23211457King O that this wet that falles vpon my face

23221458Would wash the crime cleere from my conscience!

23261459When I looke vp to heauen, I see my trespasse,

2326.11460The earth doth still crie out vpon my fact,

23141461Pay me the murder of a brother and a king,

2314.11462And the adulterous fault I haue committed:

23291463O these are sinnes that are vnpardonable:

2329.11464Why say thy sinnes were blacker then is ieat,

1465Yet may contrition make them as white as snowe:

1466I but still to perseuer in a sinne,

1467It is an act gainst the vniuersall power,

23461468Most wretched man, stoope, bend thee to thy prayer,

23451469Aske grace of heauen to keepe thee from despaire.

23501471Ham. I so, come forth and worke thy last,

23521472And thus hee dies: and so am I reuenged:

23561473No, not so: he tooke my father sleeping, his sins brim full,

23581474And how his soule stoode to the state of heauen

1475Who knowes, saue the immortall powres,

23601476And shall I kill him now,

23611477When he is purging of his soule?

23551478Making his way for heauen, this is a benefit,

1479And not reuenge: no, get thee vp agen,

23641480When hee's at game swaring, taking his carowse, drinking (drunke,

23651481Or in the incestuous pleasure of his bed,

23661482Or at some act that hath no relish

23671483Of saluation in't, then trip him

23681484That his heeles may kicke at heauen,

23691485And fall as lowe as hel: my mother stayes,

23711486This phisicke but prolongs thy weary dayes. exit Ham.

23721487King My wordes fly vp, my sinnes remaine below.

2372.11488No King on earth is safe, if Gods his foe. exit King.
