from going. However. many people
came, and the play was begun, but

his fathers spirit walks. Stand be-
fore him in the terror of the night
when the venerable spirit appears
over him. A horrid shudder passes
over him; he speaks to the mysterious
form; he sees 1t beckon to him; he fol-
lows it and hears. The fearful accu-
sation Of his uncle rings in his ears,
the summons to revenge and the pierre

grows bitter against smiling villains,

cedure. To me it is clear that Shake
