经典话剧剧本《Hamlet哈姆雷特ACT5》英文完整版(3)

　　doomsday. Go, get thee to Yaughan: fetch me a

　　stoup of liquor.

　　Exit Second Clown

　　He digs and sings

　　In youth, when I did love, did love,

　　Methought it was very sweet,

　　To contract, O, the time, for, ah, my behove,

　　O, methought, there was nothing meet.

　　HAMLET

　　Has this fellow no feeling of his business, that he

　　sings at grave-making?

　　HORATIO

　　Custom hath made it in him a property of easiness.

　　HAMLET

　　'Tis e'en so: the hand of little employment hath

　　the daintier sense.

　　First Clown

　　[Sings]

　　But age, with his stealing steps,

　　Hath claw'd me in his clutch,

　　And hath shipped me intil the land,

　　As if I had never been such.

　　Throws up a skull

　　HAMLET

　　That skull had a tongue in it, and could sing once:

　　how the knave jowls it to the ground, as if it were

　　Cain's jaw-bone, that did the first murder! It

　　might be the pate of a politician, which this ass

　　now o'er-reaches; one that would circumvent God,

　　might it not?

　　HORATIO

　　It might, my lord.

　　HAMLET

　　Or of a courtier; which could say 'Good morrow,

　　sweet lord! How dost thou, good lord?' This might

　　be my lord such-a-one, that praised my lord

　　such-a-one's horse, when he meant to beg it; might it not?

　　HORATIO

　　Ay, my lord.

　　HAMLET

　　Why, e'en so: and now my Lady Worm's; chapless, and

　　knocked about the mazzard with a sexton's spade:

　　here's fine revolution, an we had the trick to

　　see't. Did these bones cost no more the breeding,

　　but to play at loggats with 'em? mine ache to think on't.
