:57:28
Sleeping within my orchard
my custom always of the afternoon

:57:35
upon my secure hour thy uncle stole
:57:40
with juice of cursed hebenon in a vial
:57:45
and in the porches of my ears
did pour the leperous distilment,

:57:51
whose effect holds
such an enmity with blood of man

:57:57
that swift as quicksilver
it courses through

:58:00
the natural gates and alleys
of the body

:58:04
and with a sudden vigour
it doth possess and curd,

:58:07
like eager droppings into milk,
the thin and wholesome blood:

:58:14
So did it mine and a most
instant tetter bark'd about

:58:20
most lazar-like,
with vile and loathsome crust.

:58:29
Oh, horrible, most horrible!
:58:33
If thou hast nature in thee,
bear it not.

:58:37
Let not the royal bed of Denmark be
:58:41
a couch for luxury and damned incest.
:58:56
I've forgotten what I am to do.
:58:59
You get up and exit upstage centre.
