Ib. Hamlet's soliloquy:—
“O, what a rogue and peasant slave am I!” &c.
This is Shakespeare's own attestation to the truth of the idea of Hamlet which I have before put forth.
Ib.—
“The spirit that I have seen,
May be a devil: and the devil hath power
To assume a pleasing shape; yea, and, perhaps
Out of my weakness, and my melancholy
(As he is very potent with such spirits),
Abuses me to damn me.”
