MR MORRISON et RICHARD VARENGO : To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life…

Original Shakespeare Text

HAMLET: To be, or not to be; that is the question:
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And, by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep—
No more, and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to—‘tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep.
To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there’s the rub,
For in the sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil
Must give us pause. There’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life…

(Hamlet III.1.58-71, The Oxford Shakespeare)

Traduction française du texte shakespearien d'origine

HAMLET : Être, ou ne pas être, telle est la question.
Est-il plus noble pour l’esprit de souffrir
Les coups et les flèches d’une injurieuse fortune,
Ou de prendre les armes contre une mer de tourments,
Et, en les affrontant, y mettre fin ? Mourir, dormir,
Rien de plus, et par un sommeil dire : nous mettons fin
Aux souffrances du cœur et aux milles chocs naturels
Dont hérite la chair ; c’est une dissolution
Ardemment désirable. Mourir, dormir,
Dormir, rêver peut-être, ah ! c’est là l’écueil.
Car dans ce sommeil de la mort les rêves qui peuvent surgir,
Une fois dépouillée cette enveloppe mortelle,
Arrêtent notre élan. C’est là la pensée
Qui donne au malheur une si longue vie.

(Hamlet III.1.58-71, traduction de Jean-Michel Déprats dans l'édition Gallimard Bibliothèque de la Pléaide, 2002)
