Gravedigger 2: The gallows-maker, for that frame outlives a thousand tenants.
Gravedigger 1: I like thy wit well in good faith. The gallows does well, but how does it well? It does well to those that do ill. [...] To't again, come.
Gravedigger 2: Who builds stronger than a mason, a shipwright, or a carpenter?

Gravedigger 2: Mass, I cannot tell.
Gravedigger 1: Cudgel thy brains no more about it [...] and when you are asked this question next, say a grave-maker. The houses he makes lasts till doomsday.
Gravedigger 1 would have to be my favourite Hamlet character. Witty fellow.
