<h1> Hamlet, Act II Scene ii </h1>
</header>
<article>
<blockquote>
<h3>Hamlet</h3>
<p>O, what a rogue and <dfn>peasant slave</dfn> am I!<br>
Is it not <dfn>monstrous</dfn> that this player here,<br>
But in a fiction, in a dream of passion,<br>
Could force his soul so to his own <dfn>conceit</dfn> <br>
That from her working all the visage <dfn>wann'd</dfn> <br>
Tears in his eyes, distraction in his <dfn>aspect</dfn> <br>
A broken voice, an' his whole function suiting<br>
With forms to his conceit? And all for nothing,
</p>
<p>For <dfn>Hecuba</dfn>!
What's Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba<br>
That he should weep for her? What would he do<br>
Had he the motive and the <dfn>cue</dfn> for passion<br>
That I have? He would drown the stage with tears,<br>
And cleave the general ear with horrid speech,<br>
Make mad the guilty, and appall the free,<br>
Confound the ignorant, and amaze indeed<br>
The very faculties of eyes and ears.
</p>
<p>Yet I,
A dull and <dfn>muddy-mettled</dfn> rascal, peak<br>
Like John-a-dreams, <dfn>unpregnant of my cause</dfn>,<br>
And can say nothing; no, not for a king,<br>
Upon whose property and most dear life<br>
A damn'd defeat was made. Am I a coward?
</p>
<p>Who calls me villain, breaks my <dfn>pate</dfn> across, <br>
Plucks off my beard and blows it in my face,<br>
Tweaks me by the nose, <br>
gives me the lie i' th' throat <dfn>as deep as to the lungs?</dfn><br>
Who does me this? <br>
Hah, <dfn>'swounds</dfn>, I should take it; for it cannot be<br>
But I am <dfn>pigeon-liver'd</dfn>, and lack gall.
</p>
<p>To make oppression bitter, or <dfn>ere</dfn> this<br>
I should 'a' fatted all the <dfn>region kites</dfn><br>
With this slave's <dfn>offal</dfn>. Bloody, bawdy villain!<br>
Remorseless, treacherous, lecherous, <dfn>kindless</dfn> villain!<br>
Why, what an ass am I! This is most brave,<br>
That I, the son of a dear father murthered,<br>
Prompted to my revenge by heaven and hell,<br>
Must like a whore unpack my heart with words,<br>
And <dfn>fall a-cursing</dfn> like a very <dfn>drab</dfn>,<br>
A <dfn>scullion</dfn>. Fie upon't, foh! <dfn>About, my brains!</dfn>
</p>
<p>Hum—I have heard<br>
That guilty creatures sitting at a play<br>
Have by the <dfn>very cunning of the scene</dfn><br>
Been strook so to the soul, that presently<br>
They have proclaim'd their malefactions:<br>
For murther, though it have no tongue, will speak<br>
With most miraculous organ. I'll have these players<br>
Play something like the murther of my father<br>
Before mine uncle. I'll observe his looks,<br>
<dfn>I'll tent him to the quick</dfn>. If 'a do <dfn>blench</dfn>, I know my course.
</p>
<p>The spirit that I have seen<br>
May be a dev'l, and the dev'l hath power<br>
T' assume a pleasing shape, yea, and perhaps,<br>
Out of my weakness and my melancholy,<br>
As he is very potent with such spirits,<br>
<dfn>Abuses me to damn me</dfn>. I'll have grounds<br>
More <dfn>relative</dfn> than this—the play's the thing<br>
Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king</p>
