◈ The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark (햄릿) ◈

4. Act I, Scene 4

0         Elsinore. The platform before the Castle.
1         Enter Hamlet, Horatio, and Marcellus.
2         Hamlet.
3               The air bites shrewdly; it is very cold.
4         Horatio.
5               It is a nipping and an eager air.
6         Hamlet.
7               What hour now?
8         Horatio.
9               I think it lacks of twelve.
10         Marcellus.
11               No, it is struck.
12         Horatio.
13               Indeed? I heard it not. It then draws near the season
14               Wherein the spirit held his wont to walk.
15               [A flourish of trumpets, and two pieces go off.]
16               What does this mean, my lord?
17         Hamlet.
18               The King doth wake to-night and takes his rouse,
19               Keeps wassail, and the swagg'ring upspring reels,
20               And, as he drains his draughts of Rhenish down,
21               The kettledrum and trumpet thus bray out
22               The triumph of his pledge.
23         Horatio.
24               Is it a custom?
25         Hamlet.
26               Ay, marry, is't;
27               But to my mind, though I am native here
28               And to the manner born, it is a custom
29               More honour'd in the breach than the observance.
30               This heavy-headed revel east and west
31               Makes us traduc'd and tax'd of other nations;
32               They clip us drunkards and with swinish phrase
33               Soil our addition; and indeed it takes
34               From our achievements, though perform'd at height,
35               The pith and marrow of our attribute.
36               So oft it chances in particular men
37               That, for some vicious mole of nature in them,
38               As in their birth,- wherein they are not guilty,
39               Since nature cannot choose his origin,-
40               By the o'ergrowth of some complexion,
41               Oft breaking down the pales and forts of reason,
42               Or by some habit that too much o'erleavens
43               The form of plausive manners, that these men
44               Carrying, I say, the stamp of one defect,
45               Being nature's livery, or fortune's star,
46               Their virtues else- be they as pure as grace,
47               As infinite as man may undergo-
48               Shall in the general censure take corruption
49               From that particular fault. The dram of e'il
50               Doth all the noble substance often dout To his own scandal.
51         Enter Ghost.
52         Horatio.
53               Look, my lord, it comes!
54         Hamlet.
55               Angels and ministers of grace defend us!
56               Be thou a spirit of health or goblin damn'd,
57               Bring with thee airs from heaven or blasts from hell,
58               Be thy intents wicked or charitable,
59               Thou com'st in such a questionable shape
60               That I will speak to thee. I'll call thee Hamlet,
61               King, father, royal Dane. O, answer me?
62               Let me not burst in ignorance, but tell
63               Why thy canoniz'd bones, hearsed in death,
64               Have burst their cerements; why the sepulchre
65               Wherein we saw thee quietly inurn'd,
66               Hath op'd his ponderous and marble jaws
67               To cast thee up again. What may this mean
68               That thou, dead corse, again in complete steel,
69               Revisits thus the glimpses of the moon,
70               Making night hideous, and we fools of nature
71               So horridly to shake our disposition
72               With thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls?
73               Say, why is this? wherefore? What should we do?
74         Ghost beckons Hamlet.
75         Horatio.
76               It beckons you to go away with it,
77               As if it some impartment did desire
78               To you alone.
79         Marcellus.
80               Look with what courteous action
81               It waves you to a more removed ground.
82               But do not go with it!
83         Horatio.
84               No, by no means!
85         Hamlet.
86               It will not speak. Then will I follow it.
87         Horatio.
88               Do not, my lord!
89         Hamlet.
90               Why, what should be the fear?
91               I do not set my life at a pin's fee;
92               And for my soul, what can it do to that,
93               Being a thing immortal as itself?
94               It waves me forth again. I'll follow it.
95         Horatio.
96               What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord,
97               Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff
98               That beetles o'er his base into the sea,
99               And there assume some other, horrible form
100               Which might deprive your sovereignty of reason
101               And draw you into madness? Think of it.
102               The very place puts toys of desperation,
103               Without more motive, into every brain
104               That looks so many fadoms to the sea
105               And hears it roar beneath.
106         Hamlet.
107               It waves me still.
108               Go on. I'll follow thee.
109         Marcellus.
110               You shall not go, my lord.
111         Hamlet.
112               Hold off your hands!
113         Horatio.
114               Be rul'd. You shall not go.
115         Hamlet.
116               My fate cries out
117               And makes each petty artire in this body
118               As hardy as the Nemean lion's nerve.
119               [Ghost beckons.]
120               Still am I call'd. Unhand me, gentlemen.
121               By heaven, I'll make a ghost of him that lets me!-
122               I say, away!- Go on. I'll follow thee.
123         Exeunt Ghost and Hamlet.
124         Horatio.
125               He waxes desperate with imagination.
126         Marcellus.
127               Let's follow. 'Tis not fit thus to obey him.
128         Horatio.
129               Have after. To what issue will this come?
130         Marcellus.
131               Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
132         Horatio.
133               Heaven will direct it.
134         Marcellus.
135               Nay, let's follow him.
136         Exeunt.
