'HAMLET Denmarks a prison. ROSENCRANTZ Then is the world one. HAMLET A goodly one; in which there are many confines wards and dungeons Denmark being one o the worst. ROSENCRANTZ We think not so my lord. HAMLET Why then tis none to you; for there is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so: to me it is a prison. ROSENCRANTZ Why then your ambition makes it one; tis too narrow for your mind. HAMLET O God I could be bounded in a nut shell and count myself a king of infinite space were it not that I have bad dreams. GUILDENSTERN Which dreams indeed are ambition for the very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.'
