SCENE V. Another part of the platform.
|
|
|
|
Enter GHOST and HAMLET
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
Where wilt thou lead me? speak; I'll go no further.
|
|
|
|
Ghost
|
|
|
|
Mark me.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
I will.
|
|
|
|
Ghost
|
|
|
|
My hour is almost come,
|
|
When I to sulphurous and tormenting flames
|
|
Must render up myself.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
Alas, poor ghost!
|
|
|
|
Ghost
|
|
|
|
Pity me not, but lend thy serious hearing
|
|
To what I shall unfold.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
Speak; I am bound to hear.
|
|
|
|
Ghost
|
|
|
|
So art thou to revenge, when thou shalt hear.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
What?
|
|
|
|
Ghost
|
|
|
|
I am thy father's spirit,
|
|
Doom'd for a certain term to walk the night,
|
|
And for the day confined to fast in fires,
|
|
Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature
|
|
Are burnt and purged away. But that I am forbid
|
|
To tell the secrets of my prison-house,
|
|
I could a tale unfold whose lightest word
|
|
Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood,
|
|
Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres,
|
|
Thy knotted and combined locks to part
|
|
And each particular hair to stand on end,
|
|
Like quills upon the fretful porpentine:
|
|
But this eternal blazon must not be
|
|
To ears of flesh and blood. List, list, O, list!
|
|
If thou didst ever thy dear father love--
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
O God!
|
|
|
|
Ghost
|
|
|
|
Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
Murder!
|
|
|
|
Ghost
|
|
|
|
Murder most foul, as in the best it is;
|
|
But this most foul, strange and unnatural.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
Haste me to know't, that I, with wings as swift
|
|
As meditation or the thoughts of love,
|
|
May sweep to my revenge.
|
|
|
|
Ghost
|
|
|
|
I find thee apt;
|
|
And duller shouldst thou be than the fat weed
|
|
That roots 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.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
O my prophetic soul! My uncle!
|
|
|
|
Ghost
|
|
|
|
Ay, that incestuous, that adulterate beast,
|
|
With witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts,--
|
|
O wicked wit and gifts, that have the power
|
|
So to seduce!--won to his shameful lust
|
|
The will of my most seeming-virtuous queen:
|
|
O Hamlet, what a falling-off was there!
|
|
From me, whose love was of that dignity
|
|
That it went hand in hand even with the vow
|
|
I made to her in marriage, and to decline
|
|
Upon a wretch whose natural gifts were poor
|
|
To those of mine!
|
|
But virtue, as it never will be moved,
|
|
Though lewdness court it in a shape of heaven,
|
|
So lust, though to a radiant angel link'd,
|
|
Will sate itself in a celestial bed,
|
|
And prey on garbage.
|
|
But, soft! methinks I scent the morning air;
|
|
Brief let me be. Sleeping within my orchard,
|
|
My custom always of the afternoon,
|
|
Upon my secure hour thy uncle stole,
|
|
With juice of cursed hebenon in a vial,
|
|
And in the porches of my ears did pour
|
|
The leperous distilment; whose effect
|
|
Holds such an enmity with blood of man
|
|
That swift as quicksilver it courses through
|
|
The natural gates and alleys of the body,
|
|
And with a sudden vigour doth posset
|
|
And curd, like eager droppings into milk,
|
|
The thin and wholesome blood: so did it mine;
|
|
And a most instant tetter bark'd about,
|
|
Most lazar-like, with vile and loathsome crust,
|
|
All my smooth body.
|
|
Thus was I, sleeping, by a brother's hand
|
|
Of life, of crown, of queen, at once dispatch'd:
|
|
Cut off even in the blossoms of my sin,
|
|
Unhousel'd, disappointed, unanel'd,
|
|
No reckoning made, but sent to my account
|
|
With all my imperfections on my head:
|
|
O, horrible! O, horrible! most horrible!
|
|
If thou hast nature in thee, bear it not;
|
|
Let not the royal bed of Denmark be
|
|
A couch for luxury and damned incest.
|
|
But, howsoever thou pursuest this act,
|
|
Taint not thy mind, nor let thy soul contrive
|
|
Against thy mother aught: leave her to heaven
|
|
And to those thorns that in her bosom lodge,
|
|
To prick and sting her. Fare thee well at once!
|
|
The glow-worm shows the matin to be near,
|
|
And 'gins to pale his uneffectual fire:
|
|
Adieu, adieu! Hamlet, remember me.
|
|
|
|
Exit
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
O all you host of heaven! O earth! what else?
|
|
And shall I couple hell? O, fie! Hold, hold, my heart;
|
|
And you, my sinews, grow not instant old,
|
|
But bear me stiffly up. Remember thee!
|
|
Ay, thou poor ghost, while memory holds a seat
|
|
In this distracted globe. Remember thee!
|
|
Yea, from the table of my memory
|
|
I'll wipe away all trivial fond records,
|
|
All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past,
|
|
That youth and observation copied there;
|
|
And thy commandment all alone shall live
|
|
Within the book and volume of my brain,
|
|
Unmix'd with baser matter: yes, by heaven!
|
|
O most pernicious woman!
|
|
O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain!
|
|
My tables,--meet it is I set it down,
|
|
That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain;
|
|
At least I'm sure it may be so in Denmark:
|
|
|
|
Writing
|
|
So, uncle, there you are. Now to my word;
|
|
It is 'Adieu, adieu! remember me.'
|
|
I have sworn 't.
|
|
|
|
MARCELLUS HORATIO
|
|
|
|
[Within] My lord, my lord,--
|
|
|
|
MARCELLUS
|
|
|
|
[Within] Lord Hamlet,--
|
|
|
|
HORATIO
|
|
|
|
[Within] Heaven secure him!
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
So be it!
|
|
|
|
HORATIO
|
|
|
|
[Within] Hillo, ho, ho, my lord!
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
Hillo, ho, ho, boy! come, bird, come.
|
|
|
|
Enter HORATIO and MARCELLUS
|
|
|
|
MARCELLUS
|
|
|
|
How is't, my noble lord?
|
|
|
|
HORATIO
|
|
|
|
What news, my lord?
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
O, wonderful!
|
|
|
|
HORATIO
|
|
|
|
Good my lord, tell it.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
No; you'll reveal it.
|
|
|
|
HORATIO
|
|
|
|
Not I, my lord, by heaven.
|
|
|
|
MARCELLUS
|
|
|
|
Nor I, my lord.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
How say you, then; would heart of man once think it?
|
|
But you'll be secret?
|
|
|
|
HORATIO MARCELLUS
|
|
|
|
Ay, by heaven, my lord.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
There's ne'er a villain dwelling in all Denmark
|
|
But he's an arrant knave.
|
|
|
|
HORATIO
|
|
|
|
There needs no ghost, my lord, come from the grave
|
|
To tell us this.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
Why, right; you are i' the right;
|
|
And so, without more circumstance at all,
|
|
I hold it fit that we shake hands and part:
|
|
You, as your business and desire shall point you;
|
|
For every man has business and desire,
|
|
Such as it is; and for mine own poor part,
|
|
Look you, I'll go pray.
|
|
|
|
HORATIO
|
|
|
|
These are but wild and whirling words, my lord.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
I'm sorry they offend you, heartily;
|
|
Yes, 'faith heartily.
|
|
|
|
HORATIO
|
|
|
|
There's no offence, my lord.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
Yes, by Saint Patrick, but there is, Horatio,
|
|
And much offence too. Touching this vision here,
|
|
It is an honest ghost, that let me tell you:
|
|
For your desire to know what is between us,
|
|
O'ermaster 't as you may. And now, good friends,
|
|
As you are friends, scholars and soldiers,
|
|
Give me one poor request.
|
|
|
|
HORATIO
|
|
|
|
What is't, my lord? we will.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
Never make known what you have seen to-night.
|
|
|
|
HORATIO MARCELLUS
|
|
|
|
My lord, we will not.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
Nay, but swear't.
|
|
|
|
HORATIO
|
|
|
|
In faith,
|
|
My lord, not I.
|
|
|
|
MARCELLUS
|
|
|
|
Nor I, my lord, in faith.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
Upon my sword.
|
|
|
|
MARCELLUS
|
|
|
|
We have sworn, my lord, already.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
Indeed, upon my sword, indeed.
|
|
|
|
Ghost
|
|
|
|
[Beneath] Swear.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
Ah, ha, boy! say'st thou so? art thou there,
|
|
truepenny?
|
|
Come on--you hear this fellow in the cellarage--
|
|
Consent to swear.
|
|
|
|
HORATIO
|
|
|
|
Propose the oath, my lord.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
Never to speak of this that you have seen,
|
|
Swear by my sword.
|
|
|
|
Ghost
|
|
|
|
[Beneath] Swear.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
Hic et ubique? then we'll shift our ground.
|
|
Come hither, gentlemen,
|
|
And lay your hands again upon my sword:
|
|
Never to speak of this that you have heard,
|
|
Swear by my sword.
|
|
|
|
Ghost
|
|
|
|
[Beneath] Swear.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
Well said, old mole! canst work i' the earth so fast?
|
|
A worthy pioner! Once more remove, good friends.
|
|
|
|
HORATIO
|
|
|
|
O day and night, but this is wondrous strange!
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.
|
|
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
|
|
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. But come;
|
|
Here, as before, never, so help you mercy,
|
|
How strange or odd soe'er I bear myself,
|
|
As I perchance hereafter shall think meet
|
|
To put an antic disposition on,
|
|
That you, at such times seeing me, never shall,
|
|
With arms encumber'd thus, or this headshake,
|
|
Or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase,
|
|
As 'Well, well, we know,' or 'We could, an if we would,'
|
|
Or 'If we list to speak,' or 'There be, an if they might,'
|
|
Or such ambiguous giving out, to note
|
|
That you know aught of me: this not to do,
|
|
So grace and mercy at your most need help you, Swear.
|
|
|
|
Ghost
|
|
|
|
[Beneath] Swear.
|
|
|
|
HAMLET
|
|
|
|
Rest, rest, perturbed spirit!
|
|
|
|
They swear
|
|
So, gentlemen,
|
|
With all my love I do commend me to you:
|
|
And what so poor a man as Hamlet is
|
|
May do, to 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.
|
|
|
|
Exeunt
|
