"What piece of work is a man! how noble in reason!how infinite in faculty! in form and moving howexpress and admirable! in action how like an angel!in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of theworld! the paragon of animals! "
A piece of work indeed. I didn't get it, I understood it to be irony - but now I see.
Translation
What piece of work is a man! How cowardly and stupid! How small minded! In form and moving, how slow and inelegant! In action how like a serpent! In apprehension how shortsighted! The scourge of the world! The meanest of animals!
