HORATIO
Do not believe it, I'm more Roman than Dane. Let me see that
liquor.
(Horatio attempts to drink poison,
Hamlet struggles with him.)
HAMLET
Let go! What a wounded name would be left behind if you are
not there to let the truth be known. If you ever held me in
your heart, do not follow me, suffer the world to tell my
story.
(A SHOT from a cannon.)
HAMLET (CONT'D)
What is this?
(Enter Osric.)
OSRIC
Young Fortinbras returns from Poland. He fires a volley in
honor of the ambassadors from England.
HAMLET
Ah Horatio, the poison triumphs. I will not hear the news
from England, but I do prophesy Fortinbras shall be elected
King. He has my dying voice. So tell him.... The rest is
silence.
(Hamlet dies.)
HORATIO
Now ends a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince, and
flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!
(MARCHING is heard. Fortinbras
enters.)
FORTINBRAS
What is this?
HORATIO
What do you wish to see? If it's sorrow and wonder, cease
your search.
FORTINBRAS
This scene cries on havoc. Oh proud death, what feast do you
prepare that you have claimed so many nobles at once?
1ST AMBASSADOR
This sight bewilders.
HORATIO
Allow me to speak to a world unaware how these things came
about, and so shall you hear of carnal, bloody, and unnatural
acts; of accidental judgements, casual slaughters; of deaths
brought by cunning and contrivance, and plans dismantled with
chance. All this I can truly deliver.
