HAMLET
O, that this too too sullid flesh would melt
Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!
Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd
His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! God!
Hamlet, Act I, Scene 2
Modern texts frequently favor "
solid" or "
sullied" to the (
disputedly) original "sullid." However, a combination of the two seems fitting as an expression of Hamlet's contempt for his flesh both in his refusal to perform his duty (sullied) and the necessity of continued physical existence (solid).
