The first beginning of this Tragedy:

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.

Which now to claime my leisure doth inuite mee:

Let foure of our chiefeft Captaines

Beare Hamlet like a fouldier to his graue:

For he was likely, had he liued,

To a prou'd most royall.
