And will not let belief take hold of him

With us to watch the minutes of this night,

That, if again this apparition come,

He may approve our eyes and speak to it.”Slide3

“I find thee apt;

And duller

shouldest

thou be than the fat weed

That rots itself in ease on Lethe wharf,

Wouldst thou not stir in this. Now, Hamlet, hear:

‘Tis

given out that, sleeping in my orchard,

A serpent stung me; so the whole ear of Denmark

Is by a forged process of my death

Rankly abused; but know, thou noble youth,

The serpent that did sting thy father’s life

Now wears his crown.”Slide5

“Rest, rest, perturbed spirit! So, gentlemen,

With all my love I do commend me to you;

And who so poor a man as Hamlet is

May do t’ express his love and

friending

to you,

God willing, shall not lack. Let us go in together;

And still your fingers on your lips, I pray.

The time is out of joint. O cursed spite

That ever I was born to set it right!

Nay, come, let’s go together.”Slide7
