Hamlet: Act 1 Scene 5

Where wilt thou lead me? speak; I'll go no further.

Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres,

Ngey menariti, pxel mesanhì, slivu txanatan,

Thy knotted and combined locks to part

Ngey 'awsìtengyusema ayswin nìyayayr

And each particular hair to stand on end,

Like quills upon the fretful porpentine:

But this eternal blazon must not be

To ears of flesh and blood. List, list, O, list!

HAMLET

Murder!

Ghost

Murder most foul, as in the best it is;

Tìtspang lu kawng frato, ke tsranten fnel;

But this most foul, strange and unnatural.

slä fìpum kawng frato, luke tìme'em sì hiyìk.

HAMLET

Haste me to know't, that I, with wings as swift

As meditation or the thoughts of love,

May sweep to my revenge.

Ghost

I find thee apt;

And duller shouldst thou be than the fat weed

That roots itself in ease on Lethe wharf,

Wouldst thou not stir in this. Now, Hamlet, hear:

O my prophetic soul! My uncle!

Ma oeyä lesrese'a vitral! Oey sempulä tsmukan!

With witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts,--

O wicked wit and gifts, that have the power

So to seduce!--won to his shameful lust

The will of my most seeming-virtuous queen:

O Hamlet, what a falling-off was there!

Ma Hämlet, nìtxan zolängup poe!

From me, whose love was of that dignity

That it went hand in hand even with the vow

Upon a wretch whose natural gifts were poor

Though lewdness court it in a shape of heaven,

Will sate itself in a celestial bed,

And prey on garbage.

But, soft! methinks I scent the morning air;

Brief let me be. Sleeping within my orchard,

Upon my secure hour thy uncle stole,

With juice of cursed hebenon in a vial,

The leperous distilment; whose effect

Most lazar-like, with vile and loathsome crust,

All my smooth body.

Thus was I, sleeping, by a brother's hand

Tsakrr oe, tengkrr herahaw, 'ìlä tsyokx tsmukanä

Of life, of crown, of queen, at once dispatch'd:

tìreyta, sä'eyktanta, muntxateta, nìwin zamolunge:

Cut off even in the blossoms of my sin,

---

Unhousel'd, disappointed, unanel'd,

No reckoning made, but sent to my account

With all my imperfections on my head:

And to those thorns that in her bosom lodge,

To prick and sting her. Fare thee well at once!

The glow-worm shows the matin to be near,

And 'gins to pale his uneffectual fire:

Adieu, adieu! Hamlet, remember me.

Exit

HAMLET

O all you host of heaven! O earth! what else?

Ma fra'u tsengmì Eywaä! ma 'Rrta! Peu alahe?

And shall I couple hell? O, fie! Hold, hold, my heart;

In this distracted globe. Remember thee!

Yea, from the table of my memory

All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past,

Fra'u a nolìn mì ayfuk, fra'u, fra'u ta ftawnemkrr

That youth and observation copied there;

A tì'ewan ulte nari-tìtusìng tsatsemì yolem;

And thy commandment all alone shall live

Ulte ngey tìeyk nì'aw kelku sayi

Within the book and volume of my brain,

Mì fuk sì tseng oeyä eltuä

Unmix'd with baser matter: yes, by heaven!

Luke txele atsleng: sran, pänutuyìng ohe!

O most pernicious woman!

Ma tutE akawng frato!

O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain!

Ma kawngsiyu, kawngsiyu, lrrtok-susia pum, vawne'kia kawngngsiyu!

Ma ronsem, --zivene ziverok tsata

That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain;

At least I'm sure it may be so in Denmark:

So, uncle, there you are. Now to my word;

It is 'Adieu, adieu! remember me.'

MARCELLUS HORATIO

[Within] My lord, my lord,--

Ma oeyä lortì, ma oeyä lortì, --

MARCELLUS

[Within] Lord Hamlet,--

Ma Lortì Hämlet, --

HORATIO

[Within] Heaven secure him!

HAMLET

So be it!

Enter HORATIO and MARCELLUS

MARCELLUS

How is't, my noble lord?

Srake ngaru lu fpom, ma oeyä nawma lortì?

HORATIO

What news, my lord?

Pehem lolen, ma oeyä lortì?

HAMLET

O, wonderful!

HORATIO

Good my lord, tell it.

HAMLET

No; you'll reveal it.

HORATIO

Not I, my lord, by heaven.

Kea oe, ma oeyä lortì, pänutìng.

MARCELLUS

Nor I, my lord.

HAMLET

How say you, then; would heart of man once think it?

Na menga peng, tsakrr; txe'lanìl tutanä zayerok tsat srak?

But you'll be secret?

Menga kawtur ke pasyeng kefyak?

HORATIO MARCELLUS

Ay, by heaven, my lord.

Sran, pänutuyìng eo Eywa, ma oeyä lortì.

HAMLET

There's ne'er a villain dwelling in all Denmark

Frakrr lu kawngsiyu a kelku si Txänmarkmì

But he's an arrant knave.

Ulte po kawnga ---

HORATIO

There needs no ghost, my lord, come from the grave

Lu kea tìkin kea vitraru, ma oeyä lortì, ziva'u ta kllte

To tell us this.

Fte pxoengur tsat pivlltxe.

HAMLET

Why, right; you are i' the right;

Ha, eyawr; ngaru tìyawr nìngay;

And so, without more circumstance at all,

Ulte set, luke lahea txele,

I hold it fit that we shake hands and part:

Lam oer fwa zivene pxoeng hivum ketenga pxefya'one:

You, as your business and desire shall point you;

Menga, na mengeyä ätxäle sì tìnew eyk;

For every man has business and desire,

Taluna frapor ätxäle sì tìnew lu

Such as it is; and for mine own poor part,

Na fì'u lu; ulte oeyä pumìri ---,

Look you, I'll go pray.

Kä oe fte ---.

HORATIO

These are but wild and whirling words, my lord.

Faylì'u nì'aw --- ulte luke ral, ma oeyä lortì.

HAMLET

I'm sorry they offend you, heartily;

Ngaytxoa furia pum ngar zoplo si, nìngay;

Yes, 'faith heartily.

Srane, txoa oer livu nìngay.

HORATIO

There's no offence, my lord.

Lu kea zoplo, ma oeyä lortì.

HAMLET

Yes, by Saint Patrick, but there is, Horatio,

Tse, ---, lu, ma Horatio,

And much offence too. Touching this vision here,

Nìtxan a tsun zoplo sivi. 'erampi fìtìnìnviti fìtseng,

It is an honest ghost, that let me tell you:

Lu muiä tsavitra, tsat tsun oe mengaru piveng:

For your desire to know what is between us,

Tìnewìri mengeyä fte ivomum hemit a lu mikxam moe,

O'ermaster 't as you may. And now, good friends,

Ke pawm, txo tsun. Ulte set, ma oeyä sìltsana meylan,

As you are friends, scholars and soldiers,

Pxel menga lu 'eylan sì karyu sì tsamsiyu,

Give me one poor request.

Tivung oeri 'awa ätxale mengaru.

HORATIO

What is't, my lord? we will.

Peu fì'u, ma oeyä lortì? Tayung moe.

HAMLET

Never make known what you have seen to-night.

Kawkrr ke peng tsawteri a fìtxon tsole'a.

HORATIO MARCELLUS

My lord, we will not.

HAMLET

Nay, but swear't.

HORATIO

In faith,

Eo Eywa,

My lord, not I.

Ma oeyä lortì, oe tsakem ke sasyi.

MARCELLUS

Nor I, my lord, in faith.

ulte oe, ma oeyä lortì, eo Eywa.

HAMLET

Upon my sword.

MARCELLUS

We have sworn, my lord, already.

Moe pänutolìng, ma oeyä lortì, li.

HAMLET

Indeed, upon my sword, indeed.

Nìngay, fa oeyä tukru, nìngay.

Ghost

[Beneath] Swear.

Pänutìng.

HAMLET

Ah, ha, boy! say'st thou so? art thou there, truepenny?

Come on--you hear this fellow in the cellarage--

Consent to swear.

HORATIO

Propose the oath, my lord.

HAMLET

Never to speak of this that you have seen,

Swear by my sword.

Ghost

[Beneath] Swear.

HAMLET

Hic et ubique? then we'll shift our ground.

Come hither, gentlemen,

And lay your hands again upon my sword:

Never to speak of this that you have heard,

Swear by my sword.

Ghost

[Beneath] Swear.

HAMLET

Well said, old mole! canst work i' the earth so fast?

A worthy pioner! Once more remove, good friends.

HORATIO

O day and night, but this is wondrous strange!

HAMLET

And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,

Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. But come;

Here, as before, never, so help you mercy,

How strange or odd soe'er I bear myself,

As I perchance hereafter shall think meet

To put an antic disposition on,

That you, at such times seeing me, never shall,

With arms encumber'd thus, or this headshake,

Or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase,

As 'Well, well, we know,' or 'We could, an if we would,'

Or 'If we list to speak,' or 'There be, an if they might,'

Or such ambiguous giving out, to note

That you know aught of me: this not to do,

So grace and mercy at your most need help you, Swear.

Ghost

[Beneath] Swear.

HAMLET

Rest, rest, perturbed spirit!

They swear

So, gentlemen,

With all my love I do commend me to you:

And what so poor a man as Hamlet is

May do, to 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.
