Ummm, no. I'm afraid you're wrong, by about two acts. I don't have H. in
front of me, but "To be or not to be, doobie doobie do" was Hamlet's
soliloqouy early in the third act. "Alas, oor Yurick, I knew him well, of
infinite jest, of excellent fancy, yada^3" doesn't appear until the fifth
act, as I recall. Neither "wacky," both are worth reading through more
than a few times. In fact, if you read nothing but those two passages,
you'd have a pretty good idea as to what H. is all about and what Bill was
trying to say.
