I’ll not be juggled with.
To hell, allegiance! Vows, to the blackest devil!

Let come what comes, only I’ll be revenged
Most thoroughly for my father.
poetic
Lay her i' th' earth, And from her fair and unpolluted flesh May violets spring! I tell thee, churlish priest, A minist'ring angel shall my sister be When thou liest howling.
Pile your dust upon the quick and dead
Till of this flat a mountain you have made
T’o’ertop old pellion or the skyish head
Of blue Olympus
wants his ddy
Give me my father
Dies because of his own deception
I am justly killed with mine own treachery.
Warning Ophelia
your chaste treasure open
To his unmaster’d importunity.
Manliness
I forbid my tears.
Jumps into the grave
O, treble woe
…
Hold off the earth awhile,
Till I have caught her once more in mine arms.
