HAMLET

The time is out of joint; O cursed spite,That ever I was born to set it right!

The time is out of joint; O cursed spite,That ever I was born to set it right!

The time is out of joint; O cursed spite,That ever I was born to set it right!

The time is out of joint; O cursed spite,

That ever I was born to set it right!

HAMLET (Second Print)

Polonius.* * *. What do you read, my lord?

Hamlet.Words, words, words!

Polonius.What is the matter, my lord?

Hamlet.Between who?

Polonius.I mean, the matter that you read, my lord.

Hamlet.Slanders sir; for the satirical rogue says here that old men have grey beards; that their faces are wrinkled; their eyes purging thick amber, and plum-tree gum; and that they have a plentiful lack of wit, together with most weak hams: all of which, sir, though I most powerfully and potently believe, yet I hold it not honesty to have it thus set down; for yourself, sir, shall be as old as I am, if, like a crab, you could go backward.

Thepersonification of cunningness, craft and deceit. A brilliant mind and an utterly corrupted spirit. One that enjoys to contemplate and to study mental suffering.

Pale skin, dark brown hair, and a reddish beard.

Observe the building of the nose. Its bridge runs in an uninterrupted line up to the forehead.

Note the deep shadow of the temples and the manner of colouring the cheeks.

The drooping moustache gives the face a singularly sinister expression.

The beard is of crepe hair and is so arranged that it gives the skin a goatlike appearance.

See instruction for the making of beards.
