A mote it is, to trouble the mind's eye. In the most high and palmy state of Rome, A little ere the mightiest Julius fell, The graves stood tenantless, and the sheeted dead Did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets.

Corne, as it was gathered in the harvest time appeered bloudie. In the furthermost parts of Scotland, it rained bloud. These sights being seene of some, and declared to other, caused a woonderfull feare in the peoples harts, imagining some great alteration to ensue." The Historie of Scotland. Holinshed. Hamlet. Sure, he, that made us with such large discourse, To fust in us unused. Act 4 Scene 4. Gewiss, der uns mit solcher Denkkraft schuf Schlegel.
