MARCELLUS Good now, sit down, and tell me, he that knows, Why this same strict and most observant watch So nightly toils the subject of the land, And why such daily cast of brazen cannon, And foreign mart for implements of war Why such impress of shipwrights, whose sore task Does not divide the Sunday from the week What might be toward, that this sweaty haste Doth make the night joint-labourer with the day: Who is't that can inform me? HORATIO That can I At least, the whisper goes so. HORATIO In what particular thought to work I know not But in the gross and scope of my opinion, This bodes some strange eruption to our state. MARCELLUS Thus twice before, and jump at this dead hour, With martial stalk hath he gone by our watch. MARCELLUS Is it not like the king? HORATIO As thou art to thyself: Such was the very armour he had on When he the ambitious Norway combated So frown'd he once, when, in an angry parle, He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice. BERNARDO How now, Horatio! you tremble and look pale: Is not this something more than fantasy? What think you on't? HORATIO Before my God, I might not this believe Without the sensible and true avouch Of mine own eyes. BERNARDO See, it stalks away! HORATIO Stay! speak, speak! I charge thee, speak! Exit Ghost MARCELLUS 'Tis gone, and will not answer.

HORATIO What art thou that usurp'st this time of night, Together with that fair and warlike form In which the majesty of buried Denmark Did sometimes march? by heaven I charge thee, speak! MARCELLUS It is offended. HORATIO Most like: it harrows me with fear and wonder. BERNARDO Looks it not like the king? mark it, Horatio. MARCELLUS Thou art a scholar speak to it, Horatio.

BERNARDO Last night of all, When yond same star that's westward from the pole Had made his course to illume that part of heaven Where now it burns, Marcellus and myself, The bell then beating one,- Enter Ghost MARCELLUS Peace, break thee off look, where it comes again! BERNARDO In the same figure, like the king that's dead. HORATIO Well, sit we down, And let us hear Bernardo speak of this. BERNARDO Sit down awhile And let us once again assail your ears, That are so fortified against our story What we have two nights seen.
