Act 1
Scene I
Who’s there? Friends only.
Silent, spectral father-king.
Cock crows; prince awaits.
Scene II
Insincerity.
Seems? Alone in grief sustained.
The king, your father.
Scene III
Sad parting siblings –
obey thy father’s counsel –
ne’er to meet again.
Scene IV
Inebriation
within; without, fate beckons.
Still-silent spirit.
Scene V
Foul murder: avenge!
Swear by my sword! Remember…
So, Uncle: adieu.
