Original text and translations

English text

For bonnie sweet Robin is all my joy.
And will a’ not come again?
No, no, he is dead,
Go, go to thy death-bed,
He never will come again.
His beard was as white as snow,
All flaxen was his poll:
He is gone, he is gone,
And we cast away moan:
God ha’ mercy on his soul!

Hamlet
Act 4, Scene 5
