1. To be or not to be—that is the question: 1.__________________________________________
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer ____________________________________________
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, ____________________________________________
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles ____________________________________________
5. And, by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep— 5.___________________________________________
No more—and by a sleep to say we end ____________________________________________
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks ____________________________________________
That flesh is heir to. ’Tis a consummation
