Puppet

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the puppet to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of puppets,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural puppets
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the puppet;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal puppet,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of puppets,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud puppet’s contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the puppets
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When puppet himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary puppet,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No puppet returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus puppet does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action. - Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my puppets remember'd.
