As one, in suffering all, that suffers nothing;
A man that fortune's buffets and rewards 75
Hath^{[a 1]} ta'en with equal thanks; and bless'd are those
Whose blood and judgment^{[b 1]} are so well commingled^{[a 2]}
That they are not a pipe for fortune's finger
To sound what stop she please. Give me that man
That is not passion's slave, and I will wear him 80
In my heart's core,^{[b 2]} ay, in my heart of heart,
As I do thee. Something too much of this.
There is a play to-night before the king;
One scene of it comes near the circumstance
Which I have told thee of^{[a 3]} my father's death: 85
I prithee, when thou seest that act afoot,
Even with the very comment of thy^{[a 4]} soul^{[b 3]}
Observe mine^{[a 5]} uncle; if his occulted guilt
Do not itself unkennel, in one speech,^{[b 4]}
It is a damned ghost that we have seen, 90
And my imaginations are as foul
As Vulcan's stithy.^{[b 5]} Give him heedful^{[a 6]} note;
For I mine eyes will rivet to his face,
And after we will both our judgments join
In^{[a 7]} censure^{[b 6]} of his seeming.
