What?
GHOST

oo
I | am thy | father's | spirit,|

Doomed for | a cert|ain term | to walk | the
night;

And for | the day | confined | to fast | in
fires,
2 ,

Till the foul | crimes done / in my | days of |
nature

Are burnt | and purged | away?| But that I | am

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

And each | partic|ular hair | to stand | on end,

Like^quills | upon | the fret|ful por|pentine:

Haste, haste / me to | know it,

That with wings | as swift

As med|ita|tion, or | the thoughts | of love,

May sweep | to my | revenge.
GHOST

I find | thee apt,

And dul|ler shouldst | thou be | than the / fat
weed

That rots | itself | in ease,| on Leth|e wharf,

Wouldst thou | not stir | in this.| Now Ham|let hear:

gifts.

Oh wick|ed wit,| and gifts,| that have | the power

So to | seduce?| Won to | this shame|ful lust

The will | of my / most seem|ing vir|tuous queen;

Oh Ham/let, what | a fal|ling-off | was there,

From me,| whose love | was of | that dig|nity,

That it | went hand | in hand,| even with | the vow

I made | to her | in mar|riage;| and to | decline

Upon | a wretch,| whose na|tural gifts | were
poor

To those of mine. But virtue, as it never will be
moved, ????

Will sate itself in a celestial bed, and prey on
garbage. ????

My cust|om al|ways in | the aft|ernoon;

Upon | my se/cure hour | thy unc|le stole

With juice | of curs|ed heb|enon | in a vial,

And in | the porch|es of | mine^ears | did pour

The lep|erous | distil|ment; whose | effect

That swift | as quick|silver,| it cours|es through

Cut^off | even in | the blos|soms of | my sin,

No reck|oning made,| but sent | to my | account

With all | my im|perfec|tions on | my head;

Oh hor/rible, oh*| horrible,| most hor/rible:

If thou | hast na|ture in | thee bear | it not;
