Exaple of a bad Quatro

Important Information:

Hamlet's famous soliloquy:

"To be, or not to be: that is the question" (3.1.56-65).

In the quarto version of 1603 we have,

"To be or not to be. Aye, there's the point/To die to sleep, is that all? Aye all."

During this time playwrights cared little about getting their plays printed.
