Here hung those lips that I have kissed I knownot how oft. Where be your gibes now? yourgambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment,that were wont to set the table on a roar?

2nd Sentence- Alas, poor Yorick! Hamlet- "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy; he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it.

Not usually; such an action is not required of him, although a director might well have him examining a skull if he wanted to. This situation is quite different from Hamlet, who is often portrayed as holding a skull because he is required by the script to hold and examine the skull of the jester Yorick while delivering the famous lines "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio." Vindice in Thomas Middleton's play The Revenger's Tragedy is also required by the script to hold the skull of his murdered girlfriend.

What we see of Yorick in the play is his skull, wearing no hat at all. Yorick died long before the events in the play Hamlet. But when he was alive he was "the king's jester" and so might have worn a jester's hat back then.
