MR. BARRY SULIVAN AS HAMLET./ HAMLET: "Slanders, sir: for the satirical rogue says here, that old/ men have grey beards; that their faces are wrinkled; their/ eyes purging thick amber and plum tree gum; and that they/ have a painful lack of wit, together with most weak hams./ All of which, sir, though I most powerfully and potent-/ly believe, yet I hold it not honesty to have it thus/ set down; for you yourself, sir, should be as/ old as I am, if, like a crab you could go/ backward."/ HAMLET/ Act2, Sc.2./ Engraved by J. Moore from a Daguerreotype by Mayall./ THE LONDON PRINTING AND PUBLISHING COMPANY
