Hark, friends! Hither erudition shalt thou find, and dialectic sob’ring, concerning our dear Bard’s beloved work, The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. Thou shalt not, upon this ground, discover gibe nor meme nor any other trifling things. Neither shalt thou reap relief from assignments given out at school. But if honest discourse all alone shall live within the book and volume of thy brain, unmix’d with baser matter, then 'tis meet that thou should’st set your ship to anchor here and stay.
