O, that this too too solid flesh would meltThaw and resolve itself into a dew!Or that the Everlasting had not fix'dHis canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! God!

I wish I could disappear – dieBut god has made it a sin to commit suicide

How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable, (135)Seem to me all the uses of this world!Fie on't! ah fie! 'tis an unweeded garden That grows to seed; things rank and gross in naturePossess it merely. That it should come to this!

How pointless life seems to me.It is filled with weeds. I can’t believe it has come to this

But two months dead: nay, not so much, not two: (140)So excellent a king; that was, to this,Hyperion to a satyr; so loving to my motherThat he might not beteem the winds of heavenVisit her face too roughly. Heaven and earth!

My father is only two months dead, not even.He was an excellent King. He was like the sun god and Claudius is like a satyr. My father would not allow the wind to blow too hard on her face.

Must I remember? why, she would hang on him, (145)As if increase of appetite had grownBy what it fed on: and yet, within a month --Let me not think on't -- Frailty, thy name is woman! –

Why do I have to remember? She hanged on him. And the more she was with him the more she loved him.And yet…within a month. Oh I can think of it. You are weak, woman

A little month, or ere those shoes were oldWith which she follow'd my poor father's body, (150)Like Niobe, all tears: -- why she, even she --O, God! a beast, that wants discourse of reason,Would have mourn'd longer--married with my uncle,

Just a little after a month, before she had even broken in the shoes she wore to his funeral, crying, ….Even a beast would have mourned long.. And now she has married my uncle.

My father's brother, but no more like my fatherThan I to Hercules: within a month: (155)Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tearsHad left the flushing in her galled eyes,

(before the tears have dried)She married. O, most wicked speed, to postWith such dexterity to incestuous sheets!It is not nor it cannot come to good: (160)But break, my heart; for I must hold my tongue.
