The difference between plangent and universal

Esse aut non esse: quaeritur. siue sagittae fundaeque flagitiosi fati pati siue arma in mare mali inferre aduersandoque illa finire in animo nobilior est. Mori, dormire, etc.

I had to stop because I couldn't figure out what to do with "and by a sleep" and what follows, not to mention "ay, there's the rub"—"eheu!"?  The real point of the above exercise is to get "fati pati" on the table.
