HAMLET




To be, or not to be: that is the question,


Whether'tis nobler in the mind to suffer


The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,


Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,


And by opposing end them. To die,to sleep;


No more; and by a sleep to say we end


The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks


That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation


Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep.


To sleep, perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;


For in that sleep of death what dreams may come


When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,


Must give us pause. There's the respect


That makes calamity of so long life;


For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,


Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,


The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,


The insolence of office, and the spurns


That patient merit of th'unworthy takes,


When he himself might his quietus make


With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,


To grunt and sweat under a weary life,


But that the dread of something after death,


The undiscovered country from whose bourn


No traveller returns, puzzles the will,


And makes us rather bear those ills we have


Than fly to others that we know not of?


Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,


And thus the native hue of resolution


Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,


And enterprises of great pitch and moment


With this regard their currents turn awry


And lose the name of action.
