Hamlet, Prince of Denmarke. Actus Primus, Scena Prima • Paragraph 118
Stage 1 of 6

Read it through once

_Queen._(L.C.) Good Hamlet, cast thy nighted colour[33] off, And let thine eye look like a friend on Denmark. Do not for ever with thy vailed lids[34] Seek for thy noble father in the dust: Thou know'st 'tis common, all that live must die, Passing through nature to eternity.
