Read it through once
Hamlet's feeling, as it were, a Presage in his own Breast, of the Misfortune impending from his accepting _Laertes's_ Challenge, is beautiful; and we are to note, that our Author in several of his Plays, has brought in the chief Personages as having a sort of prophetick Idea of their Death; as in _Romeo_ and _Juliet_. It was (I doubt not) the Opinion of the Age he lived in.
