'a and a--
Now 'a is a-praying
'A took my father grossly
At game, a-swearing, or about some act.
These lines have been taken from Shakespeare's Hamlet spoke by Hamlet in Act III. 'A and a- are used frequently in Hamlet. I think 'A and a- mean he and in respectively but am wounder are these contractions? If yes, what are the actual words?
Thanks
