Hamlet Monologue

From Hamlet by William Shakespeare

1:04 min

By and by is easily said. Leave me, friends. ’Tis now the very witching time of night, When churchyards yawn, and hell itself breathes out Contagion to this world. Now could I drink hot blood, And do such bitter business as the day Would quake to look on. Soft now, to my mother. O heart, lose not thy nature; let not ever The soul of Nero enter this firm bosom: Let me be cruel, not unnatural. I will speak daggers to her, but use none; My tongue and soul in this be hypocrites. How in my words somever she be shent, To give them seals never, my soul, consent. SCENE III. A room in the Castle. Enter King, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
