Bard of Avon Calling

I need to re-purchase a copy of Hamlet. The Pelican Shakespeare version of the famous play has these bizarre editorial emendations, "Lamort" instead of "Lamound," "heated visage" instead of "tristful visage," and so on. It's like reading the New American Bible version of the Bard of Avon.

Existence or its opposite? That's what I am asking myself.
Whether it be more or less dignified to put up with
The barbs and darts of brash Luck, or to use weapons
Against distress's oceans, to stop them from happening.

Too tired to translate the whole soliloquy into the NAB idiom.
