this fellow. − [115] Whose grave’s this, sirrah?

GRAVE.
Mine, sir.
[Sings] O a pit of clay for to be made −

HAMLET
I think it be thine indeed, for thou liest in’t.

GRAVE.
You lie out on’t, sir, and therefore ’tis not [120] yours. For my part, I do not
lie in’t, yet it is mine.

HAMLET
Thou dost lie in’t, to be in’t and say ’tis thine. ’Tis for the dead, not for the
quick: therefore thou liest.

GRAVE.
’Tis a quick lie, sir, ’twill away again from me to you. [125]

HAMLET
What man dost thou dig it for?

GRAVE.
For no man, sir.

HAMLET
What woman then?

GRAVE.

For none neither.

HAMLET

Who is to be buried in’t? [130]

GRAVE.
