HAMLET

　　Thrift, thrift, Horatio! the funeral baked meats

　　Would I had met my dearest foe in heaven

　　Or ever I had seen that day, Horatio!

　　HORATIO

　　My lord, the king your father.

　　HAMLET

　　With an attent ear, till I may deliver,

　　Upon the witness of these gentlemen,

　　Marcellus and Bernardo, on their watch,

　　In the dead vast and middle of the night,

　　Armed at point exactly, cap-a-pe,

　　Appears before them, and with solemn march
