"Nay, but to live
In the rank sweat of ... an enseamed bed,
Stew'd in corruption, honeying and making love
Over the nasty sty."

so Hamlet is saying this to his mother...but what does it mean? I know what he's talking about, but why bring it up? Could you put it in modern tongue? Like, how would you say that to your mother?
 
Hamlet's expressing his anger to his mother about her having so quickly deserted his father for his treacherous uncle. Basically I guess you could say he was calling his mom a ho.
