Hamlet

Our chiefest courtier, cousin and our son!

Frailty, thy name is woman!

O, that this too too solid flesh would melt,

Thaw and resolve itself into a dew...         

A figure like your father...!

Remember well what I have said to you.

Do not believe his vows...

It then draws near the season

Wherein the spirit held his wont to walk.

I'll call thee Hamlet,

King, father, royal Dane. O answer  me!

I am thy father's spirit

Doomed for a certain term to walk the night...

... And for the day confin'd to fast in fires,

Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature

Are burnt and purg'd away.

O my prophetic soul!  My uncle!

The time is out of joint.  O cursed spite,

That ever I was born to set it right.

Swear by his sword!

Come, let's go together!

Plotting madness with friends and lovers
