THE TRAGEDY OF HAMLET, PRINCE OF DENMARK - 1600 WILLIAM SHAKESPEAR 2. Act V, Scene 2
◈ The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark (햄릿) ◈
2. Act V, Scene 2
0 Elsinore. A hall in the Castle.
1 Enter Hamlet and Horatio.
2 Hamlet.
3 So much for this, sir; now shall you see the other.
4 You do remember all the circumstance?
5 Horatio.
6 Remember it, my lord!
7 Hamlet.
8 Sir, in my heart there was a kind of fighting
9 That would not let me sleep. Methought I lay
10 Worse than the mutinies in the bilboes. Rashly-
11 And prais'd be rashness for it; let us know,
12 Our indiscretion sometime serves us well
13 When our deep plots do pall; and that should learn us
14 There's a divinity that shapes our ends,
15 Rough-hew them how we will-
16 Horatio.
17 That is most certain.
18 Hamlet.
19 Up from my cabin,
20 My sea-gown scarf'd about me, in the dark
21 Grop'd I to find out them; had my desire,
22 Finger'd their packet, and in fine withdrew
23 To mine own room again; making so bold
24 (My fears forgetting manners)to unseal
25 Their grand commission; where I found, Horatio
26 (O royal knavery!), an exact command,
27 Larded with many several sorts of reasons,
28 Importing Denmark's health, and England's too,
29 With, hoo! such bugs and goblins in my life-
30 That, on the supervise, no leisure bated,
31 No, not to stay the finding of the axe,
32 My head should be struck off.
33 Horatio.
34 Is't possible?
35 Hamlet.
36 Here's the commission; read it at more leisure.
37 But wilt thou bear me how I did proceed?
38 Horatio.
39 I beseech you.
40 Hamlet.
41 Being thus benetted round with villanies,
42 Or I could make a prologue to my brains,
43 They had begun the play. I sat me down;
44 Devis'd a new commission; wrote it fair.
45 I once did hold it, as our statists do,
46 A baseness to write fair, and labour'd much
47 How to forget that learning; but, sir, now
48 It did me yeoman's service. Wilt thou know
49 Th' effect of what I wrote?
50 Horatio.
51 Ay, good my lord.
52 Hamlet.
53 An earnest conjuration from the King,
54 As England was his faithful tributary,
55 As love between them like the palm might flourish,
56 As peace should still her wheaten garland wear
57 And stand a comma 'tween their amities,
58 And many such-like as's of great charge,
59 That, on the view and knowing of these contents,
60 Without debatement further, more or less,
61 He should the bearers put to sudden death,
62 Not shriving time allow'd.
63 Horatio.
64 How was this seal'd?
65 Hamlet.
66 Why, even in that was heaven ordinant.
67 I had my father's signet in my purse,
68 Which was the model of that Danish seal;
69 Folded the writ up in the form of th' other,
70 Subscrib'd it, gave't th' impression, plac'd it safely,
71 The changeling never known. Now, the next day
72 Was our sea-fight; and what to this was sequent
73 Thou know'st already.
74 Horatio.
75 So Guildenstern and Rosencrantz go to't.
76 Hamlet.
77 Why, man, they did make love to this employment!
78 They are not near my conscience; their defeat
79 Does by their own insinuation grow.
80 'Tis dangerous when the baser nature comes
81 Between the pass and fell incensed points
82 Of mighty opposites.
83 Horatio.
84 Why, what a king is this!
85 Hamlet.
86 Does it not, thinks't thee, stand me now upon-
87 He that hath kill'd my king, and whor'd my mother;
88 Popp'd in between th' election and my hopes;
89 Thrown out his angle for my proper life,
90 And with such coz'nage- is't not perfect conscience
91 To quit him with this arm? And is't not to be damn'd
92 To let this canker of our nature come
93 In further evil?
94 Horatio.
95 It must be shortly known to him from England
96 What is the issue of the business there.
97 Hamlet.
98 It will be short; the interim is mine,
99 And a man's life is no more than to say 'one.'
100 But I am very sorry, good Horatio,
101 That to Laertes I forgot myself,
102 For by the image of my cause I see
103 The portraiture of his. I'll court his favours.
104 But sure the bravery of his grief did put me
105 Into a tow'ring passion.
106 Horatio.
107 Peace! Who comes here?
108 Enter young Osric, a courtier.
109 Osric.
110 Your lordship is right welcome back to Denmark.
111 Hamlet.
112 I humbly thank you, sir.[Aside to Horatio]Dost know this
113 waterfly?
114 Horatio.
115 [aside to Hamlet]No, my good lord.
116 Hamlet.
117 [aside to Horatio]Thy state is the more gracious; for 'tis a
118 vice to know him. He hath much land, and fertile. Let a beast be
119 lord of beasts, and his crib shall stand at the king's mess. 'Tis
120 a chough; but, as I say, spacious in the possession of dirt.
121 Osric.
122 Sweet lord, if your lordship were at leisure, I should impart
123 a thing to you from his Majesty.
124 Hamlet.
125 I will receive it, sir, with all diligence of spirit. Put your
126 bonnet to his right use. 'Tis for the head.
127 Osric.
128 I thank your lordship, it is very hot.
129 Hamlet.
130 No, believe me, 'tis very cold; the wind is northerly.
131 Osric.
132 It is indifferent cold, my lord, indeed.
133 Hamlet.
134 But yet methinks it is very sultry and hot for my complexion.
135 Osric.
136 Exceedingly, my lord; it is very sultry, as 'twere- I cannot
137 tell how. But, my lord, his Majesty bade me signify to you that
138 he has laid a great wager on your head. Sir, this is the matter-
139 Hamlet.
140 I beseech you remember.
141 [Hamlet moves him to put on his hat.]
142 Osric.
143 Nay, good my lord; for mine ease, in good faith. Sir, here is
144 newly come to court Laertes; believe me, an absolute gentleman,
145 full of most excellent differences, of very soft society and
146 great showing. Indeed, to speak feelingly of him, he is the card
147 or calendar of gentry; for you shall find in him the continent of
148 what part a gentleman would see.
149 Hamlet.
150 Sir, his definement suffers no perdition in you; though, I
151 know, to divide him inventorially would dozy th' arithmetic of
152 memory, and yet but yaw neither in respect of his quick sail.
153 But, in the verity of extolment, I take him to be a soul of great
154 article, and his infusion of such dearth and rareness as, to make
155 true diction of him, his semblable is his mirror, and who else would trace him, his umbrage, nothing more.
156 Osric.
157 Your lordship speaks most infallibly of him.
158 Hamlet.
159 The concernancy, sir? Why do we wrap the gentleman in our more
160 rawer breath?
161 Osric.
162 Sir?
163 Horatio.
164 [aside to Hamlet]Is't not possible to understand in another
165 tongue? You will do't, sir, really.
166 Hamlet.
167 What imports the nomination of this gentleman?
168 Osric.
169 Of Laertes?
170 Horatio.
171 [aside]His purse is empty already. All's golden words are
172 spent.
173 Hamlet.
174 Of him, sir.
175 Osric.
176 I know you are not ignorant-
177 Hamlet.
178 I would you did, sir; yet, in faith, if you did, it would not
179 much approve me. Well, sir?
180 Osric.
181 You are not ignorant of what excellence Laertes is-
182 Hamlet.
183 I dare not confess that, lest I should compare with him in
184 excellence; but to know a man well were to know himself.
185 Osric.
186 I mean, sir, for his weapon; but in the imputation laid on him
187 by them, in his meed he's unfellowed.
188 Hamlet.
189 What's his weapon?
190 Osric.
191 Rapier and dagger.
192 Hamlet.
193 That's two of his weapons- but well.
194 Osric.
195 The King, sir, hath wager'd with him six Barbary horses;
196 against the which he has impon'd, as I take it, six French
197 rapiers and poniards, with their assigns, as girdle, hangers, and
198 so. Three of the carriages, in faith, are very dear to fancy,
199 very responsive to the hilts, most delicate carriages, and of
200 very liberal conceit.
201 Hamlet.
202 What call you the carriages?
203 Horatio.
204 [aside to Hamlet]I knew you must be edified by the margent
205 ere you had done.
206 Osric.
207 The carriages, sir, are the hangers.
208 Hamlet.
209 The phrase would be more germane to the matter if we could
210 carry cannon by our sides. I would it might be hangers till then.
211 But on! Six Barbary horses against six French swords, their
212 assigns, and three liberal-conceited carriages: that's the French
213 bet against the Danish. Why is this all impon'd, as you call it?
214 Osric.
215 The King, sir, hath laid that, in a dozen passes between
216 yourself and him, he shall not exceed you three hits; he hath
217 laid on twelve for nine, and it would come to immediate trial
218 if your lordship would vouchsafe the answer.
219 Hamlet.
220 How if I answer no?
221 Osric.
222 I mean, my lord, the opposition of your person in trial.
223 Hamlet.
224 Sir, I will walk here in the hall. If it please his Majesty,
225 it is the breathing time of day with me. Let the foils be
226 brought, the gentleman willing, and the King hold his purpose,
227 I will win for him if I can; if not, I will gain nothing but my
228 shame and the odd hits.
229 Osric.
230 Shall I redeliver you e'en so?
231 Hamlet.
232 To this effect, sir, after what flourish your nature will.
233 Osric.
234 I commend my duty to your lordship.
235 Hamlet.
236 Yours, yours.[Exit Osric.]He does well to commend it
237 himself; there are no tongues else for's turn.
238 Horatio.
239 This lapwing runs away with the shell on his head.
240 Hamlet.
241 He did comply with his dug before he suck'd it. Thus has he,
242 and many more of the same bevy that I know the drossy age dotes
243 on, only got the tune of the time and outward habit of encounter-
244 a kind of yesty collection, which carries them through and
245 through the most fann'd and winnowed opinions; and do but blow
246 them to their trial-the bubbles are out,
247 Enter a Lord.
248 Lord.
249 My lord, his Majesty commended him to you by young Osric, who
250 brings back to him, that you attend him in the hall. He sends to
251 know if your pleasure hold to play with Laertes, or that you will
252 take longer time.
253 Hamlet.
254 I am constant to my purposes; they follow the King's pleasure.
255 If his fitness speaks, mine is ready; now or whensoever, provided
256 I be so able as now.
257 Lord.
258 The King and Queen and all are coming down.
259 Hamlet.
260 In happy time.
261 Lord.
262 The Queen desires you to use some gentle entertainment to
263 Laertes before you fall to play.
264 Hamlet.
265 She well instructs me.
266 [Exit Lord.]
267 Horatio.
268 You will lose this wager, my lord.
269 Hamlet.
270 I do not think so. Since he went into France I have been in
271 continual practice. I shall win at the odds. But thou wouldst not
272 think how ill all's here about my heart. But it is no matter.
273 Horatio.
274 Nay, good my lord—
275 Hamlet.
276 It is but foolery; but it is such a kind of gaingiving as
277 would perhaps trouble a woman.
278 Horatio.
279 If your mind dislike anything, obey it. I will forestall their
280 repair hither and say you are not fit.
281 Hamlet.
282 Not a whit, we defy augury; there's a special providence in
283 the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be
284 not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come:
285 the readiness is all. Since no man knows aught of what he leaves,
286 what is't to leave betimes? Let be.
287 Enter King, Queen, Laertes, Osric, and Lords, with other
288 Attendants with foils and gauntlets.
289 A table and flagons of wine on it.
290 Claudius.
291 Come, Hamlet, come, and take this hand from me.
292 [The King puts Laertes' hand into Hamlet's.]
293 Hamlet.
294 Give me your pardon, sir. I have done you wrong;
295 But pardon't, as you are a gentleman.
296 This presence knows,
297 And you must needs have heard, how I am punish'd
298 With sore distraction. What I have done
299 That might your nature, honour, and exception
300 Roughly awake, I here proclaim was madness.
301 Was't Hamlet wrong'd Laertes? Never Hamlet.
302 If Hamlet from himself be taken away,
303 And when he's not himself does wrong Laertes,
304 Then Hamlet does it not, Hamlet denies it.
305 Who does it, then? His madness. If't be so,
306 Hamlet is of the faction that is wrong'd;
307 His madness is poor Hamlet's enemy.
308 Sir, in this audience,
309 Let my disclaiming from a purpos'd evil
310 Free me so far in your most generous thoughts
311 That I have shot my arrow o'er the house
312 And hurt my brother.
313 Laertes.
314 I am satisfied in nature,
315 Whose motive in this case should stir me most
316 To my revenge. But in my terms of honour
317 I stand aloof, and will no reconcilement
318 Till by some elder masters of known honour
319 I have a voice and precedent of peace
320 To keep my name ungor'd. But till that time
321 I do receive your offer'd love like love,
322 And will not wrong it.
323 Hamlet.
324 I embrace it freely,
325 And will this brother's wager frankly play.
326 Give us the foils. Come on.
327 Laertes.
328 Come, one for me.
329 Hamlet.
330 I'll be your foil, Laertes. In mine ignorance
331 Your skill shall, like a star i' th' darkest night,
332 Stick fiery off indeed.
333 Laertes.
334 You mock me, sir.
335 Hamlet.
336 No, by this hand.
337 Claudius.
338 Give them the foils, young Osric. Cousin Hamlet,
339 You know the wager?
340 Hamlet.
341 Very well, my lord.
342 Your Grace has laid the odds o' th' weaker side.
343 Claudius.
344 I do not fear it, I have seen you both;
345 But since he is better'd, we have therefore odds.
346 Laertes.
347 This is too heavy; let me see another.
348 Hamlet.
349 This likes me well. These foils have all a length?
350 Prepare to play.
351 Osric.
352 Ay, my good lord.
353 Claudius.
354 Set me the stoups of wine upon that table.
355 If Hamlet give the first or second hit,
356 Or quit in answer of the third exchange,
357 Let all the battlements their ordnance fire;
358 The King shall drink to Hamlet's better breath,
359 And in the cup an union shall he throw
360 Richer than that which four successive kings
361 In Denmark's crown have worn. Give me the cups;
362 And let the kettle to the trumpet speak,
363 The trumpet to the cannoneer without,
364 The cannons to the heavens, the heaven to earth,
365 'Now the King drinks to Hamlet.' Come, begin.
366 And you the judges, bear a wary eye.
367 Hamlet.
368 Come on, sir.
369 Laertes.
370 Come, my lord. They play.
371 Hamlet.
372 One.
373 Laertes.
374 No.
375 Hamlet.
376 Judgment!
377 Osric.
378 A hit, a very palpable hit.
379 Laertes.
380 Well, again!
381 Claudius.
382 Stay, give me drink. Hamlet, this pearl is thine;
383 Here's to thy health.
384 [Drum; trumpets sound; a piece goes off [within].]
385 Give him the cup.
386 Hamlet.
387 I'll play this bout first; set it by awhile.
388 Come.[They play.]Another hit. What say you?
389 Laertes.
390 A touch, a touch; I do confess't.
391 Claudius.
392 Our son shall win.
393 Gertrude.
394 He's fat, and scant of breath.
395 Here, Hamlet, take my napkin, rub thy brows.
396 The Queen carouses to thy fortune, Hamlet.
397 Hamlet.
398 Good madam!
399 Claudius.
400 Gertrude, do not drink.
401 Gertrude.
402 I will, my lord; I pray you pardon me. Drinks.
403 Claudius.
404 [aside]It is the poison'd cup; it is too late.
405 Hamlet.
406 I dare not drink yet, madam; by-and-by.
407 Gertrude.
408 Come, let me wipe thy face.
409 Laertes.
410 My lord, I'll hit him now.
411 Claudius.
412 I do not think't.
413 Laertes.
414 [aside]And yet it is almost against my conscience.
415 Hamlet.
416 Come for the third, Laertes! You but dally.
417 Pray you pass with your best violence;
418 I am afeard you make a wanton of me.
419 Laertes.
420 Say you so? Come on. Play.
421 Osric.
422 Nothing neither way.
423 Laertes.
424 Have at you now!
425 [Laertes wounds Hamlet; then] in scuffling, they change rapiers, [and Hamlet wounds Laertes].
426 Claudius.
427 Part them! They are incens'd.
428 Hamlet.
429 Nay come! again! The Queen falls.
430 Osric.
431 Look to the Queen there, ho!
432 Horatio.
433 They bleed on both sides. How is it, my lord?
434 Osric.
435 How is't, Laertes?
436 Laertes.
437 Why, as a woodcock to mine own springe, Osric.I am justly kill'd with mine own treachery.
438 Hamlet.
439 How does the Queen?
440 Claudius.
441 She sounds to see them bleed.
442 Gertrude.
443 No, no! the drink, the drink! O my dear Hamlet!
444 The drink, the drink! I am poison'd.[Dies.]
445 Hamlet.
446 O villany! Ho! let the door be lock'd.
447 Treachery! Seek it out.
448 [Laertes falls.]
449 Laertes.
450 It is here, Hamlet. Hamlet, thou art slain;
451 No medicine in the world can do thee good.
452 In thee there is not half an hour of life.
453 The treacherous instrument is in thy hand,
454 Unbated and envenom'd. The foul practice
455 Hath turn'd itself on me. Lo, here I lie,
456 Never to rise again. Thy mother's poison'd.
457 I can no more. The King, the King's to blame.
458 Hamlet.
459 The point envenom'd too?
460 Then, venom, to thy work. Hurts the King.
461 All.
462 Treason! treason!
463 Claudius.
464 O, yet defend me, friends! I am but hurt.
465 Hamlet.
466 Here, thou incestuous, murd'rous, damned Dane,
467 Drink off this potion! Is thy union here?
468 Follow my mother. King dies.
469 Laertes.
470 He is justly serv'd.
471 It is a poison temper'd by himself.
472 Exchange forgiveness with me, noble Hamlet.
473 Mine and my father's death come not upon thee,
474 Nor thine on me! Dies.
475 Hamlet.
476 Heaven make thee free of it! I follow thee.
477 I am dead, Horatio.
478 Wretched queen, adieu!
479 You that look pale and tremble at this chance,
480 That are but mutes or audience to this act,
481 Had I but time(as this fell sergeant, Death,
482 Is strict in his arrest)O, I could tell you-
483 But let it be. Horatio, I am dead;
484 Thou liv'st; report me and my cause aright
485 To the unsatisfied.
486 Horatio.
487 Never believe it.
488 I am more an antique Roman than a Dane.
489 Here's yet some liquor left.
490 Hamlet.
491 As th'art a man,
492 Give me the cup. Let go! By heaven, I'll ha't.
493 O good Horatio, what a wounded name
494 (Things standing thus unknown)shall live behind me!
495 If thou didst ever hold me in thy heart,
496 Absent thee from felicity awhile,
497 And in this harsh world draw thy breath in pain,
498 To tell my story.[March afar off, and shot within.]
499 What warlike noise is this?
500 Osric.
501 Young Fortinbras, with conquest come from Poland,
502 To the ambassadors of England gives
503 This warlike volley.
504 Hamlet.
505 O, I die, Horatio!
506 The potent poison quite o'ercrows my spirit.
507 I cannot live to hear the news from England,
508 But I do prophesy th' election lights
509 On Fortinbras. He has my dying voice.
510 So tell him, with th' occurrents, more and less,
511 Which have solicited- the rest is silence. Dies.
512 Horatio.
513 Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince,
514 And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!
515 [March within.]
516 Why does the drum come hither?
517 Enter Fortinbras and English Ambassadors, with Drum, Colours, and Attendants.
518 Fortinbras.
519 Where is this sight?
520 Horatio.
521 What is it you will see?
522 If aught of woe or wonder, cease your search.
523 Fortinbras.
524 This quarry cries on havoc. O proud Death,
525 What feast is toward in thine eternal cell
526 That thou so many princes at a shot
527 So bloodily hast struck.
528 Ambassador.
529 The sight is dismal;
530 And our affairs from England come too late.
531 The ears are senseless that should give us hearing
532 To tell him his commandment is fulfill'd
533 That Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead.
534 Where should we have our thanks?
535 Horatio.
536 Not from his mouth,
537 Had it th' ability of life to thank you.
538 He never gave commandment for their death.
539 But since, so jump upon this bloody question,
540 You from the Polack wars, and you from England,
541 Are here arriv'd, give order that these bodies
542 High on a stage be placed to the view;
543 And let me speak to the yet unknowing world
544 How these things came about. So shall you hear
545 Of carnal, bloody and unnatural acts;
546 Of accidental judgments, casual slaughters;
547 Of deaths put on by cunning and forc'd cause;
548 And, in this upshot, purposes mistook
549 Fall'n on th' inventors' heads. All this can I
550 Truly deliver.
551 Fortinbras.
552 Let us haste to hear it,
553 And call the noblest to the audience.
554 For me, with sorrow I embrace my fortune.
555 I have some rights of memory in this kingdom
556 Which now, to claim my vantage doth invite me.
557 Horatio.
558 Of that I shall have also cause to speak,
559 And from his mouth whose voice will draw on more.
560 But let this same be presently perform'd,
561 Even while men's minds are wild, lest more mischance
562 On plots and errors happen.
563 Fortinbras.
564 Let four captains
565 Bear Hamlet like a soldier to the stage;
566 For he was likely, had he been put on,
567 To have prov'd most royally; and for his passage
568 The soldiers' music and the rites of war
569 Speak loudly for him.
570 Take up the bodies. Such a sight as this
571 Becomes the field but here shows much amiss.
572 Go, bid the soldiers shoot.
573 Exeunt marching; after the which a peal of ordnance are shot off.
