6/TITRE=HAMLET 6HAMLET MEETS HIS FATHER'S GHOST 6 6GHOST. I am thy father's spirit ; 6 Doomed for a certain term to walk the night, 6 And for the day confined to fast in fires, 6 Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature 6 Are burnt and purged away (...) List, list, O list!6 If thou didst ever thy dear father love- 6HAMLET. O God ! 6GHOST. Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder. 6HAMLET. Murder ? 6GHOST. Murder most foul, as in the best it is ; 6 But this most foul, strange and unnatural. 6HAMLET. Haste me to know't, that I, with wings as 6 swift 6 As meditation or the thoughts of love 6 May sweep to my revenge. 6GHOST. I find thee apt. (...) 6 Now, Hamlet, hear : 6 'Tis given out that, sleeping in mine orchard, 6 A serpent stung me ; so the whole ear of Denmark 6 Is by a forged process of my death 6 Rankly abused ; but know, thou noble youth, 6 The serpent that did sting thy father's life 6 Now wears his crown. 6HAMLET. O my prophetic soul ! 6 My uncle ! (...) 6GHOST. Thus was I, sleeping, by a brother's hand, 6 Of life, of crown, of queen, at once dispatched. 6 Cut off even in the blossoms of my sin, 6 Unhouseled, disappointed, unaneled, 6 No reckoning made, but sent to my account 6 With all my imperfections on my head : 6 O horrible ! O horrible! most horrible ! 6 If thou hast nature in thee, bear it not. (...) 6 Adieu, adieu ! Hamlet, remember me. (Exit.) 6HAMLET. (...) Remember thee ? 6 Ay, thou poor ghost, while memory holds a seat 6 In this distracted globe. Remember thee ? 6 Yea, from the table of my memory 6 I'll wipe away all trivial fond records, 6 All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past, 6 That youth and observation copied there ; 6 And thy commandment all alone shall live 6 Within the book and volume of my brain, 6 Unmixed with baser matter. (...) Now to my word ; 6 It is, 'Adieu, adieu ! remember me'. 6 I have sworn't. 6 6 HAMLET by William SHAKESPEARE (Act I, Scene 5).
