BAROQUE
THE MONOLOGUE
BAROQUE
To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep, No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub: For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause—there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life.

"A Table Alphabetically, containing and teaching the true writing, and understanding of hard usual English words borrowed from the Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and French, &c. With the interpretation thereof by plain writing acts and English words, gathered for the benefit and help of ladies, gentlewomen, or any other unskillful persons. Whereby that they may speak more eaſily easily and fluently, have a better understanding many hard English words, which they shall hear or read in Scripture,Sermons or else where, and also be made able to use at the same aptitude themselves."
