More honored in the breach than the observance.

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 Porcupine.

Act i. Sc. 5.
O my prophetic soul! my uncle !

Act iii. Sc. 1.
OV To be, or not to be that is the question:

Whether 't is nobler in the mind, to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, 5) And, by opposing, end them? - To die -- to sleep

and, by a sleep, to say we end
The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to; — 't is a consummation

Devoutly to be wished. To die; – to sleep; 19 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.

The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely.

The spurns

bu

That patient merit of the unworthy takes;
When he

el 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

2
The undiscovered country, from whose bournel
No traveller returns puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have,
Than fly to others that we know not of ?

95 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.

Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remembered.
