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.'
