STAGE INSTRUCTIONS:

Ghost beckons Hamlet

HORATIO:

It beckons you to go away with it, as if it some impartment did desire to you alone.

MARCELLUS:

Look, with what courteous action it waves you to a more removed ground: But do not go with it.

HORATIO:

No, by no means.

HAMLET:

It will not speak; then I will follow it.

HORATIO:

Do not, my lord.

HAMLET:

Why, what should be the fear? I do not set my life in a pin's fee; and for my soul, what can it do to that, being a thing immortal as itself? It waves me forth again: I'll follow it.
