                    Be all my sins remembered. (Act 3, Scene 1)


    Paraphrased: Here comes ophelia! Ophelia, please pray for me!

In the beginning he wonders if it is better to be alive, and endure the suffering or if it is better to die, and stop fearing the eternal sleep of death. Finally, when Ophelia arrives, Hamlet expresses that he wants to die himself, as he says "Be all my sins remembered" meaning that he wishes she prays for his sins once he is dead.
