Hamlet,
Act 3, Scene 2, line 255
Paraphrase: My thoughts murderous, my hands ready and willing (to commit murder), my poison fit (for the murder), and the opportunity (to do the murder) all come together, (making this) a time when everything works together (to bring about the murder), (and) when no other creature will see (the murder).
