I should do it now. And now I will. (Draws sword.) But
wait--and so he goes to heaven? So much for revenge. The
villain kills my father, and I his son, send him to heaven?
That's not revenge, not if I kill him while he repents. No.
I'll wait for a more fitting occasion. When he is drunk and
arrogant--in a rage--or engaged in some other act which has
no trace of salvation in it. Then I'll trip him up, and his
heels will kick at heaven, and head first his soul will
plummet into the black damnation of hell.
(Hamlet exits.)
CLAUDIUS
My words fly up, my thoughts remain below. Words without
thoughts never to heaven go.
