HAMLET'S MONOLOGUE

 

 

 

 

ADVANTAGES TO DIE

 

ADVANTAGES TO LIVE

‘And by a sleep to say we end

The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh is heir to'

 

 

‘To die, to sleep--

No more--and by a sleep to say we end

The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wished.'

 

 

 

‘But that the dread of something after death,

The undiscovered country, from whose bourn

No traveller returns, puzzles the will,

And makes us rather bear those ills we have

Than fly to others that we know not of?'

 

‘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.'
