- Since I have to memorize this soliloquoy anyway...
-
- 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 heartache and
- the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to.
- Tis a consumation devoulty to be wished, to die.
- to sleep, to sleep perchance to dream-ay, theres the rub.
- For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
- when we have shuffled off this mortal coil must give us pause.
- Theres the respect that makes calamity of so long life.
- Hamlet IIIi

- Beautiful poetry.
