Answer 2

Hamlet Act III Scene i

"To be, or not to be. That is the question.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,

And by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep.

No more; and by a sleep to say we end

The heartaches and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep.

To sleep, perchance to dream--ay, there's the rub

For in the sleep of death what dreams may come,

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,

Must give us pause. There's the respect

That makes calamity of so long life.

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time

THe oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,

The pangs of disprised love, the law's delay,

THe insolence of office, and the spurns

That patient merit of the unworthy takes

When he himself might his quietus make

With a bare bodkin. Who would fardels bear,

To grunt and sweat under a weary life

But that the dread of something after death,

The undiscovered country from whose bourne

No traveller returns, puzzles the will

And makes us rather bear those ills we have

Than fly to others that we know not of.

Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,

And thus the patient hue of resolution

I sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,

And enterprises of great pitch and moment,

With this regard their currents turn awry,

And lose the name of action."
