TO BE

 

To suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune

To take arms against a sea of troubles

To bear the whips and scorns of time, the oppressor's wrong, the proud man contumely, the pangs of despised love, the law's delay, the insolence of office and the spurns that patient merit of the unworthy takes

To bear, to grunt and sweat under a weary life

 

NOT TO BE

 

To die = to sleep

To say we end the heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks

Consummation devoutly to be wished

To die = to sleep = perchanche to dream

What dreams may come

The dread of something after death

The undiscovered country from whose no traveller returns

To fly to an unknown place
