Chapter 5

_Enter Voltemar and the Ambassadors from England. [I4] enter Fortenbrasse with his traine._ _Fort._ Where is this bloudy fight? _Hor._ If aught of woe or wonder you'ld behold, Then looke vpon this tragicke spectacle. _Fort._ O imperious death! how many Princes Hast thou at one draft bloudily shot to death? (_land_, _Ambass._ Our ambassie that we haue brought from _Eng-_ Where be these Princes that should heare vs speake? O most most vnlooked for time! vnhappy country. _Hor._ Content your selues, Ile shew to all, the ground, The first beginning of this Tragedy: Let there a scaffold be rearde vp in the market place, And let the State of the world be there: Where you shall heare such a sad story tolde, That neuer mortall man could more vnfolde. _Fort._ I haue some rights of memory to this kingdome, Which now to claime my leisure doth inuite mee: Let foure of our chiefest Captaines Beare _Hamlet_ like a souldier to his graue: For he was likely, had he liued, To a prou'd most royall. Take vp the bodie, such a fight as this Becomes the fieldes, but here doth much amisse.
