Friend to whom Hamlet laments Yorick's death (7)

I believe the answer is:

horatio

(Other definitions for horatio that I've seen before include "Hamlet''s friend - Nelson" , "Nelson or Hornblower?" , "Good seafaring name" , "Shakespearean part" , "Hamlet's friend: Hornblower's first name" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
