The speech you are talking about starts "How all occasions do inform against me and spur my dull revenge!" The speech appears only in the second Quarto version of the play, not in the Folio or first Quarto. The speech is one of Hamlet's least emotional, excelled in emotionlessness only by "To be or not to be". The essence of the speech is summed up in the line "I do not know why yet I live to say 'this thing's to do' sith I have cause and will and strength and means to do't." He reflects on Fortinbras's soldiers, who don't sit around thinking about whether what they do makes sense; they just do it. Hamlet, who at this point is being somewhat self-deprecating and puzzled by his own behaviour, thinks about his own motivations to act, and how they ought to have a greater effect than the pointless motivations of the soldiers.
