  Where thicker than itself with brother's blood,

      To wash it white as snow?

         (King at III, iii) [Forgiveness]

What then? What rests?
  Try what repentance can. What can it not?
    Yet what can it when one cannot repent?

          Art more engaged!
      - Hamlet Prince of Denmark
         (Claudius, King of Denmark at III, iii)

A murderer and a villain,
  A slave that is not twentieth part the tithe

          And put it in his pocket--

            Where every god did seem to set his seal
              To give the world assurance of a man.
      - Hamlet Prince of Denmark
         (Hamlet at III, iv) [Eyes]
