The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark

O treble, woe
Fall ten times treble on that cursed head
Whose wicked deeds thy most ingenious sense
Deprived thee of! Hold off the earth awhile
Till I have caught her once more in mine arms
Now pile your dust upon the quick and dead
Till of this flat a mountain you have made
T’ o’ertop old Pelion or the skyish head
Of blue Olympus.
