Is the drama text below a prose or verse?

Hamlet: I have of late, but wherefore I know not,- lost all my
mirth, forgone all custom of exercises; and indeed, it goes so
heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame, the earth,
seems to me a sterile promontory..

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Like all of Shakespeare's tragedies, Hamlet is written mostly in verse, but over 30% of the lines are in prose, which is the highest percentage of any of the tragedies.
