Yes, he picks up the poisoned cup and says, "I am more an antique Roman than a Dane. Here's yet some liquor left." He is referring to the ancient Roman habit of committing suicide if disgraced. The liquor is the poisoned drink that was in the cup.

What was Horatio feeling towards Hamlet?
He loves and trusts him more than anyone else. He appreciates Horatio's learning and his outsider status in Elsinore. With his dying words, he urges him to live on for him. He's willing to treat him as an equal, but Horatio can't get over their class differences.
Why is hamlet so concerned that horatio stay alive to tell his story?
The most important reason that Hamlet wants Horatio to tell everyone his story is that the only people who know that Claudius killed the former king are Hamlet, the Queen, and Horatio. Hamlet wants everyone in Denmark to know that Claudius was a murderer who obtained the crown through illegitimate means. Also, just before dying, Laertes (who had begun to have doubts about going through with the plan about halfway through the duel) begs for Hamlet's forgiveness and says that Claudius got what he deserved. Laertes says that if Hamlet forgives him for killing him, that he will forgive Hamlet for killing Polonius and him. Just after this, Laertes dies, and Hamlet forgives him. He seems to be fairly fond of Laertes and has a good amount of respect for him (for the most part) and wants everyone to know that Laertes was a good man and only Claudius should be held responsible for killing Hamlet and the Queen.
