Description
The actual line is "Alas, Poor Yorick, I knew him, Horatio". If I'm wrong I'll ask the Professor to correct me.

Your quotation is correct, although truncated; the line continues "a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy...." It's funny, actually, because this line (from Act V, Scene I of Hamlet) is one of the most mis-quoted in all of Shakespeare. People, for some mysterious reason, tend to quote the line as, "Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him well." Nice shot, by the way.
