THE TRAGEDY OF HAMLET; PRINCE OF DENMARK
and Guildenstern are dead。 Where should we have our thanks? Hor。 Not
from his mouth; Had it th' ability of life to thank you。 He never gave
commandment for their death。 But since; so jump upon this bloody
question; You from the Polack wars; and you from England; Are here
arriv'd; give order that these bodies High on a stage be placed to the view;
And let me speak to the yet unknowing world How these things came
about。 So shall you hear Of carnal; bloody and unnatural acts; Of
accidental judgments; casual slaughters; Of deaths put on by cunning and
forc'd cause; And; in this upshot; purposes mistook Fall'n on th' inventors'
heads。 All this can I Truly deliver。 Fort。 Let us haste to hear it; And call the
noblest to the audience。 For me; with sorrow I embrace my fortune。 I have
some rights of memory in this kingdom Which now; to claim my vantage
doth invite me。 Hor。 Of that I shall have also cause to speak; And from his
mouth whose voice will draw on more。 But let this same be presently
perform'd; Even while men's minds are wild; lest more mischance On plots
and errors happen。 Fort。 Let four captains Bear Hamlet like a soldier to the
stage; For he was likely; had he been put on; To have prov'd most royally;
and for his passage The soldiers' music and the rites of war Speak loudly
for him。 Take up the bodies。 Such a sight as this Becomes the field but
here shows much amiss。 Go; bid the soldiers shoot。 Exeunt marching; after
the which a peal of ordnanceare shot off。
THE END
