HAMLET PRINCE OF DENMARK

Act AP Scene G

	0 [[After 3.4.151, Q2 has this more expansive version of Hamlet’s lines of
	which F retains only “refrain . . . abstinence” (the speech prefix is
	added here to assist in computer analysis):]]
l1l	Hamlet	 That monster custom, who all sense doth eat,
l2l		Of habits devilish, is angel yet in this:
l3l		That to the use of actions fair and good
l4l		He likewise gives a frock or livery
l5l		That aptly is put on. Refrain tonight,
l6l		And that shall lend a kind of easiness
l7l		To the next abstinence, the next more easy—
l8l		For use almost can change the stamp of nature—
l9l		And either in the devil, or throw him out
l10l		With wondrous potency.
