If thou
didst ever
thy dear
father
love— /
Revenge
his foul
and most
unnatural
murder. /
Murder
most foul,
as in the
best it
is; / But
this most
foul,
strange,
and
unnatural...
/’Tis
given out
that,sleeping
in mine
orchard, /
A serpent
stung me;
so the
whole ear
of Denmark
/ Is by a
forged
process of
mydeath /
Rankly
abus’d;
but know,
thou noble
youth, /
The
serpent
that did
sting thy
father’s
life / Now
wearshis
crown... /
O,
horrible!
