It
goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame,
the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory; this most excellent
canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament,
this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appears
no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation
of vapours. What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason!
How infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and
admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how
like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals!
And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? man delights
not me; no, nor woman neither, though, by your smiling, you
seem to say so. Hamlet, 2. 2

play, I remember, pleased not the million; 't was caviare to

my lord, will you see the players well bestowed? Do you hear,
let them be well used; for they are the abstract and brief chronicles
of the time: after your death you were better have a bad epitaph
than their ill report while you live. Hamlet, 2. 2

every man after his desert, and who should 'scape whipping?
Hamlet, 2. 2
O,
what a rogue and peasant slave am I. Hamlet, 2. 2

Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba,
