ACT V
Scene I
Elsinore. A churchyard.
Enter two CLOWNS, [with SPADES and PICKAXES].
CLOWN
Is she to be buried in Christian burial when she
willfully seeks her own salvation?
OTHER
I tell thee she is; therefore make her grave straight.
The crowner hath sate on her, and finds it Christian burial.
CLOWN
How can that be, unless she drown'd herself in her own
defence?
OTHER
Why, 'tis found so.
CLOWN
It must be se offendendo; it cannot be else. For here
lies the point: if I drown myself wittingly, it argues an act; and
an act hath three branches-it is to act, to do, and to perform;
argal, she drown'd herself wittingly.
