Death and Mortality Quotes in Hamlet

Let four captains / Bear Hamlet like a soldier to the stage, / For he was likely, had he been put on, / To have prov’d most royally; and for his passage, / The soldiers’ music and the rites of war / Speak loudly for him.

[_Aside._] It is the poison'd cup; it is too late.

In the same figure, like the King that's dead.

Has this fellow no feeling of his business, that he sings at grave-making?

Custom hath made it in him a property of easiness.
