  2. Act 5; Scene 2 LAERTES 1 Lay her i' the earth:2 And from her fair and unpolluted flesh3May violets spring! I tell thee, churlish priest,4 A ministering angel shall my sister be,5 When thou liest howling.HAMLET 6 What, the fair Ophelia!QUEEN GERTRUDE 7 Sweets to the sweet: farewell!Scattering flowers8 I hoped thou shouldst have been my Hamlet's wife;9 I thought thy bride-bed to have deck'd, sweet maid,10 And not have strew'd thy grave. LAERTES 11 O, treble woe12 Fall ten times treble on that cursed head,13 Whose wicked deed thy most ingenious sense14 Deprived thee of! Hold off the earth awhile,15 Till I have caught her once more in mine arms: Leaps into the grave16 Now pile your dust upon the quick and dead,17 Till of this flat a mountain you have made,18 To o'ertop old Pelion, or the skyish head19 Of blue Olympus.HAMLET 20 [Advancing] What is he whose grief21 Bears such an emphasis? whose phrase of sorrow22 Conjures the wandering stars, and makes them stand23 Like wonder-wounded hearers? This is I,24 Hamlet the Dane.Leaps into the graveLAERTES 25 The devil take thy soul!

I tell thee, churlish priest, / A ministering angel shall my sister be, / When thou liest howling". “O, treble woe / Fall ten times treble on that cursed head,” "Hold off the earth a while, / Till I have caught her once more in mine arms". "pile your dust upon the quick and dead“ "a mountain… To o'ertop old Pelion, or the skyish head / Of blue Olympus” "What is he whose grief / Bears such an emphasis? whose phrase of sorrow / Conjures the wandering stars, and makes them stand / Like wonder-wounded hearers?"

  4. Act 4; Scene 5 LAERTES 1 Where is my father?KING CLAUDIUS 2 Dead.QUEEN GERTRUDE 3But not by him.KING CLAUDIUS 4 Let him demand his fill.LAERTES 5 How came he dead? I'll not be juggled with:6 To hell, allegiance! Vows, to the blackest devil!7Conscience and grace, to the profoundest pit! 8 I dare damnation. To this point I stand,9 That both the worlds I give to negligence,10 Let come what comes; only I'll be revenged11Most thoroughly for my father.KING CLAUDIUS 12 Who shall stay you? LAERTES 13My will, not all the world:14 And for my means, I'll husband them so well,15 They shall go far with little. KING CLAUDIUS 16 Good Laertes,17 If you desire to know the certainty18 Of your dear father's death, is't writ in your revenge,19 That, swoopstake, you will draw both friend and foe,20 Winner and loser?LAERTES21 None but his enemies.KING CLAUDIUS 22 Will you know them then?LAERTES 23 To his good friends thus wide I'll open my arms;24And like the kind life-rendering pelican,25Repast them with my blood.

  6. Act 5; Scene 2 • LAERTES 20I am satisfied in nature, 21Whose motive, in this case, should stir me most 22To my revenge: but in my terms of honour 23I stand aloof; and will no reconcilement, 24Till by some elder masters, of known honour, 25I have a voice and precedent of peace, 26To keep my name ungored. But till that time, 27I do receive your offer'd love like love, 28And will not wrong it. HAMLET 29I embrace it freely; 30And will this brother's wager frankly play. 31Give us the foils. Come on. LAERTES 32Come, one for me. HAMLET 33I'll be your foil, Laertes: in mine ignorance 34Your skill shall, like a star i' the darkest night, 35Stick fiery off indeed. LAERTES 36You mock me, sir. HAMLET 37No, by this hand. KING CLAUDIUS 38Give them the foils, young Osric. Cousin Hamlet, 39You know the wager? HAMLET 40Very well, my lord 41Your grace hath laid the odds o' the weaker side. KING CLAUDIUS 42I do not fear it; I have seen you both: 43But since he is better'd, we have therefore odds. LAERTES 44This is too heavy, let me see another. HAMLET 45This likes me well. These foils have all a length? OSRIC 46Ay, my good lord.

QUEEN GERTRUDE 74He's fat, and scant of breath. 75Here, Hamlet, take my napkin, rub thy brows; 76The queen carouses to thy fortune, Hamlet. HAMLET 77Good madam! KING CLAUDIUS 78Gertrude, do not drink. QUEEN GERTRUDE 79I will, my lord; I pray you, pardon me. KING CLAUDIUS 80It is the poison'd cup: it is too late. HAMLET 81I dare not drink yet, madam; by and by. QUEEN GERTRUDE 82Come, let me wipe thy face. LAERTES 83My lord, I'll hit him now. • LAERTES 20I am satisfied in nature, 21Whose motive, in this case, should stir me most 22To my revenge: but in my terms of honour 23I stand aloof; and will no reconcilement, 24Till by some elder masters, of known honour, 25I have a voice and precedent of peace, 26To keep my name ungored.

HORATIO 89They bleed on both sides. How is it, my lord? OSRIC 90How is't, Laertes? LAERTES 91Why, as a woodcock to mine own springe, Osric; 92 I am justly kill'd with mine own treachery. HAMLET 93How does the queen? KING CLAUDIUS 94She swounds to see them bleed. QUEEN GERTRUDE 95No, no, the drink, the drink,--O my dear Hamlet,-- 96The drink, the drink! I am poison'd.
