SIWARD

He's worth no more.

They say he parted well, and paid his score,

And so, God be with him! Here comes newer comfort.

[Re-enter MACDUFF, with MACBETH's head]

MACDUFF

⁵⁵ Hail, king! for so thou art: behold, where stands

The usurper's cursed head: the time is free:

I see thee compass'd with thy kingdom's pearl,

That speak my salutation in their minds;

Whose voices I desire aloud with mine,

⁶⁰ Hail, King of Scotland!

ALL

                                           Hail, King of Scotland!

[Flourish]

MALCOLM

We shall not spend a large expense of time

Before we reckon with your several loves,

And make us even with you. My thanes and kinsmen,

Henceforth be earls, the first that ever Scotland

⁶⁵ In such an honor named. What's more to do,

Which would be planted newly with the time,

As calling home our exiled friends abroad

That fled the snares of watchful tyranny;

Producing forth the cruel ministers

⁷⁰ Of this dead butcher and his fiend-like queen

Who, as 'tis thought, by self and violent hands

Took off her life; this, and what needful else

That calls upon us, by the grace of Grace,

We will perform in measure, time and place.

⁷⁵ So, thanks to all at once and to each one,

Whom we invite to see us crowned at Scone.

Flourish. Exeunt.
