from their spheres Thy knotted and combined locks to part And each particular haire to stand on end Like quils vpon the fretfull Porpentine But this same blazon must not be to eares of flesh and blood Hamlet if euer thou didst thy deere father loue Ham. O God Gho. Reuenge his foule and most vnnaturall murder Ham. Murder Ghost Yea murder in the highest degree As in the least t is bad But mine most foule beastly and vnnaturall Ham. Haste me to knowe it that with wings as swift as meditation or the thought of it may sweepe to my reuenge Ghost O I finde thee apt and duller shouldst thou be Then the fat weede which rootes it selfe in ease On Lethe wharffe briefe let me be T is giuen out that sleeping in my orchard A Serpent stung me so the whole eare of Denmarke Is with a forged Prosses of my death rankely abusde But know thou noble Youth he that did sting Thy fathers heart now weares his Crowne Ham. O my prophetike soule my vncle my vncle Ghost Yea he that incestuous wretch wonne to his will with gifts O wicked will and gifts that haue the power So to seduce my most seeming vertuous Queene But vertne as it neuer will be moued Though Lewdnesse court it in a shape of heauen So Lust though to a radiant angle linckt Would fate it selfe from a celestiall bedde And prey on garbage but soft me thinkes I sent the mornings ayre briefe let me be Sleeping within my Orchard my custome alwayes In the after noone vpon my secure houre Thy vncle came with iuyce of Hebona In a viall and through the porches of my eares Did powre the leaprous distilment whose effect Hold such an enmitie with blood of man That swift as quickesiluer it posteth through The naturall gates and allies of the body And turnes the thinne and wholesome blood Like eager dropings into milke And all my smoothe body barked and tetterd ouer Thus was I sleeping by a brothers hand Of Crowne of Queene of life of dignitie At once depriued no reckoning made of But sent vnto my graue With all my accompts and sinnes vpon my head O horrible most horrible Ham. O God! ghost If thou hast nature in thee beare it not But howsoeuer let not thy heart Conspire against thy mother aught Leaue her to heauen And to the burthen that her conscience beares I must be gone the glow-Glo-worme shewes the Mattin To be neere and gin's to pale his vneffectuall fire Hamlet adue adue adue remember me Exit Ham. O all you hoste of heauen O earth what else And shall I couple hell remember thee Yes thou poore Ghost from the tables Of my memorie I le wipe away all sawes of Bookes All triuiall fond conceites That euer youth or else obseruance noted And thy remembrance all alone shall sit Yes yes by heauen a damnd pernitious villaine Murderons bawdy smiling damned villaine My tables meet it is I set it downe That one may smile and smile and be a villayne Atleast I am sure it may be so in Denmarke So vncle there you are there you are Now to the words it is adue adue remember me Soe t' is enough I haue sworne Hor.

These are but wild and wherling words my Lord. Ham. I am sory they offend you hartely yes faith hartily Hor. Ther 's no offence my Lord. Ham.
