Who's there?!

Nay, answer me stand and unfold yourself.

Long live the King!

Barnardo?

He. Get thee to bed Francisco.

Welcome, Horatio – Welcome, good Marcellus

What, has this thing appeared again tonight?

I have seen nothing.

Watchman Marcellus and Barnardo are determined to show friend of Prince Hamlet, Horatio, the ghost seen walking around in the dead of night, closely resembling the dead King Hamlet. Horatio does not believe what they claim. to have seen.

Horatio says ’tis but our fantasy... Therefore I have entreated him along with us... That, if again this apparition come,he may approve our eyes and speak to it.

Looks he not like the King? Mark it, Horatio

Most like it. It harrows me with fear and wonder.

If thou hast any sound or use of voice, speak to me. If there be any good thing to be done that may to thee do ease and grace to me, speak to me... O, speak!
