Barnardo- Has this thing appeared again?

Barnardo- I have seen nothing.

Marcellus- Look where it comes again!

Barnardo- Looks it not like the king?

Horatio- I charge thee, speak.

Marcellus- 'Tis gone and will not answer.

ACT 1, SCENE 2


Claudias-  Young Fortinbras, importing the surrender of those lands, lost by his father to our lost valiant brother. So much for him. To business with the king more than the scope of these dilated articles allow. Farewell, and let your haste commend your duty.

Cornelius, Voltemand- In that will we show our duty.

Claudias- What is't Laertes?

Laertes-Your leave and favor to return to France.

Claudias- Take thy fair hour, Laertes. But now Hamlet.

Hamlet- A little more than kin and less than kind.

Claudias-How is it that cloulds still hang on you?

Hamlet- I am too much i'the sun.

Gertrude- Good Hamlet.

Claudias- 'Tis unmanly grief. It shows a will most incorrect to heaven.

Gertrude- Stay with us.

Hamlet-I shall in all my best obey you, madam.

Horatio- Hail to your lordship.

Hamlet- Sir, my good friend.

Marcellus- My good lord.

Horatio- I came to see your father's funeral.

Hamlet- Methinks I see my father.

Horatio- I saw him yesternight.

Hamlet- But where was this?

Marcellus- Upon the platform. Armed my lord.

Hamlet- Upon the platform, I'll visit you.
