steel； Be soft as sinews of the new…born babe！ All may be well。He kneels。
Enter Hamlet。
Ham。 Now might I do it pat； now he is praying； And now I'll do't。 And
so he goes to heaven； And so am I reveng'd。 That would be scann'd。 A
villain kills my father； and for that； I； his sole son； do this same villain
send To heaven。 Why； this is hire and salary； not revenge！ He took my
father grossly； full of bread； With all his crimes broad blown； as flush as
May； And how his audit stands； who knows save heaven？ But in our
circumstance and course of thought； 'Tis heavy with him； and am I then
reveng'd； To take him in the purging of his soul； When he is fit and
seasoned for his passage？ No。 Up； sword； and know thou a more horrid
hent。 When he is drunk asleep； or in his rage； Or in th' incestuous pleasure
of his bed； At gaming； swearing； or about some act That has no relish of
salvation in't… Then trip him； that his heels may kick at heaven； And that
his soul may be as damn'd and black As hell； whereto it goes。 My mother
stays。 This physic but prolongs thy sickly days。Exit。 King。 ＇rises＇ My
words fly up； my thoughts remain below。 Words without thoughts never to
heaven go。 Exit。

THE TRAGEDY OF HAMLET； PRINCE OF DENMARK
SCENE IV。 The Queen's closet。
Enter Queen and Polonius。
Pol。 He will come straight。 Look you lay home to him。 Tell him his
pranks have been too broad to bear with； And that your Grace hath
screen'd and stood between Much heat and him。 I'll silence me even here。
Pray you be round with him。 Ham。 （within） Mother； mother； mother！
Queen。 I'll warrant you； fear me not。 Withdraw； I hear him coming。
＇Polonius hides behind the arras。＇
Enter Hamlet。
Ham。 Now； mother； what's the matter？ Queen。 Hamlet； thou hast thy
father much offended。 Ham。 Mother； you have my father much offended。
Queen。 Come； come； you answer with an idle tongue。 Ham。 Go； go； you
question with a wicked tongue。 Queen。 Why； how now； Hamlet？ Ham。
What's the matter now？ Queen。 Have you forgot me？ Ham。 No； by the
rood； not so！ You are the Queen； your husband's brother's wife； And
（would it were not so！） you are my mother。 Queen。 Nay； then I'll set those
to you that can speak。 Ham。 Come； come； and sit you down。 You shall not
budge； You go not till I set you up a glass Where you may see the inmost
part of you。 Queen。 What wilt thou do？ Thou wilt not murther me？ Help；
help； ho！ Pol。 ＇behind＇ What； ho！ help； help； help！ Ham。 ＇draws＇ How now？
a rat？ Dead for a ducat； dead！ ＇Makes a pass through the arras and＇ kills
Polonius。 Pol。 ＇behind＇ O； I am slain！ Queen。 O me； what hast thou done？
Ham。 Nay； I know not。 Is it the King？ Queen。 O； what a rash and bloody
deed is this！ Ham。 A bloody deed… almost as bad； good mother； As kill a
king； and marry with his brother。 Queen。 As kill a king？ Ham。 Ay； lady； it
was my word。＇Lifts up the arras and sees Polonius。＇ Thou wretched； rash；
intruding fool； farewell！ I took thee for thy better。 Take thy fortune。 Thou
find'st to be too busy is some danger。 Leave wringing of your hands。 Peace！
sit you down And let me wring your heart； for so I shall If it be made of
penetrable stuff； If damned custom have not braz'd it so That it is proof
and bulwark against sense。 Queen。 What have I done that thou dar'st wag
thy tongue In noise so rude against me？ Ham。 Such an act That blurs the
grace and blush of modesty； Calls virtue hypocrite； takes off the rose From
53

the fair forehead of an innocent love； And sets a blister there； makes
marriage vows As false as dicers' oaths。 O； such a deed As from the body
of contraction plucks The very soul； and sweet religion makes A rhapsody
of words！ Heaven's face doth glow； Yea； this solidity and compound mass；
With tristful visage； as against the doom； Is thought…sick at the act。 Queen。
Ah me； what act； That roars so loud and thunders in the index？ Ham。 Look
here upon th's picture； and on this； The counterfeit presentment of two
brothers。 See what a grace was seated on this brow； Hyperion's curls； the
front of Jove himself； An eye like Mars； to threaten and command； A
station like the herald Mercury New lighted on a heaven…kissing hill： A
combination and a form indeed Where every god did seem to set his seal
To give the world assurance of a man。 This was your husband。 Look you
now what follows。 Here is your husband； like a mildew'd ear Blasting his
wholesome brother。 Have you eyes？ Could you on this fair mountain leave
to feed； And batten on this moor？ Ha！ have you eyes You cannot call it
love； for at your age The heyday in the blood is tame； it's humble； And
waits upon the judgment； and what judgment Would step from this to this？
Sense sure you have； Else could you not have motion； but sure that sense
Is apoplex'd； for madness would not err； Nor sense to ecstacy was ne'er so
thrall'd But it reserv'd some quantity of choice To serve in such a
difference。 What devil was't That thus hath cozen'd you at hoodman…blind？
Eyes without feeling； feeling without sight； Ears without hands or eyes；
smelling sans all； Or but a sickly part of one true sense Could not so mope。
O shame！ where is thy blush？ Rebellious hell； If thou canst mutine in a
matron's bones； To flaming youth let virtue be as wax And melt in her own
fire。 Proclaim no shame When the compulsive ardour gives the charge；
Since frost itself as actively doth burn； And reason panders will。 Queen。 O
Hamlet； speak no more！ Thou turn'st mine eyes into my very soul； And
there I see such black and grained spots As will not leave their tinct。 Ham。
Nay； but to live In the rank sweat of an enseamed bed； Stew'd in
corruption； honeying and making love Over the nasty sty！ Queen。 O； speak
to me no more！ These words like daggers enter in mine ears。 No more；
sweet Hamlet！ Ham。 A murtherer and a villain！ A slave that is not
twentieth part the tithe Of your precedent lord； a vice of kings； A cutpurse
54

of the empire and the rule； That from a shelf the precious diadem stole
And put it in his pocket！ Queen。 No more！
Enter the Ghost in his nightgown。
Ham。 A king of shreds and patches！… Save me and hover o'er me with
your wings； You heavenly guards！ What would your gracious figure？
Queen。 Alas； he's mad！ Ham。 Do you not come your tardy son to chide；
That； laps'd in time and passion； lets go by Th' important acting of your
dread command？ O； say！ Ghost。 Do not forget。 This visitation Is but to
whet thy almost blunted purpose。 But look； amazement on thy mother sits。
O； step between her and her fighting soul Conceit in weakest bodies
strongest works。 Speak to her； Hamlet。 Ham。 How is it with you； lady？
Queen。 Alas； how is't with you； That you do bend your eye on vacancy；
And with th' encorporal air do hold discourse？ Forth at your eyes your
spirits wildly peep； And； as the sleeping soldiers in th' alarm； Your bedded
hairs； like life in excrements； Start up and stand an end。 O gentle son；
Upon the heat and flame of thy distemper Sprinkle cool patience！
Whereon do you look？ Ham。 On him； on him！ Look you how pale he
glares！ His form and cause conjoin'd； preaching to stones； Would make
them capable。… Do not look upon me； Lest with this piteous action you
convert My stern effects。 Then what I have to do Will want true colour…
tears perchance for blood。 Queen。 To whom do you speak this？ Ham。 Do
you see nothing there？ Queen。 Nothing at all； yet all that is I see。 Ham。
Nor did you nothing hear？ Queen。 No； nothing but ourselves。 Ham。 Why；
look you there！ Look how it steals away！ My father； in his habit as he liv'd！
Look where he goes even now out at the portal！Exit Ghost。 Queen。 This is
the very coinage of your brain。 This bodiless creation ecstasy Is very
cunning in。 Ham。 Ecstasy？ My pulse as yours doth temperately keep time
And makes as healthful music。 It is not madness That I have utt'red。 Bring
me to the test； And I the matter will reword； which madness Would
gambol from。 Mother； for love of grace； Lay not that flattering unction to
your soul That not your trespass but my madness speaks。 It will but skin
and film the ulcerous place； Whiles rank corruption； mining all within；
Infects unseen。 Confess yourself to heaven； Repent what's past； avoid
what is to come； And do not spread the compost on the weeds To make

them ranker。 Forgive me this my virtue； For in the fatness of these pursy
times Virtue itself of vice must pardon beg… Yea； curb and woo for leave to
do him good。 Queen。 O Hamlet； thou hast cleft my heart in twain。 Ham。 O；
throw away the worser part of it； And live the purer with the other half；
Good night… but go not to my uncle's bed。 Assume a virtue； if you have it
not。 That monster； custom； who all sense doth eat Of habits evil； is angel
yet in this； That to the use of actions fair and good He likewise gives a
frock or livery； That aptly is put on。 Refrain to…night； And that shall lend a
kind of easiness To the next abstinence； the next more easy； For use
almost can change the stamp of nature； And either ＇master＇ the devil； or
throw him out With wondrous potency。 Once more； good night； And when
you are desirous to be blest； I'll blessing beg of you。… For this same lord； I
do repent； but heaven hath pleas'd it so； To punish me with this； and this
with me； That I must be their scourge and minister。 I will bestow him； and
will answer well The death I gave him。 So ag
