O, what a noble mind is here o'erthrown! The courtier's, scholar's, soldier's, eye, tongue, sword, Th' expectancy and rose of the fair state, The glass of fashion and the mould of form, Th' observ'd of all observers - quite, quite down!1845 And I, of ladies most deject and wretched, That suck'd the honey of his music vows, Now see that noble and most sovereign reason, Like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh; That unmatch'd form and feature of blown youth1850 Blasted with ecstasy. O, woe is me T' have seen what I have seen, see what I see!

Answer: This is an excerpt from William Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare (bapt. 1564 - 1616) was an English poet and playwright, often referred to as the "Swan of Avon." He is believed to have written at least thirty-seven plays, and thus made a large contribution to both the English language and literature.

This is an excerpt from his famous tragedy, Hamlet. It tells a story about Prince Hamlet, a man who seeks revenge after his father is murdered by his uncle. The lines are uttered by Ophelia, a woman who is in love with Hamlet, in Act 3, Scene 1.
