What is Laertes first question to Claudius about his fathers death?
insens350 [35]

Let this be so.

His means of death, his obscure burial—

No trophy, sword, nor hatchment o'er his bones,

No noble rite nor formal ostentation,

Cry to be heard, as 'twere from heaven to earth,

That I must call't in question.
