"Thou art so fat-witted, with drinking of old sack
and unbuttoning thee after supper and sleeping upon
benches after noon, that thou hast forgotten to

(7,809 posts)PINO's but a walking shadow, a poor player

And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
The sooner his hour is up, the better.
