...Hamlet, it is often said, 'is full of quotations', and some of these are obviously 'poetical' passages But look, the morn in russet mantle clad Walks o'er the dew of yon high eastern hill (1.1.147-8) or There is a willow grows aslant a brook That shows her hoar leaves in the...

...inconsistent scenes which even hasty revision should have noticed. The versification is variahle. Lines like Look, the morn, in russet mantle clad. Walks o'er the dew of yon high eastern hill, are of the Shakespeare of Romeo and Juliet. The lines in Act v. sc. ii., Sir, in my heart...

...rapidly without incongruous effect.

...Hamlet in a wholly metaphorical sense. Breaking up the guards' watch in the opening scene, Horatio says: But look, the morn in russet mantle clad Walks o'er the dew of yon high eastward hill. (1.1.171-72) Interestingly, by personifying the rising sun with a pun on "mourn," the lovely lyrical...

...164 So hallowed and so gracious is that time. HORATIO So have I heard and do in part believe it. 166 But look, the morn in russet mantle clad Walks o'er the dew of yon high eastward hill. Break we our watch up, and by my advice Let us impart what we have seen tonight 170 Unto young Hamlet,...

...III, v, 7; 'yon gray lines That fret the clouds are messengers of day.' — Jul. CaS., II, i, 103; 'look, the morn, in russet mantle clad, Walks o'er the dew of yon high eastward hill.' — Hamlet, I, i, 166; 'Full many a glorious morning have I seen Flatter the mountain tops with sovereign...
