The night is dark and cold, and the watchmen are nervous. They summoned Horatio to see an apparition that has appeared to them, not knowing whether it will appear again.

For this relief much thanks. 'Tis bitter cold,
And I am sick at heart.

Horatio says ’tis but our fantasy And will not let belief take hold of him Touching this dreaded sight twice seen of us. Therefore I have entreated him along With us to watch the minutes of this night, That if again this apparition come He may approve our eyes and speak to it.
