To go or not to go, - that is the question;
* What is nobler in spirit - to submit
* To the splinters and scolding of a furious wife,
* Or, taking up arms against a sea of squabbles, to defeat them
* With confrontation? To ask for a divorce -
* And nothing more; and to say, with that you end
* Longing and a thousand unnecessary torments,
* The desires of the flesh - how such a denouement
* Not to thirst? To file for divorce . - To sleep!
* Can I marry again? That is the difficulty;
* Can I marry again? That's the difficulty;
* What kind of wife will I have now
* When will I put on the wedding ring
* That's what confuses us; that's the reason
* That marriages sometimes last so long;
* Who would bear the reproaches and mockery in vain
* The strongest oppression of pride's mockery
* The pain of despised love, the false judgment,
* The arrogance of the spouse, the insults,
* Inflicted on the meek husband
* When he himself could resolve a gig
* With a simple piece of paper ? Who would drag himself with a burden,
* To groan and sweat under the tedious life,
* When the fear of something worse:
* An unknown land, from which there is no return
* Earthly wanderers, - did not disturb the will,
* Inspiring us to endure our adversities
* And not to rush to others, hidden from us?
* So does reflection make us cowards,
* And so the natural color of determination
* Withers under the pale touch of thought,
* And undertakings, rising powerfully,
* Turning aside their course,
* Lose the name of action. But quieter!
* Ophelia? - An old woman
* Bring me slippers, nymph!
*
