Hamlet: to be or not to be

Terms	Definitions
To be	or not to be -- that is the question:
Whether 'tis	nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings	and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take	arms against a sea of troubles
And, by opposing	end them. To die, to sleep --
No more --	and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache	and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh	is heir to -- 'tis a consummation
Devoutly	to be wished. To die, to sleep --
To sleep,	perchance to dream. Ay, there's the rub,
For in that	sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we	have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give	us pause. There's the respect
That makes	calamity of so long life.
For who would	bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th' oppressor's	wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs	of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence	of office, and the spurns
That patient	merit of th' unworthy takes,
When he himself	might his quietus make
With a bare	bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt	and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread	of something after death,
The undiscovered	country from whose bourn
No traveler	returns, puzzles the will
And makes us	rather bear those ills we have
Than fly	to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience	does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native	hue of resolution
Is sicklied	o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises	of great pitch and moment
With this regard	their currents turn awry
And lose	the name of action. -- Soft you now,
The fair	Ophelia. Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my	sins remembered.
