opening lines

[mike thomas]

Sampson. Gregory, on my word, we'll not carry coals.

Gregory. No, for then we should be colliers.

The first two lines of dialogue which open Hamlet.

Question: what is Sampson on? Is he for some reason referring to Newcastle?


anyone?

[blank|verse]

These lines are from the opening scene of Romeo and Juliet, not Hamlet.

(question still valid )
