If you know something about a fate the country can avoid-
speak!
(A C*CK CROWS. The Ghost turns to
leave.)
HORATIO (CONT'D)
Stay and speak! Marcellus, try and stop it!
MARCELLUS
What?! With my spear?!
If it won't stop--yes!
BARNARDO
Wait! Now it's over here!
MARCELLUS
No--there!
HORATIO
There!
(Exit Ghost.)
MARCELLUS
It's gone! We shouldn't have threatened it!
BARNARDO
I think it was going to speak, before the c*ck crowed.
HORATIO
I've heard that the crow of the c*ck hastens wandering
spirits to their base. But this, tonight, proves the truth
of our situation. (He points) Look, the dawn. We must tell
Prince Hamlet.
MARCELLUS
Yes, right away. Perhaps it's he the Ghost wishes to
address. I know where we'll find him this morning, let's go.
(They exit. End scene.)
