good morrow to you, sir, I am hither to talk of the tale of Yorick
in his life, he was belov'd by all, yet by some not so much
b'rn in england, he was rais'd to be a prim and meet l'rd
But that gent didst not enjoy living the sophisticated life
For Yorick only wanted to maketh people joyous
So, against his family's wishes, Yorick wenteth on to liveth a fool's life
In an attempt to maketh more people joyous, that gent hath decided to wend to the only lodging whither "his kind" wast accepted
And so, Yorick traveled to the glorious state of Denmark. whither that gent beganeth to perform for the king
But Yorick's worketh wast nev'r done, for everyday that gent hath shown love to all around
One such person, wast the young Hamlet
Yorick saw in that gent, the flame that once burned bright inside himself
So the fool, hath tried to showeth the young Hamlet how to beest as joyous and free as that gent
But, the king hadst seen this, and didst not wanteth his son to beest a fool
So the king, toldeth this to poor Yorick, and hath said that his son wast meanteth to beest the Danish king
To remedy the situation, Yorick wast forced to leaveth Denmark, and returneth to his native England
In an attempt to not harm the young prince, the king toldeth that gent that Yorick hadst hath kicked the bucket.
This wast done, so that Yorick would not influence Hamlet in any way
For how can one beest a fool, if 't be true thither is no one to learneth from?
So the theory hath been proposed, the skull wast not Yorick's
But twas a forgery, so that Hamlet could beest King of Denmark one day
And behold now, how hath that dream turned out?
I had to do a project for my Shakespeare class for the play Hamlet
So I decided to retell the life of Yorick, the skull which Hamlet talks to in Act 5
And this is what I came up with.
And this has been translated into Shakespearean English to make it sound fancy when I presented it to my class.
