To woo, or not to woo—that is the question:

Whether ’tis wiser in a man to suffer

The screws and pinches of a straiten’d fortune,

Or to take arms against some rich widow’s suitors,

And, by opposing, beat them. To woo—to wed:

No more:—and by a wedding to say we silence

The creditor, and thousand barking pests

That snap at poor men,—though the consummation

Were little to be wished. To woo;—to wed:—

To wed—perchance be henpeck’d!—There’s the rub!
