I would have such a fellow whipp'd for o'erdoing
14 Termagant. It out-herods Herod. Pray you avoid it.
15 First Player.
16 I warrant your honour.
17 Hamlet.
18 Be not too tame neither; but let your own discretion be your
19 tutor. Suit the action to the word, the word to the action; with
20 this special observance, that you o'erstep not the modesty of
21 nature: for anything so overdone is from the purpose of playing,
22 whose end, both at the first and now, was and is, to hold, as
23 'twere, the mirror up to nature; to show Virtue her own feature,
24 scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time his
25 form and pressure. Now this overdone, or come tardy off, though
26 it make the unskilful laugh, cannot but make the judicious
27 grieve; the censure of the which one must in your allowance
28 o'erweigh a whole theatre of others. O, there be players that I
29 have seen play, and heard others praise, and that highly(not to
30 speak it profanely), that, neither having the accent of
31 Christians, nor the gait of Christian, pagan, nor man, have so
32 strutted and bellowed that I have thought some of Nature's
33 journeymen had made men, and not made them well, they imitated
34 humanity so abominably.
35 First Player.
36 I hope we have reform'd that indifferently with us, sir.
37 Hamlet.
38 O, reform it altogether! And let those that play your clowns
39 speak no more than is set down for them. For there be of them
40 that will themselves laugh, to set on some quantity of barren
41 spectators to laugh too, though in the mean time some necessary
42 question of the play be then to be considered. That's villanous
43 and shows a most pitiful ambition in the fool that uses it. Go
44 make you ready.
45 [Exeunt Players.]
46 [Enter Polonius, Rosencrantz, and Guildenstern.]
47 How now, my lord? Will the King hear this piece of work?
48 Polonius.
49 And the Queen too, and that presently.
50 Hamlet.
51 Bid the players make haste,[Exit Polonius.]Will you two
52 help to hasten them?
53 Rosencrantz.
54 [with Guildenstern]We will, my lord.
55 Exeunt they two.
56 Hamlet.
57 What, ho, Horatio!
58 Enter Horatio.
59 Horatio.
60 Here, sweet lord, at your service.
61 Hamlet.
62 Horatio, thou art e'en as just a man
63 As e'er my conversation cop'd withal.
64 Horatio.
65 O, my dear lord!
66 Hamlet.
67 Nay, do not think I flatter;
68 For what advancement may I hope from thee,
69 That no revenue hast but thy good spirits
70 To feed and clothe thee? Why should the poor be flatter'd?
71 No, let the candied tongue lick absurd pomp,
72 And crook the pregnant hinges of the knee
73 Where thrift may follow fawning. Dost thou hear?
74 Since my dear soul was mistress of her choice
75 And could of men distinguish, her election
76 Hath seal'd thee for herself. For thou hast been
77 As one, in suff'ring all, that suffers nothing;
78 A man that Fortune's buffets and rewards
79 Hast ta'en with equal thanks; and blest are those
80 Whose blood and judgment are so well commingled
81 That they are not a pipe for Fortune's finger
82 To sound what stop she please. Give me that man
83 That is not passion's slave, and I will wear him
84 In my heart's core, ay, in my heart of heart,
85 As I do thee. Something too much of this I
86 There is a play to-night before the King.
87 One scene of it comes near the circumstance,
88 Which I have told thee, of my father's death.
89 I prithee, when thou seest that act afoot,
90 Even with the very comment of thy soul
91 Observe my uncle. If his occulted guilt
92 Do not itself unkennel in one speech,
93 It is a damned ghost that we have seen,
94 And my imaginations are as foul
95 As Vulcan's stithy. Give him heedful note;
96 For I mine eyes will rivet to his face,
97 And after we will both our judgments join
98 In censure of his seeming.
99 Horatio.
100 Well, my lord.
101 If he steal aught the whilst this play is playing,
102 And scape detecting, I will pay the theft.
103 Sound a flourish.[Enter Trumpets and Kettledrums. Danish
104 march. [Enter King, Queen, Polonius, Ophelia, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern,
105 and other Lords attendant, with the Guard carrying torches.]
106 Hamlet.
107 They are coming to the play. I must be idle.
108 Get you a place.
109 Claudius.
110 How fares our cousin Hamlet?
111 Hamlet.
112 Excellent, i' faith; of the chameleon's dish. I eat the air,
113 promise-cramm'd. You cannot feed capons so.
114 Claudius.
115 I have nothing with this answer, Hamlet. These words are not
116 mine.
117 Hamlet.
118 No, nor mine now.[To Polonius]My lord, you play'd once
119 i' th' university, you say?
120 Polonius.
121 That did I, my lord, and was accounted a good actor.
122 Hamlet.
123 What did you enact?
124 Polonius.
125 I did enact Julius Caesar; I was kill'd i' th' Capitol; Brutus
126 kill'd me.
127 Hamlet.
128 It was a brute part of him to kill so capital a calf there. Be
129 the players ready.
130 Rosencrantz.
131 Ay, my lord. They stay upon your patience.
132 Gertrude.
133 Come hither, my dear Hamlet, sit by me.
134 Hamlet.
135 No, good mother. Here's metal more attractive.
136 Polonius.
137 [to the King]O, ho! do you mark that?
138 Hamlet.
139 Lady, shall I lie in your lap?
140 [Sits down at Ophelia's feet.]
141 Ophelia.
142 No, my lord.
143 Hamlet.
144 I mean, my head upon your lap?
145 Ophelia.
146 Ay, my lord.
147 Hamlet.
148 Do you think I meant country matters?
149 Ophelia.
150 I think nothing, my lord.
151 Hamlet.
152 That's a fair thought to lie between maids' legs.
153 Ophelia.
154 What is, my lord?
155 Hamlet.
156 Nothing.
157 Ophelia.
158 You are merry, my lord.
159 Hamlet.
160 Who, I?
161 Ophelia.
162 Ay, my lord.
163 Hamlet.
164 O God, your only jig-maker! What should a man do but be merry?
165 For look you how cheerfully my mother looks, and my father died
166 within 's two hours.
167 Ophelia.
168 Nay 'tis twice two months, my lord.
169 Hamlet.
170 So long? Nay then, let the devil wear black, for I'll have a
171 suit of sables. O heavens! die two months ago, and not forgotten
172 yet? Then there's hope a great man's memory may outlive his life
173 half a year. But, by'r Lady, he must build churches then; or else
174 shall he suffer not thinking on, with the hobby-horse, whose
175 epitaph is 'For O, for O, the hobby-horse is forgot!'
176 [Hautboys play. The dumb show enters.]
177 Enter a King and a Queen very lovingly; the Queen embracing
178 him and he her. She kneels, and makes show of protestation
179 unto him. He takes her up, and declines his head upon her
180 neck. He lays him down upon a bank of flowers. She, seeing
181 him asleep, leaves him. Anon comes in a fellow, takes off his
182 crown, kisses it, pours poison in the sleeper's ears, and
183 leaves him. The Queen returns, finds the King dead, and makes
184 passionate action. The Poisoner with some three or four Mutes,
185 comes in again, seem to condole with her. The dead body is
186 carried away. The Poisoner wooes the Queen with gifts; she
187 seems harsh and unwilling awhile, but in the end accepts
188 his love.
189 Exeunt.
190 Ophelia.
191 What means this, my lord?
192 Hamlet.
193 Marry, this is miching malhecho; it means mischief.
194 Ophelia.
195 Belike this show imports the argument of the play.
196 Enter Prologue.
197 Hamlet.
198 We shall know by this fellow. The players cannot keep counsel;
199 they'll tell all.
200 Ophelia.
201 Will he tell us what this show meant?
202 Hamlet.
203 Ay, or any show that you'll show him. Be not you asham'd to
204 show, he'll not shame to tell you what it means.
205 Ophelia.
206 You are naught, you are naught! I'll mark the play.
207 Pro. For us, and for our tragedy,
208 Here stooping to your clemency,
209 We beg your hearing patiently.[Exit.]
210 Hamlet.
211 Is this a prologue, or the posy of a ring?
212 Ophelia.
213 'Tis brief, my lord.
214 Hamlet.
215 As woman's love.
216 Enter [two Players as] King and Queen.
217 Player King.
218 Full thirty times hath Phoebus' cart gone round
219 Neptune's salt wash and Tellus' orbed ground,
220 And thirty dozen moons with borrowed sheen
221 About the world have times twelve thirties been,
222 Since love our hearts, and Hymen did our hands,
223 Unite comutual in most sacred bands.
224 Player Queen.
225 So many journeys may the sun and moon
226 Make us again count o'er ere love be done!
227 But woe is me! you are so sick of late,
228 So far from cheer and from your former state.
229 That I distrust you. Yet, though I distrust,
230 Discomfort you, my lord, it nothing must;
231 For women's fear and love holds quantity,
232 In neither aught, or in extremity.
233 Now what my love is, proof hath made you know;
234 And as my love is siz'd, my fear is so.
235 Where love is great, the littlest doubts are fear;
236 Where little fears grow great, great love grows there.
237 Player King.
238 Faith, I must leave thee, love, and shortly too;
239 My operant powers their functions leave to do.
240 And thou shalt live in this fair world behind,
241 Honour'd, belov'd, and haply one as kind
242 For husband shalt thou-
243 Player Queen.
244 O, confound the rest!
245 Such love must needs be treason in my breast.
246 When second husband let me be accurst!
247 None wed the second but who killed the first.
248 Hamlet.
249 [aside]Wormwood, wormwood!
250 Queen. The instances that second marriage move
251 Are base respects of thrift, but none of love.
252 A second time I kill my husband dead
253 When second husband kisses me in bed.
254 Player King.
255 I do believe you think what now you speak;
256 But what we do determine oft we break.
257 Purpose is but the slave to memory,
258 Of violent birth, but poor validity;
259 Which now, like fruit unripe, sticks on the tree,
260 But fall unshaken when they mellow be.
261 Most necessary 'tis that we forget
262 To pay ourselves what to ourselves is debt.
263 What to ourselves in passion we propose,
264 The passion ending, doth the purpose lose.
265 The violence of either grief or joy
266 Their own enactures with themselves destroy.
267 Where joy most revels, grief doth most lament;
268 Grief joys, joy grieves, on slender accident.
269 This world is not for aye, nor 'tis not strange
270 That even our loves should with our fortunes change;
271 For 'tis a question left us yet to prove,
272 Whether love lead fortune, or else fortune love.
273 The great man down, you mark his favourite flies,
274 The poor advanc'd makes friends of enemies;
275 And hitherto doth love on fortune tend,
276 For who not needs shall never lack a friend,
277 And who in want a hollow friend doth try,
278 Directly seasons him his enemy.
279 But, orderly to end where I begun,
280 Our wills and fates do so contrary run
281 That our devices still are overthrown;
282 Our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our own.
283 So think thou wilt no second husband wed;
284 But die thy thoughts when thy first lord is dead.
285 Player Queen.
286 Nor earth to me give food, nor heaven light,
287 Sport and repose lock from me day and night,
288 To desperation turn my trust and hope,
289 An anchor's cheer in prison be my scope,
290 Each opposite that blanks the face of joy
291 Meet what I would have well, and it destroy,
292 Both here and hence pursue me lasting strife,
293 If, once a widow, ever I be wife!
294 Hamlet.
295 If she should break it now!
296 Player King.
297 'Tis deeply sworn. Sweet, leave me here awhile.
298 My spirits grow dull, and fain I would beguile
299 The tedious day with sleep.
300 Player Queen.
301 Sleep rock thy brain,
302 He sleeps.]
303 Player Queen.
304 And never come mischance between us twain!
305 Exit.
306 Hamlet.
307 Madam, how like you this play?
308 Gertrude.
309 The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
310 Hamlet.
311 O, but she'll keep her word.
312 Claudius.
313 Have you heard the argument? Is there no offence in't?
314 Hamlet.
315 No, no! They do but jest, poison in jest; no offence i' th'
316 world.
317 Claudius.
318 What do you call the play?
319 Hamlet.
320 'The Mousetrap.' Marry, how? Tropically. This play is the
321 image of a murther done in Vienna. Gonzago is the duke's name;
322 his wife, Baptista. You shall see anon. 'Tis a knavish piece of
323 work; but what o' that? Your Majesty, and we that have free
324 souls, it touches us not. Let the gall'd jade winch; our withers
325 are unwrung.
326 Enter Lucianus.This is one Lucianus, nephew to the King.
327 Ophelia.
328 You are as good as a chorus, my lord.
329 Hamlet.
330 I could interpret between you and your love, if I could see
331 the puppets dallying.
332 Ophelia.
333 You are keen, my lord, you are keen.
334 Hamlet.
335 It would cost you a groaning to take off my edge.
336 Ophelia.
337 Still better, and worse.
338 Hamlet.
339 So you must take your husbands.- Begin, murtherer. Pox, leave
340 thy damnable faces, and begin! Come, the croaking raven doth
341 bellow for revenge.
342 Luc. Thoughts black, hands apt, drugs fit, and time agreeing; Confederate season, else no creature seeing; Thou mixture rank, of midnight weeds collected, With Hecate's ban thrice blasted, thrice infected, Thy natural magic and dire property On wholesome life usurp immediately.
343 Pours the poison in his ears.
344 Hamlet.
345 He poisons him i' th' garden for's estate. His name's Gonzago.
346 The story is extant, and written in very choice Italian. You
347 shall see anon how the murtherer gets the love of Gonzago's wife.
348 Ophelia.
349 The King rises.
350 Hamlet.
351 What, frighted with false fire?
352 Gertrude.
353 How fares my lord?
354 Polonius.
355 Give o'er the play.
356 Claudius.
357 Give me some light! Away!
358 All.
359 Lights, lights, lights!
360 Exeunt all but Hamlet and Horatio.
361 Hamlet.
362 Why, let the strucken deer go weep,
363 The hart ungalled play;
364 For some must watch, while some must sleep:
365 Thus runs the world away.
366 Would not this, sir, and a forest of feathers- if the rest of my
367 fortunes turn Turk with me-with two Provincial roses on my raz'd
368 shoes, get me a fellowship in a cry of players, sir?
369 Horatio.
370 Half a share.
371 Hamlet.
372 A whole one I!
373 For thou dost know, O Damon dear,
374 This realm dismantled was
375 Of Jove himself; and now reigns here
376 A very, very- pajock.
377 Horatio.
378 You might have rhym'd.
379 Hamlet.
380 O good Horatio, I'll take the ghost's word for a thousand
381 pound! Didst perceive?
382 Horatio.
383 Very well, my lord.
384 Hamlet.
385 Upon the talk of the poisoning?
386 Horatio.
387 I did very well note him.
388 Hamlet.
389 Aha! Come, some music! Come, the recorders!
390 For if the King like not the comedy,
391 Why then, belike he likes it not, perdy.
392 Come, some music!
393 Enter Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
394 Guildenstern.
395 Good my lord, vouchsafe me a word with you.
396 Hamlet.
397 Sir, a whole history.
398 Guildenstern.
399 The King, sir-
400 Hamlet.
401 Ay, sir, what of him?
402 Guildenstern.
403 Is in his retirement, marvellous distemper'd.
404 Hamlet.
405 With drink, sir?
406 Guildenstern.
407 No, my lord; rather with choler.
408 Hamlet.
409 Your wisdom should show itself more richer to signify this to
410 the doctor; for me to put him to his purgation would perhaps
411 plunge him into far more choler.
412 Guildenstern.
413 Good my lord, put your discourse into some frame, and start
414 not so wildly from my affair.
415 Hamlet.
416 I am tame, sir; pronounce.
417 Guildenstern.
418 The Queen, your mother, in most great affliction of spirit
419 hath sent me to you.
420 Hamlet.
421 You are welcome.
422 Guildenstern.
423 Nay, good my lord, this courtesy is not of the right breed.
424 If it shall please you to make me a wholesome answer, I will do
425 your mother's commandment; if not, your pardon and my return
426 shall be the end of my business.
427 Hamlet.
428 Sir, I cannot.
429 Guildenstern.
430 What, my lord?
431 Hamlet.
432 Make you a wholesome answer; my wit's diseas'd. But, sir, such
433 answer as I can make, you shall command; or rather, as you say,
434 my mother. Therefore no more, but to the matter! My mother, you
435 say-
436 Rosencrantz.
437 Then thus she says: your behaviour hath struck her into
438 amazement and admiration.
439 Hamlet.
440 O wonderful son, that can so stonish a mother! But is there no
441 sequel at the heels of this mother's admiration? Impart.
442 Rosencrantz.
443 She desires to speak with you in her closet ere you go to bed.
444 Hamlet.
445 We shall obey, were she ten times our mother. Have you any
446 further trade with us?
447 Rosencrantz.
448 My lord, you once did love me.
449 Hamlet.
450 And do still, by these pickers and stealers!
451 Rosencrantz.
452 Good my lord, what is your cause of distemper? You do surely
453 bar the door upon your own liberty, if you deny your griefs to
454 your friend.
455 Hamlet.
456 Sir, I lack advancement.
457 Rosencrantz.
458 How can that be, when you have the voice of the King himself
459 for your succession in Denmark?
460 Hamlet.
461 Ay, sir, but 'while the grass grows'- the proverb is something
462 musty.
463 [Enter the Players with recorders. ]
464 O, the recorders! Let me see one. To withdraw with you- why do
465 you go about to recover the wind of me, as if you would drive me
466 into a toil?
467 Guildenstern.
468 O my lord, if my duty be too bold, my love is too unmannerly.
469 Hamlet.
470 I do not well understand that. Will you play upon this pipe?
471 Guildenstern.
472 My lord, I cannot.
473 Hamlet.
474 I pray you.
475 Guildenstern.
476 Believe me, I cannot.
477 Hamlet.
478 I do beseech you.
479 Guildenstern.
480 I know, no touch of it, my lord.
481 Hamlet.
482 It is as easy as lying. Govern these ventages with your
483 fingers and thumbs, give it breath with your mouth, and it will
484 discourse most eloquent music. Look you, these are the stops.
485 Guildenstern.
486 But these cannot I command to any utt'rance of harmony. I
487 have not the skill.
488 Hamlet.
489 Why, look you now, how unworthy a thing you make of me! You
490 would play upon me; you would seem to know my stops; you would
491 pluck out the heart of my mystery; you would sound me from my
492 lowest note to the top of my compass; and there is much music,
493 excellent voice, in this little organ, yet cannot you make it
494 speak. 'Sblood, do you think I am easier to be play'd on than a
495 pipe? Call me what instrument you will, though you can fret me,
496 you cannot play upon me.
497 [Enter Polonius.]
498 God bless you, sir!
499 Polonius.
500 My lord, the Queen would speak with you, and presently.
501 Hamlet.
502 Do you see yonder cloud that's almost in shape of a camel?
503 Polonius.
504 By th' mass, and 'tis like a camel indeed.
505 Hamlet.
506 Methinks it is like a weasel.
507 Polonius.
508 It is back'd like a weasel.
509 Hamlet.
510 Or like a whale.
511 Polonius.
512 Very like a whale.
513 Hamlet.
514 Then will I come to my mother by-and-by.- They fool me to the
515 top of my bent.- I will come by-and-by.
516 Polonius.
517 I will say so.[Exit.]
518 Hamlet.
519 'By-and-by' is easily said.- Leave me, friends.
520 [Exeunt all but Hamlet.]
521 'Tis now the very witching time of night,
522 When churchyards yawn, and hell itself breathes out
523 Contagion to this world. Now could I drink hot blood
524 And do such bitter business as the day
525 Would quake to look on. Soft! now to my mother!
526 O heart, lose not thy nature; let not ever
527 The soul of Nero enter this firm bosom.
528 Let me be cruel, not unnatural;
529 I will speak daggers to her, but use none.
530 My tongue and soul in this be hypocrites-
531 How in my words somever she be shent,
532 To give them seals never, my soul, consent![Exit.]
