All I Seek Is That Moment of Fame

It may seem crazy to be normal, go along with the flow and show no rage... that all I seek is that moment of fame, and though I don't criticize others, I am the only actor on this bright stage with no one to please but my dame! All I seek is that moment of fame to revenge friends of old might, or should I say remorseless rivals instead? Pull up those closed dark curtains and let in some warm sunlight... is someone too hesitant and very afraid? By wearing the finest Renaissance's costume tailored for an unfit lord, I would resemble an insane Hamlet ready to engage in cold murder; God halt this hand from committing that crime with a sharp sword: dungeon should my confinement upon an expeditious order! All I seek is that moment of fame, something not hard to be earned; see me act and applaud me for my great talent... and if that delights you, remember the role I played as a king whose rampant madness was his contemplated intent!
