Act III Scene i Lines 29-71 MACBETH We hear our bloody cousins are bestowed 30 In England and in Ireland, not confessing Their cruel parricide, filling their hearers With strange invention. But of that tomorrow, When therewithal we shall have cause of state Craving us jointly. Hie you to horse. Adieu, 35 Till you return at night. Goes Fleance with you? BANQUO Ay, my good lord. Our time does call upon 's. MACBETH I wish your horses swift and sure of foot, And so I do commend you to their backs. Farewell. Exit BANQUO 40 Let every man be master of his time Till seven at night. To make society The sweeter welcome, we will keep ourself Till suppertime alone. While then, God be with you. Exeunt all but MACBETH, and a servant Sirrah, a word with you. Attend those men 45 Our pleasure? SERVANT They are, my lord, without the palace gate. MACBETH Bring them before us. Exit Servant To be thus is nothing, But to be safely thus. Our fears in Banquo Stick deep, and in his royalty of nature 50 Reigns that which would be feared. 'Tis much he dares, And to that dauntless temper of his mind He hath a wisdom that doth guide his valor To act in safety. There is none but he Whose being I do fear: and under him, 55 My genius is rebuked; as it is said, Mark Antony's was by Caesar. He chid the sisters When first they put the name of king upon me, And bade them speak to him. Then prophet-like They hailed him father to a line of kings. 60 Upon my head they placed a fruitless crown And put a barren scepter in my grip, Thence to be wrenched with an unlineal hand, No son of mine succeeding. If 't be so, For Banquo's issue have I filed my mind; 65 For them the gracious Duncan have I murdered, Put rancors in the vessel of my peace Only for them, and mine eternal jewel Given to the common enemy of man, To make them kings, the seeds of Banquo kings. 70 Rather than so, come fate into the list, And champion me to the utterance!

Act III Scene iv Lines 99-140 MACBETH [to the ghost] What man dare, I dare. 100 Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear, The armed rhinoceros, or the Hyrcan tiger; Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves Shall never tremble: or be alive again, And dare me to the desert with thy sword; 105 If trembling I inhabit then, protest me The baby of a girl. Hence, horrible shadow! Unreal mockery, hence! GHOST OF BANQUO vanishes Why, so: being gone, I am a man again.---Pray you, sit still. LADY MACBETH You have displaced the mirth, broke the good meeting 110 With most admired disorder. MACBETH Can such things be, 111 And overcome us like a summer's cloud, 112 Without our special wonder? You make me strange 113 Even to the disposition that I owe, 114 When now I think you can behold such sights, 115 And keep the natural ruby of your cheeks, When mine is blanched with fear. ROSS What sights, my lord? LADY MACBETH I pray you speak not. He grows worse and worse. Question enrages him. At once, good night. Stand not upon the order of your going, 120 But go at once. LENNOX Good night; and better health 121 Attend his majesty! LADY MACBETH A kind good night to all! Exeunt all but MACBETH and LADY MACBETH MACBETH 122 It will have blood; they say, blood will have blood: Stones have been known to move and trees to speak; Augurs and understood relations have 125 By magot-pies and choughs and rooks brought forth The secret'st man of blood. What is the night? LADY MACBETH Almost at odds with morning, which is which. MACBETH How say'st thou, that Macduff denies his person At our great bidding? LADY MACBETH Did you send to him, sir? MACBETH 130 I hear it by the way; but I will send: There's not a one of them but in his house I keep a servant fee'd. I will tomorrow, And betimes I will, to the weird sisters: More shall they speak; for now I am bent to know, 135 By the worst means, the worst. For mine own good, All causes shall give way: I am in blood Stepped in so far that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o'er: Strange things I have in head, that will to hand;. 140 Which must be acted ere they may be scanned. |
