I have seen a swan
With bootless labour swim against the tide
And spend her strength with overmatching waves.

From fairest creatures we desire increase
That thereby #Denmark's rose might never die.

We are no tyrant but a Christian king;
Unto whose grace our passion is as subject
As are our wretches fettered in our prisons.

QUEEN: By heaven,you do me wrong.
#HAMLET: I cry you mercy, then: I took you for that cunning whore of Denmark that married with mine uncle.

#HORATIO (v.o.)

Wine, Wine! What service is here!
I think our servicemen are asleep!

Following the mirror of all Christian kings,
There being no bar,
I with right & conscience make my claim.

Grieve no more, #Hamlet, lest you give cause
To be suspected of more tenderness than doth become a man.
