Act V Scene i Lines 13-41 Gentlewoman Neither to you nor any one; having no witness to confirm my speech. [Enter LADY MACBETH, with a taper] 15 Lo you, here she comes! This is her very guise and, upon my life, fast asleep. Observe her; stand close. Doctor How came she by that light? Gentlewoman Why, it stood by her. She has light by her continually. 'Tis her command. Doctor 20 You see her eyes are open. Gentlewoman Ay, but their sense is shut. Doctor What is it she does now? Look, how she rubs her hands. Gentlewoman It is an accustomed action with her, to seem thus washing her hands. I have known her continue in this a quarter of an hour. LADY MACBETH 25 Yet here's a spot. Doctor Hark! she speaks: I will set down what comes from her, to satisfy my remembrance the more strongly. LADY MACBETH Out, damned spot! out, I say!--One: two: why, then, 'tis time to do't.--Hell is murky!--Fie, my lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? 30 What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account? Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him? Doctor Do you mark that? LADY MACBETH The thane of Fife had a wife. Where is she now? What, 35 will these hands ne'er be clean? No more o' that, my lord, no more o' that: you mar all with this starting. Doctor Go to, go to. You have known what you should not. Gentlewoman She has spoke what she should not, I am sure of that. Heaven knows what she has known. LADY MACBETH 40 Here's the smell of the blood still: all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand. Oh, oh, oh!

Act V Scene v Lines 1-28 MACBETH Hang out our banners on the outward walls. The cry is still 'They come!' Our castle's strength Will laugh a siege to scorn: here let them lie Till famine and the ague eat them up. 5 Were they not forced with those that should be ours, We might have met them dareful, beard to beard, And beat them backward home. [A cry of women within] What is that noise? SEYTON It is the cry of women, my good lord. [ He Exits.] MACBETH I have almost forgot the taste of fears. 10 The time has been, my senses would have cooled To hear a night-shriek, and my fell of hair Would at a dismal treatise rouse and stir As life were in't. I have supped full with horrors. Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts, 15 Cannot once start me. Re-enter SEYTON
Wherefore was that cry? SEYTON The Queen, my lord, is dead. MACBETH She should have died hereafter. There would have been a time for such a word. Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, 20 Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player 25 That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

Act V Scene viii Lines 6-34 MACDUFF I have no words: My voice is in my sword, thou bloodier villain Than terms can give thee out! [They fight] MACBETH Thou losest labour: As easy mayst thou the intrenchant air 10 With thy keen sword impress as make me bleed. Let fall thy blade on vulnerable crests; I bear a charmed life, which must not yield To one of woman born. MACDUFF
Despair thy charm, And let the angel whom thou still hast served 15 Tell thee, Macduff was from his mother's womb Untimely ripped. MACBETH Accursed be that tongue that tells me so, For it hath cowed my better part of man! And be these juggling fiends no more believed 20 That palter with us in a double sense, That keep the word of promise to our ear And break it to our hope. I'll not fight with thee. MACDUFF Then yield thee, coward, And live to be the show and gaze o' the time. 25 We'll have thee, as our rarer monsters are, Painted on a pole, and underwrit, “Here may you see the tyrant.” MACBETH
I will not yield, To kiss the ground before young Malcolm's feet And to be baited with the rabble's curse. 30 Though Birnam Wood be come to Dunsinane And thou opposed, being of no woman born, Yet I will try the last. Before my body I throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macduff, And damned be him that first cries, 'Hold, enough!' [They exit fighting. Alarums.
They enter fighting, and Macbeth is slain. Macduff exits carrying off Macbeth’s body.]
