Question

To be, or not to be : that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing
end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That Áesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of ofÀce and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.–Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd.
