Hamlet Soliloquy Act 4 Scene 4
How all occasions do inform against me,/ And spur my dull vindicate What is a man/ If his chief good and market of his time/ Be but to rest period and feed? A beast, no more. / Sure, he that made us with such(prenominal) large discourse,/ Looking before and after, gave us not/ That capability and godlike reason/ To fust in us unused. Now, whether it be/ Bestial oblivion, or some craven scruple / Of thinking too precisely on th event/ A thought which, quartered, hath but one part wisdom/ And ever three move cowardI do not know/ Why yet I live to say This involvements to do,/ Sith I have cause and will and strength and means/ To do t.Examples gross as earth exhort me. / Witness this army of such mass and charge/ Led by a delicate and tender prince,/ Whose spirit with divine ambition puffed/ Makes m come ouths at the invisible event,/ Exposing what is mortal and unsettled/ To all that fortune, d run downh, and danger dare,/ Even for an eggshell. Rightly to be great/ Is not to stir without great argument,/ that greatly to find quarrel in a straw/ When honors at the stake.How suffer I then,/ That have a contract killed, a mother stained,/ Excitements of my reason and my blood,/ And let all sleepwhile, to my shame, I see/ The imminent death of twenty thousand men,/ That for a fantasy and trick of fame/ Go to their graves like beds, fight for a plot/ Whereon the numbers cannot try the cause,/ Which is not tomb bountiful and continent/ To hide the slain? Oh, from this time forth,/ My thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth (IV. iv. 4-68) afterwards everyone exits leaving settlement along with the audience, his true emotions and thoughts comes pouring out.
