"The fpeech of Cato is that of a fcholar, a philofopher, and a nian of virtue: all the fentiments of fuch a speech are to be acquired by instruction, by reading, by converfation; Cato talks the language of the porch and academy. Hamlet, on the other hand, fpeaks that of the human heart, ready to enter upon a deep, a dreadful, a decitive act. His is the real language of mankind, of its higheft to its lowest order; from the king to the cottager, from the philofopher to the peafant. It is a language which a man may fpeak without learning; yet no learning can improve, nor philofophy mend it. This cannot be faid of Cato's fpeech. It is dictated from the head rather than the heart; by courage rather than nature. It is the fpecch of predetermined refolution, and not of human infirmity: it is the language of uncertainty, not of perturbation; it is the language of doubting; but of fuch doubts as the speaker is prepared to cut afunder, if he cannot refolve them. The words of Cato are not like those of Hamlet, the emana tions of the foul: they are therefore improper for a foliloquy, where the difcourfe is fuppofed to be held with the heart, that fountain of truth. Cato feemis inftructed as to all he doubts: while irrefolute, he appears determined; and bespeaks his quarters, while he questions whether there is lodging.
