| The GHOST and HAMLET
enter. |
|
| | HAMLET |
| |
Where wilt thou lead me? Speak, I'll go no
further. |
|
| HAMLET |
|
Where are you taking me? Speak. I'm not going any
farther. |

|
|
| | GHOST |
| |
My hour is almost come |
| |
When I to sulfurous and tormenting flames |
| |
Must render up myself. |
|
| GHOST |
|
The hour has almost come when I have to return to the horrible
flames of purgatory. |
|
|
|
| | GHOST |
| 5 |
Pity me not, but lend thy serious hearing |
| |
To what I shall unfold. |
|
| GHOST |
|
Don't pity me. Just listen carefully to what I have to
tell you. |
|
| | HAMLET |
| |
Speak. I am bound to
hear. |
|
| HAMLET |
|
Speak. I'm ready to hear you. |
|
| | GHOST |
| |
So art thou to revenge when thou shalt hear. |
|
| GHOST |

| | GHOST |
| |

| 10 |
Doomed for a certain term to walk the night |

And for the day confined to fast in fires, |
| |
Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature |
| |
Are burnt and purged away. But that I am forbid |
| |
To tell the secrets of my prison house, |
| 15 |
I could a tale unfold whose lightest word |
| |
Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood, |
|
| GHOST |
|
I'm the ghost of your father, doomed for a certain
period of time to walk the earth at night, while during the day
I'm trapped in the fires of purgatory until
I've done penance for my past sins. If I
weren't forbidden to tell you the secrets of purgatory
, I could tell you stories that would slice through your
soul, freeze your blood, |
