  1. To be, or not to be, that is the Question:<\/li>\n
  2. Whether tis Nobler in the minde to suffer<\/li>\n
  3. The Slings and Arrowes of outragious Fortune,<\/li>\n
  4. Or to take Armes against a Sea of troubles,<\/li>\n
  5. And by Opposing end them: to dye, to sleepe<\/li>\n
  6. No more; and by a sleepe, to say we end<\/li>\n
  7. The Heartake, and the thousand Naturall shockes<\/li>\n
  8. That Flesh is heyre too? \u2018Tis a consummation<\/li>\n
  9. Devoutly to be wish\u2019d. To dye to sleepe,<\/li>\n
  10. To sleepe, perchance to Dreame; I, there\u2019s the rub,<\/li>\n
  11. For in that sleepe of death, what dreames may come,<\/li>\n
  12. When we have shuffel\u2019d off this mortall coile,<\/li>\n
  13. Must give us pawse. There\u2019s the respect<\/li>\n
  14. That makes Calamity of so long life;<\/li>\n
  15. For who would beare the Whips and Scornes of time,<\/li>\n
  16. The Opressors, wrong, the poore mans Contumely<\/li>\n
  17. The pangs of dispriz\u2019d Love, the Lawes delay,<\/li>\n
  18. The insolence of Office, and the Spurnes<\/li>\n
  19. That patient merit of the unworthy takes<\/li>\n
  20. When he himselfe might his Quietus make<\/li>\n
  21. With a bare Bodkin? Who would these Fardles beare<\/li>\n
  22. To grunt and sweat under a weary life,<\/li>\n
  23. But that the dread of something after death,<\/li>\n
  24. The undiscovered Countrey, from whose Borne<\/li>\n
  25. No Traveller returns, Puzels the will,<\/li>\n
  26. And makes us rather beare those iles we have,<\/li>\n
  27. Then flye to others that we know not of.<\/li>\n
  28. Thus Conscience does make Cowards of us all,<\/li>\n
  29. And thus the Native hew of Resolution<\/li>\n
  30. Is sicklied o\u2019re, with the pale cast of Thought,<\/li>\n
  31. And enterprizes of great pith and moment<\/li>\n
  32. With this regard their Currants turne away<\/li>\n
  33. And loose the name of Action. Soft you now,<\/li>\n
  34. The faire Ophelia? Nimph, in thy Orizons<\/li>\n
  35. Be all my sinnes remembred.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
