Act 1 scene v (91-112)

Hamlet:
O all you host of heaven! O earth! what else? / And shall I couple hell? O, fie! Hold, hold, my heart; / And you, my sinews, grow not instant old, / But bear me stiffly up. Remember thee! / Ay, thou poor ghost, while memory holds a seat / In this distracted globe. Remember thee! / Yea, from the table of my memory / I'll wipe away all trivial fond records, / All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past, / That youth and observation copied there; / And thy commandment all alone shall live / Within the book and volume of my brain, / Unmix'd with baser matter: yes, by heaven! / O most pernicious woman! / O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain! / My tables,--meet it is I set it down, / That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain; / At least I'm sure it may be so in Denmark: / So, uncle, there you are. Now to my word; / It is 'Adieu, adieu! remember me.' / I have sworn 't.
