Gui. No exorciser harm thee! IMOGEN AWAKING. Yes, sir, to Milford-Haven; Which is the way? I thank you-By yon bush?--Pray, how far thither! I have gone all night :-'Faith, I'll lie down and sleep, And cook to honest creatures: But 'tis not so; Are sometimes like our judgments, blind, good faith As a wren's eye, fear'd gods, a part of it! ACT V. A ROUTED ARMY. No blame be to you, sir; for all was lost, But that the heavens fought: The king himself Of his wings destitute, the army broken, And but the backs of Britons seen, all flying Through a straight lane; the enemy full-hearted, Lolling the tongue with slaughtering, having work More plentiful than tools to do't, struck down Some mortally, some slightly touch'd, some falling *This diminutive adjuration is derived from God's my pity. † An arrow. Merely through fear; that the straight pass was damm'd With dead men, hurt behind, and cowards living To die with lengthen'd shame. DEATH. I, in mine own wo charm'd, Could not find death, where I did hear him groan; Nor feel him where he struck: Being an ugly mon ster, 'Tis strange, he hides him in fresh cups, soft beds, Sweet words; or hath more ministers than we That draw his knives i' the war. HAMLET. АСТ І. PRODIGIES. IN the most high and palmyf state of Rome, A little ere the mightiest Julius fell, The graves stood tenantless, and the sheeted dead As, stars with trains of fire and dews of blood, GHOSTS VANISH AT THE CROWING OF A COCK. Ber. It was about to speak when the cock crew Hor. And then it started like a guilty thing Upon a fearful summons. I have heard, The cock, that is the trumpet of the morn, Doth with his lofty and shrill sounding throat Awake the god of day; and, at his warning, Whether in sea or fire, in earth or air, The extravagant and erring§ spirit hies To his confine: and of the truth herein This present object made probation.|| * Blocked up. § Wandering. + Victorious. + The moon. THE REVERENCE PAID TO CHRISTMAS TIME. It faded on the crowing of the cock. Some say, that ever 'gainst that season comes Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated, This bird of dawning singeth all night long; And then they say no spirit dares stir abroad; The nights are wholesome; then no planets strike, No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm, So hallow'd and so gracious is the time. MORNING. But, look, the morn, in russet mantle clad, Walks o'er the dew of yon high eastern hill. REAL GRIEF. Seems, madam! nay, it is; I know not seems. IMMODERATE GRIEF DISCOMMENDED. 'Tis sweet and commendable in your nature, Hamlet, To give these mourning duties to your father; To do obsequious sorrow: But to persevere Of impious stubbornness; 'tis unmanly grief: A heart unfortified, or mind impatient; Take it to heart? Fie! 'tis a fault to heaven, HAMLET'S SOLILOQUY ON HIS MOTHER'S MARIAGE. His canont 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! O God' Fie on't! O fie! 'tis an unweeded garden, Hyperion to a satyr: so loving to my mother, By what it fed on: And yet, within a month,— A little month; or ere those shoes were old, O heaven! a beast, that wants discourse of reason uncle, My father's brother; but no more like my father, Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears *Dissolve. THE EXTENT OF HUMAN PERFECTION. He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again. CAUTIONS TO YOUNG FEMALES. For Hamlet, and the trifling of his favour, Then weigh what loss your honour may sustain, Fear it, Ophelia, fear it, my dear sister; SATIRE ON UNGRACIOUS PASTORS. t I shall the effect of this good lesson keep, Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven; ADVICE TO A SON GOING TO TRAVEL. Give thy thoughts no tongue, Nor any unproportion'd thought his act. *Believing. + Licentious. † Listen to. Il Careless. § Most cautious. |
