Act IV Scene i Lines 69-103 Thunder. First Apparition: an armed head MACBETH Tell me, thou unknown power— First Witch He knows thy thought: 70 Hear his speech, but say thou nought. First Apparition Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! Beware Macduff! Beware the Thane of Fife! Dismiss me. Enough. He descends MACBETH Whate'er thou art, for thy good caution, thanks. Thou hast harp'd my fear aright. But one word more— First Witch 75 He will not be commanded. Here's another More potent than the first. Thunder. Second Apparition: A Bloody Child Second Apparition Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! MACBETH Had I three ears, I'd hear thee. Second Apparition Be bloody, bold, and resolute. Laugh to scorn 80 The power of man, for none of woman born Shall harm Macbeth. He descends MACBETH Then live, Macduff: what need I fear of thee? But yet I'll make assurance double sure And take a bond of fate. Thou shalt not live, 85 That I may tell pale-hearted fear it lies, And sleep in spite of thunder. Thunder. Third Apparition: a Child Crowned, with a tree in his hand What is this That rises like the issue of a king And wears upon his baby brow the round And top of sovereignty? ALL Listen, but speak not to't. Third Apparition 90 Be lion-mettled, proud; and take no care Who chafes, who frets, or where conspirers are. Macbeth shall never vanquished be until Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill Shall come against him. He descends MACBETH That will never be. 95 Who can impress the forest, bid the tree Unfix his earthbound root? Sweet bodements, good! Rebellion's dead, rise never till the wood Of Birnam rise, and our high-placed Macbeth Shall live the lease of nature, pay his breath 100 To time and mortal custom. Yet my heart Throbs to know one thing. Tell me, if your art Can tell so much: shall Banquo's issue ever Reign in this kingdom? ALL Seek to know no more.

Act IV Scene iii Lines 100-139 MACDUFF 100 O Scotland, Scotland! MALCOLM If such a one be fit to govern, speak. I am as I have spoken. MACDUFF Fit to govern? No, not to live.—O nation miserable, With an untitled tyrant bloody-sceptered, 105 When shalt thou see thy wholesome days again, Since that the truest issue of thy throne By his own interdiction stands accursed And does blaspheme his breed? Thy royal father Was a most sainted king. The queen that bore thee, 110 Oftener upon her knees than on her feet, Died every day she lived. Fare thee well. These evils thou repeat'st upon thyself Have banish'd me from Scotland.—O my breast, Thy hope ends here! MALCOLM Macduff, this noble passion, 115 Child of integrity, hath from my soul Wiped the black scruples, reconciled my thoughts To thy good truth and honor. Devilish Macbeth By many of these trains hath sought to win me Into his power, and modest wisdom plucks me 120 From overcredulous haste: but God above Deal between thee and me, for even now I put myself to thy direction and Unspeak mine own detraction, here abjure The taints and blames I laid upon myself 125 For strangers to my nature. I am yet Unknown to woman, never was forsworn, Scarcely have coveted what was mine own, At no time broke my faith, would not betray The devil to his fellow, and delight 130No less in truth than life. My first false speaking Was this upon myself. What I am truly Is thine and my poor country's to command— Whither indeed, before thy here-approach, Old Siward, with ten thousand warlike men, 135 Already at a point, was setting forth. Now we'll together, and the chance of goodness Be like our warranted quarrel! Why are you silent? MACDUFF Such welcome and unwelcome things at once 'Tis hard to reconcile.
