Osric   

I commend my duty to your lordship.

Hamlet   

Yours, yours. 
[Exit Osric.] 
He does well to commend it himself; there are no
tongues else for's turn.

Horatio

This lapwing runs away with the shell on his head.    

Hamlet

He did comply with his dug before he sucked it.
Thus has he — and many more of the same bevy that I
know the drossy age dotes on — only got the tune of the time
and outward habit of encounter, a kind of yeasty
collection, which carries them through and through
the most fanned and winnowed opinions.
And do but blow them to their trials, the bubbles are out.

Horatio   

You will lose this wager, my lord. 

Horatio

If your mind dislike anything, obey it. I will forestall 
their repair hither and say you are not fit.

Hamlet

Not a whit, we defy augury. There's special
providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to
come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now,
yet it will come. The readiness is all. Since no man knows
aught of what he leaves, what is't to leave betimes?

Laertes 

                                    I am satisfied in nature, 
Whose motive in this case should stir me most
To my revenge. But in my terms of honor,
I stand aloof and will no reconcilement
Till, by some elder masters of known honor,
I have a voice and precedent of peace
To keep my namenamegored. But all that time
I do receive your offered love like love,
And will not wrong it.

Hamlet

                                       I embrace it freely,
And will this brother's wager frankly play.     

Hamlet

Give us the foils. Come on.

Laertes

                                               Come, one for me.

Hamlet

I'll be your foil, Laertes. In mine ignorance    
Your skill shall, like a star i'th' darkest night,
Stick fiery off indeed.

Laertes

I can no more. The king, the king's to blame.

Hamlet

The point envenomed too? Then, venom, to thy work.
[He stabs Claudius.] 

All   

Treason, treason!

Claudius

Oh, yet defend me friends, I am but hurt.

Hamlet 

Here, thou incestuous, murderous, damned Dane, 
Drink off this potion. Is thy union here?

Laertes 

Nor thine on me!
[Laertes Dies.]

Hamlet

Heaven make thee free of it! I follow thee. 
I am dead, Horatio. Wretched queen, adieu.
You, that look pale and tremble at this chance,
That are but mutes or audience to this act,    
Had I but time — as this fell sergeant, Death,
Is strict in his arrest — oh, I could tell you ... 
But let it be. Horatio, I am dead.
Thou livest; report me and my causes right

Fortinbras   

Where is this sight?

Horatio

                                      What is it you would see? 
If aught of woe or wonder, cease your search.

Fortinbras

This quarry cries on havoc. Oh proud Death,
What feast is toward in thine eternal cell,
That thou so many princes, at a shoot,
So bloodily hast struck?

Ambassador

                                        The sight is dismal.
And our affairs from England come too late 
(The ears are senseless that should give us hearing)
To tell him his commandment is fulfilled,
That Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead.
