To be or not to be

• To die- to sleep- No more and by a sleep to
  say we end The heartache, and the thousand
  natural shocks That flesh is heir to, tis a
  consummation Devoutly to be wish'd.

22

• To die- to sleep. To sleep- perchance to dream
  ay, there's the rub For in that sleep of death
  what dreams may come When we have shuffled off
  this mortal coil, Must give us pause There's
  the respect That makes calamity of so long life

23

• For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
• Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's
  contumely, The pangs of despis'd love, the law's
  delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns
  That patient merit of th' unworthy takes,
• When he himself might his quietus make With a
  bare bodkin?

24

• Who would these fardels bear, To grunt and
  sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of
  something after death- The undiscover'd country,
  from whose bourn No traveller returns- puzzles
  the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we
  have Than fly to others that we know not of?

25

• Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
  And thus the native hue of resolution Is
  sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And
  enterprises of great pith and moment With this
  regard their currents turn awry And lose the
  name of action.
