If Hamlet means by “providence” mere fate

\n(Instead of predestination), one can state
\nHe’s not a Calvinist convert, after all.
\nBesides, it’s written here with a small “p”
\nAnd therefore doesn’t have to be Divine;
\nSo, rather than theologian, he still can be
\nConsidered a philosopher, sad but fine.
\nFor the fate to which he stoically alludes,
\nShortly before his own tragic demise,
\nMay be death per se, which each of us includes \u2013
\nSince everything that lives eventually dies.
