Today’s Totally Random Lines

 

Rest, rest, perturbed spirit!—So, gentlemen,

With all my love I do commend me to you:

And what so poor a man that Hamlet is

May do t’express his love and friending to you,

God willing, shall not lack. Let us go in together;

And still your fingers on your lips, I pray.

The time is out of joint:--O cursed spite,

That ever I was born to set it right!—

Nay, come, let’s go together.

[Exeunt]

 

 

Hamlet

Hamlet                             Act I, Scene v, Line 86                                   

Oh boy, that’s a long one, isn’t it. I had to add the last four and a half lines above because it’s the end of the scene. Anyway…

This is the scene where Hamlet meets and talks to the ghost of his father. The ghost says that his brother, Hamlet’s uncle, murdered him, and he tells Hamlet that he must take revenge on his uncle. Then the ghost disappears and Hamlet’s buddies come rushing up to see what happened. They saw the ghost, but they didn’t hear what the ghost told Hamlet. The prince swears them to secrecy and then ends the scene with today’s short speech.

Hopefully, with that short explanation that I gave you, today’s lines should be pretty clear to you.


Clear as mud, Mr. Blagys.
