Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am biting the bullet.
Furthermore, since I intend to defer next semester, I am proposing to translate
the whole of Hamlet. I would also contend, to those who have found me opaque
in the past, that my latest recension of _Much Ado_ shows I'm getting closer
to clear Klingon.
Would anyone vehemently object if I translated the whole play?
Also, last call for someone to unearth and forward me Guido's comments on
my play within a play translation. One response to him, since it impinges
on this translation too: Duj does not only mean "ship". It also means
"instinct".
