18491206Ham. Pronounce me this speech trippingly a the tongue

1207as I taught thee,

18501208Mary and you mouth it, as a many of your players do

18511209I'de rather heare a towne bull bellow,

1210Then such a fellow speake my lines.

18521211Nor do not saw the aire thus with your hands,

18531212But giue euery thing his action with temperance.

18561213O it offends mee to the soule, to heare a rebustious periwig (fellow,

18571214To teare a passion in totters, into very ragges,

18581215To split the eares of the ignoraut, who for the

18591216Most parte are capable of nothing but dumbe shewes and (noises,

18601217I would haue such a fellow whipt, for o're doing, tarmagant

18611218It out, Herodes Herod.

18841219players My Lorde, wee haue indifferently reformed that

18851220among vs.

18861221Ham. The better, the better, mend it all together:

18761222There be fellowes that I haue seene play,

18771223And heard others commend them, and that highly too,

18781224That hauing neither the gate of Christian, Pagan,

18801225Nor Turke, haue so strutted and bellowed,

1226That you would a thought, some of Natures journeymen

18811227Had made men, and not made them well,

18821228They imitated humanitie, so abhominable:

18621229Take heede, auoyde it.

18631230players I warrant you my Lord.

1231Ham. And doe you heare? let not your Clowne speake

18871232More then is set downe, there be of them I can tell you

18881233That will laugh themselues, to set on some

18891234Quantitie of barren spectators to laugh with them,

18901235Albeit there is some necessary point in the Play

18911236Then to be obserued: O t'is vile, and shewes

18921237A pittifull ambition in the foole the vseth it.

1892.11238And then you haue some agen, that keepes one sute
