Hamlet
Storyboard Text
- Jeffrey ChapmanL. Guerrero1st PeriodAct 1, Scene 1
- Sit down awhile;and let us once again assail your earsThat are so fortified against our storyWhat we have two nights seen
- Well, sit we down,and let us hear Bernardo speak of this
- Peace, break thee off;look, where it comes again!
- What art thou that usurp'st this time of night,Together with that fair and warlike formIn which the majesty of buried DenmarkDid sometimes march? by heaven I charge thee, speak!
- Title Card
- How now, Horatio! you tremble and look pale:Is not this something more than fantasy?What think you on't?
- 'Tis gone, and will not answer
- Before my God, I might not this believeWithout the sensible and true avouchOf mine own eyes.
- Bernardo and Marcellus arrive at their watchpost, meeting up with Horatio. Bernardo wishes to enlighten Horatio of their story about King Hamlet's ghost. Marcellus cuts them off, citing the ghost reappearing offscreen.
- Is it not like the king?
- As thou art to thyself:Such was the very armour he had onWhen he the ambitious Norway combated;So frown'd he once, when, in an angry parle,He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice.'Tis strange.
- So have I heard and do in part believe it.But, look, the morn, in russet mantle cladWalks o'er the dew of yon high eastward hill:Break we our watch up; and by my advice,Let us impart what we have seen to-nightUnto young Hamlet; for, upon my life,This spirit, dumb to us, will speak to him.Do you consent we shall acquaint him with it,As needful in our loves, fitting our duty?
- Let's do't, I pray; and I this morning knowWhere we shall find him most conveniently.
