Player King: ’Tis deeply sworn. Sweet, leave me here awhile.
My spirits grow dull, and fain I would beguile
The tedious day with sleep.
Player Queen: Sleep rock thy brain,
And never come mischance between us twain!
Hamlet:[To Gertrude] Madam, how like you this play?
Gertrude: The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
Hamlet: Oh, but she’ll keep her word.
Claudius: Have you heard the argument? Is there no offense in ’t?
Hamlet: No, no, they do but jest, poison in jest, no offense i’ th’ world.
Claudius: What do you call the play?
Hamlet: “The Mousetrap.”
- — Hamlet, III, ii
