No Fear Shakespeare: Hamlet: Act 1, scene ii

	MARCELLUS
	My lord, upon the platform where we watch.

MARCELLUS

On the platform where we stand guard, sir.

	HAMLET
	Did you not speak to it?

HAMLET

Didn't you talk to it?

	HORATIO
	My lord, I did,
215	But answer made it none. Yet once methought
	It lifted up its head and did address
	Itself to motion, like as it would speak.
	But even then the morning cock crew loud,
	And at the sound it shrunk in haste away
220	And vanished from our sight.

HORATIO

I did, sir, but it didn't answer me. It raised its head once as if it was about to speak, but just then the rooster started crowing, and the ghost vanished from sight.

	HAMLET
	'Tis very strange.

HAMLET

That's very strange.

	HORATIO
	As I do live, my honored lord, 'tis true.
	And we did think it writ down in our duty
	To let you know of it.

HORATIO

I swear to God it's true, sir. We thought you ought to know about it.

	HAMLET
	Indeed, indeed, sirs, but this troubles me.
225	Hold you the watch tonight?

HAMLET

Yes, I should know, but it disturbs me. Are you on duty again tonight?

	MARCELLUS, BARNARDO
	We do, my lord.

MARCELLUS, BARNARDO

Yes, sir.

	HAMLET
	Armed, say you?

HAMLET

It was armed, you say?

	MARCELLUS, BARNARDO
	Armed, my lord.

MARCELLUS, BARNARDO

Armed, sir.

	HAMLET
	From top to toe?

HAMLET

From head to toe?

	MARCELLUS, BARNARDO
	My lord, from head to foot.

MARCELLUS, BARNARDO

Yes, from top to bottom, sir.

	HAMLET
	Then saw you not his face?

HAMLET

So you couldn't see his face, then?

	HORATIO
	Oh yes, my lord. He wore his beaver up.

HORATIO

Oh, yes, we could, sir. He had his helmet visor up.
