Source: Folger Shakespeare Library
Enter Hamlet and Horatio. Village Then much for this, sir. At present shall yous see the other. You do recollect all the circumstance? HORATIO Remember it, my lord! Village Sir, in my heart there was a kind of fighting That would not allow me slumber. Methought I lay 5 Worse than the mutines in the bilboes. Rashly— And praised exist rashness for it: let us know, Our indiscretion quondam serves united states of america well When our deep plots do pall; and that should learn us 10 There's a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will— HORATIO That is most certain. HAMLET Up from my cabin, xv My bounding main-gown scarfed nigh me, in the dark Groped I to detect out them; had my desire, Fingered their bundle, and in fine withdrew To mine ain room over again, making so bold (My fears forgetting manners) to unfold 20 Their grand commission; where I establish, Horatio, A royal knavery—an exact control, Larded with many several sorts of reasons Importing Denmark's wellness and England'due south too, With—ho!—such bugs and goblins in my life, 25 That on the supervise, no leisure bated, No, not to stay the grinding of the ax, My head should be struck off.	Hamlet tells Horatio what happened while he was out of Denmark: he was on the ship to England, when he got the thought to check out Claudius' letter of the alphabet in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern'south pack. Surprise! It tells the king to take Hamlet killed—for the good of the land and all.
HORATIO Is 't possible? Village Here's the commission. Read it at more than leisure. 30 Handing him a paper. Merely wilt thou hear now how I did go on? HORATIO I beseech you. HAMLET Existence thus benetted round with villainies, Or I could make a prologue to my brains, They had begun the play. I sat me downward, 35 Devised a new commission, wrote it fair— I one time did hold it, as our statists exercise, A baseness to write fair, and labored much How to forget that learning; but, sir, now Information technology did me yeoman's service. Wilt thou know xl Th' effect of what I wrote? HORATIO Ay, good my lord. HAMLET An hostage conjuration from the King, Equally England was his faithful tributary, As dear between them like the palm might flourish, 45 Every bit peace should still her wheaten garland wear And stand a comma 'tween their amities, And many suchlike ases of bully charge, That, on the view and knowing of these contents, Without debatement farther, more than or less, 50 He should those bearers put to sudden death, Not shriving time allowed. HORATIO How was this sealed? Village Why, even in that was heaven ordinant. I had my father's signet in my purse, 55 Which was the model of that Danish seal; Folded the writ up in the course of thursday' other, Subscribed it, gave 't thursday' impression, placed information technology safely, The changeling never known. Now, the next day 60 Was our ocean-fight; and what to this was consecutive Thou knowest already.	Luckily, Village had some tricks up his sleeve. He altered the letter to tell the king that the bearers of the letter (i.e. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern) should exist killed. Hamlet even sealed the new letter with his father'due south own signet (a stamp-similar object with a design relating to one's title or authorization, often on a band, used to seal official messages) which he conveniently had in his bag. As luck would take it, the adjacent day was the bully body of water fight where Hamlet ran off with the pirates. Horatio already knows how that went from Village's last letter.
HORATIO Then Guildenstern and Rosencrantz go to 't. Hamlet Why, man, they did make love to this employment. They are non nearly my censor. Their defeat 65 Does by their ain insinuation grow. 'Tis dangerous when the baser nature comes Between the pass and fell incensèd points Of mighty opposites. HORATIO Why, what a rex is this! 70 HAMLET Does it not, call up thee, stand me at present upon— He that hath killed my male monarch and whored my mother, Popped in between th' election and my hopes, Thrown out his angle for my proper life, And with such cozenage—is 't not perfect 75 conscience To quit him with this arm? And is 't not to exist damned To let this canker of our nature come In farther evil? 80 HORATIO It must be shortly known to him from England What is the effect of the business there.	Horatio gives Village a chance to be like, "Sorry I killed our friends in a way that will damn them to eternal Hell," only instead Hamlet just basically shrugs. They're collateral damage, which is to be expected in a battle between 2 great forces (Hamlet and Claudius, presumably). It'southward logic: Claudius has tried to kill him; Claudius killed his father; Claudius "whored" his female parent; and Claudius deliberately stands in the mode of Hamlet's access to the crown of Denmark. Ergo, if anything, he would be wrongnot to impale Claudius, since he'd only do more impairment with time.
Hamlet It will be curt. The interim'southward mine, And a human being's life'due south no more than than to say "one." Simply I am very deplorable, proficient Horatio, 85 That to Laertes I forgot myself, For by the image of my cause I see The portraiture of his. I'll court his favors. But, sure, the bravery of his grief did put me Into a tow'ring passion. xc HORATIO Peace, who comes here?	Hamlet does say he's sorry Laertes got caught up in the whole affair, and he's actually going to endeavour to make up with him.
Enter Osric, a courtier. OSRIC Your Lordship is right welcome dorsum to Kingdom of denmark. HAMLET I humbly cheers, sir. Aside to Horatio. Dost know this waterfly? 95 HORATIO, aside to Hamlet No, my good lord. HAMLET, bated to Horatio Thy state is the more than gracious, for 'tis a vice to know him. He hath much state, and fertile. Let a beast exist lord of beasts and his crib shall stand up at the male monarch'southward mess. 'Tis a chough, 100 only, equally I say, spacious in the possession of clay. OSRIC Sweet lord, if your Lordship were at leisure, I should impart a thing to y'all from his Majesty. HAMLET I will receive it, sir, with all diligence of spirit. Put your bonnet to his right utilise: 'tis for the 105 head. OSRIC I thank your Lordship; it is very hot. HAMLET No, believe me, 'tis very common cold; the wind is northerly. OSRIC It is indifferent cold, my lord, indeed. 110 HAMLET Simply even so methinks it is very sultry and hot for my complexion. OSRIC Exceedingly, my lord; information technology is very sultry, as 'twere—I cannot tell how. My lord, his Majesty bade me signify to yous that he has laid a great wager 115 on your head. Sir, this is the matter— Hamlet I beseech you, remember. He motions to Osric to put on his hat.	Just then, Oscric, a ridiculous member of the courtroom comes in. Village asks Horatio if he knows Osric. When he says he doesn't, Village says, "Lucky you." He then gain to have a trivial fun with Osric by saying that information technology'southward hot, then that it's common cold, and so that it's hot again. Osric agrees with him every fourth dimension, proving himself to be rather spineless.
OSRIC Nay, good my lord, for my ease, in good organized religion. Sir, here is newly come to courtroom Laertes—believe me, an absolute admirer, full of virtually first-class 120 differences, of very soft society and great showing. Indeed, to speak feelingly of him, he is the carte du jour or calendar of gentry, for you shall find in him the continent of what part a gentleman would see. HAMLET Sir, his definement suffers no perdition in 125 you lot, though I know to divide him inventorially would dozy th' arithmetics of retention, and yet but yaw neither, in respect of his quick sail. But, in the verity of extolment, I accept him to be a soul of great commodity, and his infusion of such dearth and rareness 130 as, to make true diction of him, his semblable is his mirror, and who else would trace him, his umbrage, nothing more than. OSRIC Your Lordship speaks most infallibly of him. Village The concernancy, sir? Why do we wrap the 135 admirer in our more than rawer breath? OSRIC Sir? HORATIO Is 't non possible to empathise in another natural language? Yous volition to 't, sir, actually. HAMLET, to Osric What imports the nomination of 140 this gentleman? OSRIC Of Laertes? HORATIO His purse is empty already; all 's gilded words are spent. Hamlet Of him, sir. 145 OSRIC I know you are non ignorant— HAMLET I would y'all did, sir. Yet, in religion, if you did, information technology would not much approve me. Well, sir? OSRIC Y'all are not ignorant of what excellence Laertes is— 150 Hamlet I cartel not confess that, lest I should compare with him in excellence. But to know a man well were to know himself. OSRIC I mean, sir, for his weapon. But in the imputation laid on him by them, in his meed he's 155 unfellowed. HAMLET What's his weapon? OSRIC Rapier and dagger. HAMLET That's two of his weapons. But, well—	Osric tries to get to the point of his visit. He's trying to talk up Laertes skill as a swordsman as he was clearly instructed to practice by Claudius, but Village and Horatio are having a lot of fun confusing him.
OSRIC The King, sir, hath wagered with him half dozen Barbary 160 horses, against the which he has impawned, every bit I take information technology, vi French rapiers and poniards, with their assigns, as girdle, hangers, and then. Three of the carriages, in faith, are very honey to fancy, very responsive to the hilts, most fragile carriages, and 165 of very liberal conceit. Hamlet What telephone call y'all the "carriages"? HORATIO I knew you lot must exist edified by the margent ere you had done. OSRIC The carriages, sir, are the hangers. 170 HAMLET The phrase would exist more than germane to the matter if we could acquit a cannon by our sides. I would information technology might be "hangers" till then. But on. Six Barbary horses against 6 French swords, their assigns, and three liberal-conceited carriages— 175 that'south the French bet against the Danish. Why is this all "impawned," every bit yous telephone call it? OSRIC The King, sir, hath laid, sir, that in a dozen passes between yourself and him, he shall not exceed yous three hits. He hath laid on twelve for 180 nine, and it would come to immediate trial if your Lordship would vouchsafe the answer. HAMLET How if I answer no? OSRIC I mean, my lord, the opposition of your person in trial. 185 HAMLET Sir, I volition walk here in the hall. If information technology please his Majesty, information technology is the animate time of twenty-four hours with me. Let the foils be brought, the gentleman willing, and the Rex hold his purpose, I will win for him, an I tin can. If not, I will proceeds nothing merely my shame and the odd 190 hits. OSRIC Shall I deliver you lot e'en and so? Village To this effect, sir, afterward what flourish your nature volition. OSRIC I commend my duty to your Lordship. 195 Village Yours. Osric exits. He does well to commend information technology himself. There are no tongues else for 'south turn. HORATIO This lapwing runs away with the shell on his caput. 200 HAMLET He did comply, sir, with his dug before he sucked it. Thus has he (and many more of the same brood that I know the drossy age dotes on) only got the tune of the time, and, out of an habit of encounter, a kind of yeasty drove, which carries 205 them through and through the most fanned and winnowed opinions; and do but blow them to their trial, the bubbling are out.	Osric finally gets to the bespeak (more or less). He's been sent to ask Hamlet if he is willing to fight a friendly duel with Laertes based on a bet. Male monarch Claudius has bet six fine horses, six fine French swords, and iii beautiful carriages, on the odds that Laertes wouldn't go more 3 hits in over Hamlet in a fencing match. Hamlet says sure, and Osric leaves, giving Village and Horatio an opportunity to make fun of him behind his back now.
Enter a Lord. LORD My lord, his Majesty commended him to yous by immature Osric, who brings back to him that yous 210 nourish him in the hall. He sends to know if your pleasure hold to play with Laertes, or that you will have longer time. HAMLET I am constant to my purposes. They follow the King's pleasure. If his fitness speaks, mine is 215 ready now or whensoever, provided I exist so able as now. LORD The Rex and Queen and all are coming down. Village In happy time. LORD The Queen desires you to utilise some gentle 220 entertainment to Laertes before you autumn to play. HAMLET She well instructs me. Lord exits. HORATIO You will lose, my lord. Village I do not think and then. Since he went into French republic, I accept been in continual practice. I shall win at the 225 odds; just thou wouldst non think how sick all's hither about my heart. Simply it is no affair. HORATIO Nay, good my lord— HAMLET It is but foolery, but it is such a kind of gaingiving as would perchance trouble a woman. 230 HORATIO If your mind dislike annihilation, obey information technology. I volition preclude their repair here and say y'all are non fit. Hamlet Not a whit. We defy augury. There is a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it exist now, 'tis not to come up; if it be non to come up, it will be 235 at present; if it be not now, yet it will come. The readiness is all. Since no homo of aught he leaves knows, what is 't to leave betimes? Permit be.	Two seconds afterwards a Lord enters and says, "Well, are you coming?" Manifestly the duel is taking place: Right. Now. Hamlet agrees to go, but Horatio has a bad feeling about all of this. He tells Village he's going to lose. Village says he doesn't think then. He'southward been practicing since Laertes went to France. Plus, they've given him good odds. But even if he does lose, it'southward just fooling around—nothing serious. Horatio isn't and then sure. He tells Hamlet that if something doesn't feel correct, he should listen to his gut. Hamlet dismisses Horatio's concerns and says, basically, we all have to die sometime. If this is my time, so be it.
A tabular array prepared. Enter Trumpets, Drums, and Officers with cushions, King, Queen, Osric, and all the state, foils, daggers, flagons of wine, and Laertes. KING Come, Village, come and take this manus from me. He puts Laertes' hand into Hamlet'southward. Hamlet, to Laertes Give me your pardon, sir. I take done you wrong; 240 But pardon 't as you are a gentleman. This presence knows, And you must needs have heard, how I am punished With a sore distraction. What I have washed That might your nature, honor, and exception 245 Roughly awake, I here proclaim was madness. Was 't Village wronged Laertes? Never Hamlet. If Hamlet from himself be ta'en away, And when he'southward not himself does incorrect Laertes, Then Village does it not; Hamlet denies information technology. 250 Who does it, and so? His madness. If 't be so, Hamlet is of the faction that is wronged; His madness is poor Hamlet's enemy. Sir, in this audience Let my disclaiming from a purposed evil 255 Free me so far in your virtually generous thoughts That I have shot my arrow o'er the house And hurt my brother.	Anybody is ready to spotter the duel, including the Male monarch (poisoned beverage on the table!) and Queen. Hamlet, shockingly, is the picture of quiet gentleness. Claudius puts Laertes' mitt into Hamlet'due south, and Hamlet takes the opportunity to apologize: he tells Laertes how sorry he is for hurting him. And in fact, it wasn't Village that wronged Laertes, it was Hamlet's madness, of which Hamlet is also a victim. (Does that count as an apology?) Finally, Village makes a passing reference to the fact that Polonius's death was an accident. He says it's similar he shot an arrow over a house and hit someone on the other side without existence able to see where his pointer would land. Sure, that's kind of like stabbing a tapestry without knowing who's on the other side.
LAERTES I am satisfied in nature, Whose motive in this instance should stir me most 260 To my revenge; only in my terms of award I stand up aloof and will no reconcilement Till by some elder masters of known honor I have a vocalization and precedent of peace To keep my name ungored. But till that time 265 I exercise receive your offered love like love And will not incorrect information technology. Hamlet I embrace it freely And volition this brothers' wager frankly play.— Requite u.s.a. the foils. Come on. 270 LAERTES Come, one for me. Village I'll be your foil, Laertes; in mine ignorance Your skill shall, like a star i' th' darkest night, Stick peppery off indeed. LAERTES You mock me, sir. 275 HAMLET No, by this hand. Rex Requite them the foils, young Osric. Cousin Hamlet, You know the wager? HAMLET Very well, my lord. Your Grace has laid the odds o' thursday' weaker side. 280 KING I do not fear it; I have seen yous both. But, since he is better, we have therefore odds.	Laertes hears all of this. He says he's satisfied by Hamlet'southward apology, but he'd wait like a  scrap of a fool if he just responded, "Thank you for apologizing for killing my dad" and left it at that. Basically, they accept to fight to save Laertes' reputation—but it'll be a friendly petty fight. Just before the duel begins, Hamlet declares himself to exist the weaker player, but Claudius declares he doesn't mind.
LAERTES This is too heavy. Permit me run across another. Village This likes me well. These foils have all a length? OSRIC Ay, my good lord. 285 Prepare to play.	As Osric presents the men the swords, Laertes quibbles, dismissing one every bit being also heavy. He'southward clearly picking through the swords, seeming to be finicky, when really nosotros know he'due south searching for the sharpened, poisoned sword. Hamlet is much less choosy than Laertes; he'due south satisfied and takes a sword afterwards asking but ane question well-nigh whether the swords are all the same length (which matters for fighting, but non for pulling off a dastardly plan).
KING Ready me the stoups of wine upon that tabular array.— If Hamlet give the first or second hit Or quit in answer of the third commutation, Let all the battlements their ordnance fire. The Male monarch shall potable to Hamlet's better breath, 290 And in the cup an union shall he throw, Richer than that which 4 successive kings In Denmark'southward crown have worn. Give me the cups, And let the kettle to the trumpet speak, The trumpet to the cannoneer without, 295 The cannons to the heavens, the heaven to world, "Now the King drinks to Hamlet." Come up, brainstorm. And you, the judges, behave a wary eye.	Claudius as well makes a big evidence, maxim cannons will fire and the Male monarch will beverage to Hamlet's good hits. He's got plenty of wine ready to continue the table, including, we assume, his poisoned loving cup.
Trumpets the while. HAMLET Come on, sir. LAERTES Come, my lord. They play. 300 Village One. LAERTES No. HAMLET Judgment! OSRIC A hit, a very palpable hit. LAERTES Well, again. 305 KING Stay, requite me drink.—Hamlet, this pearl is thine. Hither's to thy wellness. He drinks and so drops the pearl in the cup. Drum, trumpets, and shot. Requite him the cup. HAMLET I'll play this bout first. Set up it by awhile. Come. They play. Another hit. What say you? 310 LAERTES A affect, a impact. I do confess 't. KING Our son shall win.	Every bit Hamlet and Laertes cantankerous swords, Village scores the first few points. Claudius, impatient for his stepson's death, offers him the poisoned goblet of wine, only Village declines and keeps fighting.
QUEEN He'southward fat and scant of breath.— Here, Hamlet, take my napkin; rub thy brows. The Queen carouses to thy fortune, Hamlet. 315 She lifts the cup. HAMLET Expert madam. Rex Gertrude, do not drinkable. QUEEN I will, my lord; I pray y'all pardon me. She drinks. KING, aside It is the poisoned cup. It is too late. Village I dare not potable nevertheless, madam—past and past. 320 QUEEN Come up, allow me wipe thy face.	Gertrude so toasts Hamlet with the poisoned wine, and though Claudius tells her not to potable...she defies him and takes a big sip. Oops.
LAERTES, to Claudius My lord, I'll hitting him now. KING I do not think 't. LAERTES, aside And yet it is virtually confronting my censor. Hamlet Come, for the 3rd, Laertes. You do but coquet. 325 I pray you laissez passer with your best violence. I am afeard y'all make a wanton of me. LAERTES Say you so? Come up on. Play. OSRIC Naught neither fashion. LAERTES Take at you lot now! 330 Laertes wounds Hamlet. So in scuffling they change rapiers, and Village wounds Laertes.	Laertes tells Claudius he'll striking Village now, but he's struggling a little with his conscience. The struggle doesn't last, though. Hamlet does a little trash-talking, like, "Hey Laertes, are you even trying?" and Laertes charges him. He wounds Village with the poisoned sword and they scuffle. In the scuffle, they accidentally change swords, and Hamlet wounds Laertes with the poisoned bract. Oops over again. This isn't exactly going according to plan.
KING Part them. They are incensed. HAMLET Nay, come again. The Queen falls. OSRIC Look to the Queen there, ho! HORATIO They drain on both sides.—How is it, my lord? OSRIC How is 't, Laertes? 335 LAERTES Why equally a woodcock to mine ain springe, Osric. He falls. I am justly killed with mine own treachery. Village How does the Queen? King She swoons to come across them bleed. QUEEN No, no, the potable, the drink! O, my love Hamlet! 340 The drink, the drink! I am poisoned. She dies. Hamlet O villainy! Ho! Allow the door exist locked. Osric exits. Treachery! Seek it out.	All hell starts to break loose. The Queen falls, and Horatio notices that both Village and Laertes are bleeding, which shouldn't happen in a duel with condom tipped foils. Claudius tries to say Gertrude has fainted because of the sight of claret, merely Gertrude says no, her drink was poisoned. Hamlet orders Osric to lock the doors so they can root out the treachery.
LAERTES It is hither, Hamlet. Hamlet, thou art slain. No med'cinematics in the earth tin can practice thee skillful. 345 In thee in that location is non half an hour's life. The treacherous instrument is in thy hand, Unbated and envenomed. The foul exercise Hath turned itself on me. Lo, here I lie, Never to rise once again. Thy mother's poisoned. 350 I can no more. The King, the King's to arraign.	They don't have to await as well difficult to find the traitor, considering Laertes blurts out the whole sordid programme in his next breath. The sword was poisoned, the vino was poisoned, and the King'due south to blame.
HAMLET The indicate envenomed besides! Then, venom, to thy work. Hurts the King. ALL Treason, treason! KING O, withal defend me, friends! I am but injure. 355 Village Here, k incestuous, murd'rous, damnèd Dane, Drink off this potion. Is thy matrimony here? Forcing him to beverage the toxicant. Follow my mother. King dies.	In the adjacent six seconds, Hamlet finally does what he's been talking almost for the last two hours, and he does information technology twice over. First he stabs Claudius with the poisoned blade, then he makes him drink the poisoned wine. Claudius dies.
LAERTES He is justly served. It is a poison tempered by himself. 360 Commutation forgiveness with me, noble Village. Mine and my father's expiry come not upon thee, Nor thine on me. Dies.	Laertes declares that Claudius got what he deserved. He also absolves both himself and Hamlet of responsibility for whatsoever of the deaths that have occurred...or are about to. Then he dies. (But information technology's non Hamlet'southward fault.)
Hamlet Sky make thee costless of it. I follow thee.— I am dead, Horatio.—Wretched queen, adieu.— 365 You that wait stake and tremble at this adventure, That are but mutes or audience to this act, Had I but time (as this fell sergeant, Death, Is strict in his arrest), O, I could tell you lot— But let it be.—Horatio, I am dead. 370 Thou livest; study me and my cause aright To the unsatisfied.	Hamlet realizes he'south nearly to die, likewise, so he says he doesn't have enough time to tell the story himself, merely Horatio should explain to the globe what just happened.
HORATIO Never believe information technology. I am more than an antique Roman than a Dane. Here'south yet some liquor left. He picks up the loving cup. 375	Horatio says no mode. At that place's however some wine left, and he wants to have a tragic ending, besides.
Village As k 'rt a man, Give me the cup. Let go! By heaven, I'll ha 't. O God, Horatio, what a wounded name, Things continuing thus unknown, shall I leave backside me! 380 If thou didst ever hold me in thy heart, Absent-minded thee from felicity awhile And in this harsh earth describe thy breath in hurting To tell my story. A march afar off and shot within. What warlike dissonance is this? 385	Seriously, man, Hamlet says. Someone who knows what happened here has to live to explicate all of this. He grabs the cup from Horatio and so pauses when he hears the sounds of marching soldiers.
Enter Osric. OSRIC Immature Fortinbras, with conquest come from Poland, To thursday' ambassadors of England gives This warlike volley. HAMLET O, I die, Horatio! The stiff poison quite o'ercrows my spirit. 390 I cannot live to hear the news from England. But I do prophesy th' election lights On Fortinbras; he has my dying voice. And then tell him, with thursday' occurrents, more and less, Which take solicited—the residual is silence. 395 O, O, O, O! Dies.	It'south Fortinbras and his army, returning from Poland. Village says he won't alive long plenty to hear the news from England, just he declares Fortinbras should become the next King of Kingdom of denmark...probably considering everyone in Denmark is dead.
HORATIO Now cracks a noble centre. Good dark, sweetness prince, And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. March within. Why does the pulsate come up hither? Enter Fortinbras with the English Ambassadors with Drum, Colors, and Attendants. FORTINBRAS Where is this sight? 400 HORATIO What is it you lot would meet? If goose egg of woe or wonder, cease your search. FORTINBRAS This quarry cries on havoc. O proud Death, What banquet is toward in thine eternal cell That 1000 so many princes at a shot 405 So bloodily hast struck? AMBASSADOR The sight is dismal, And our affairs from England come likewise late. The ears are senseless that should give united states of america hearing To tell him his commandment is fulfilled, 410 That Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead. Where should we have our thanks? HORATIO Not from his mouth, Had it th' ability of life to thank you lot. 415 He never gave commandment for their death. But since, so jump upon this bloody question, You from the Polack wars, and you lot from England, Are hither arrived, give order that these bodies High on a stage be placed to the view, 420 And allow me speak to thursday' yet unknowing earth How these things came about. Then shall you hear Of carnal, encarmine, and unnatural acts, Of accidental judgments, casual slaughters, Of deaths put on by cunning and forced cause, 425 And, in this upshot, purposes mistook Autumn'n on thursday' inventors' heads. All this can I Truly deliver.	Horatio bids goodnight to Village simply as Fortinbras enters with the English ambassadors. Fortinbras is puzzled by all of the dead bodies strewn nearly. The English ambassadors say they've just come to written report that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern have been killed, according to orders. Everyone is appropriately shocked, but Horatio promises to explain the unabridged encarmine story.
FORTINBRAS Let us haste to hear it And telephone call the noblest to the audience. 430 For me, with sorrow I embrace my fortune. I have some rights of memory in this kingdom, Which now to claim my vantage doth invite me. HORATIO Of that I shall take also cause to speak, And from his mouth whose voice will describe on 435 more. Just let this same exist before long performed Even while men'southward minds are wild, lest more mischance On plots and errors happen. 440 FORTINBRAS Permit four captains Behave Hamlet similar a soldier to the stage, For he was likely, had he been put on, To have proved well-nigh royal; and for his passage, The soldier's music and the rite of state of war 445 Speak loudly for him. Take up the bodies. Such a sight as this Becomes the field but here shows much awry. Go, bid the soldiers shoot. They go out, marching, afterward the which, a peal of ordnance are shot off.	Fortinbras says it's all really too bad, only he'southward pretty certain he has some rights to the throne. Yeah, Horatio has some information to share on that, too. (Practiced thing he didn't potable that vino.) In the meantime, Village should have a fine burial with the rites of state of war and soldier'south music, since Fortinbras is sure that Village would've been a good male monarch. And, with a body count of 8 (Polonius, Ophelia, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, Laertes, Gertrude, Claudius, and Village), it's over: The Terminate.
