A Trio of Tragedies:<br />

MacBeth, Hamlet &<br />

King Lear<br />

by<br />

William Shakespeare<br />

You know the wager?<br />

HAMLET.<br />

Very well, my lord;<br />

Your grace has laid the odds o’ the weaker side.<br />

KING CLAUDIUS.<br />

I do not fear it; I have seen you both;<br />

But since he’s better’d, we have therefore odds.<br />

LAERTES.<br />

<strong>This</strong> is too heavy, let me see another.<br />

HAMLET.<br />

<strong>This</strong> likes me well. These foils have all a length?<br />

[They prepare to play.]<br />

OSRIC.<br />

Ay, my good lord.<br />

KING CLAUDIUS.<br />

Set me the stoups of wine upon that table,--<br />

If Hamlet give the first or second hit,<br />

Or quit in answer of the third exchange,<br />

Let all the battlements their ordnance fire;<br />

The king shall drink to Hamlet’s better breath;<br />
