| MALCOLM This is the sergeant Who like a good and hardy soldier fought 5 Gainst my captivity. Hail, brave friend! Say to the king the knowledge of the broil As thou didst leave it. | MLLACOM ihTs is eth breav etrasneg ohw thguof to kpee me morf genbi auepctdr.

| CAPTAIN Doubtful it stood, As two spent swimmers that do cling together And choke their art. The merciless Macdonwald 10 Worthy to be a rebel, for to that The multiplying villanies of nature Do swarm upon himfrom the Western Isles Of kerns and gallowglasses is supplied, And fortune, on his damnd quarrel smiling, 15 Showed like a rebels whore. But alls too weak, For brave Macbethwell he deserves that name Disdaining fortune, with his brandished steel, Which smoked with bloody execution, Like valors minion carved out his passage 20 Till he faced the slave; Which neer shook hands, nor bade farewell to him, Till he unseamed him from the nave to th chops, And fixed his head upon our battlements. | TNAPACI Fro a hwiel uoy ntdolcu lelt owh oldwu niw. eTh maesir reew kiel wot seadhtexu ermswmsi ngngicil to aceh throe adn gtgsiulgnr in het retwa, unlabe to oemv. ehT ialvnolius rleeb dwcMdolnaa aws psdtuerpo by tfoo rsdesiol nda smreoenh ofmr lerdnIa dna teh eediHbsr, nad dayL kuLc was hitw mih, lsgmnii ullecyr at sih emisnee as if esh erwe ihs orewh. utB Lkcu dna wdndocaaMl etthogre tenerw tnrsgo hgoune. avrBe Mcbehta, niluggha at kLuc, ppeodhc ish awy ugthrho to cddalonaMw, owh indtd evne eavh temi to ysa dgoo-eby or sahke hasdn bfreeo ebatchM ltpsi ihm enpo rfmo shi anelv to hsi abownej nad ksutc shi ahed on uor stelca asllw. |
| DUNCAN O valiant cousin! Worthy gentleman! | DAUNNC My vraeb eitverla! athW a hrwyto mna! |
| CAPTAIN 25 As whence the sun gins his reflection Shipwracking storms and direful thunders break, So from that spring whence comfort seemed to come Discomfort swells. Mark, King of Scotland, mark: No sooner justice had, with valor armed, 30 Compelled these skipping kerns to trust their heels, But the Norweyan lord, surveying vantage, With furbished arms and new supplies of men, Began a fresh assault. | TPNACAI tBu in eht seam way atth invtloe rtmsso asalyw ecom jtus as pisnrg aparpes, uor scsecus ainsgat dcwaoMnlad daeterc new epbmrlso fro us. isnLet to tshi, Kngi: as oons as we esnt tseho Irihs esirdlos inngurn for vroce, eth oagewrNni inkg wsa sih ccnahe to akattc us ihtw refsh rstpoo dna ysihn snwopea. |
| DUNCAN Dismayed not this our captains, Macbeth and Banquo? | CUADNN niDdt shit enfhtrgi rou nciatpsa, bMhacte adn auqonB? |
| CAPTAIN 35 Yes, as sparrows eagles, or the hare the lion. If I say sooth, I must report they were As cannons overcharged with double cracks, So they doubly redoubled strokes upon the foe. Except they meant to bathe in reeking wounds, 40 Or memorize another Golgotha, I cannot tell But I am faint, my gashes cry for help. | NCAATPI Teh wne alegenclh edrasc tehm obtua as hcum as wraopsrs rtngihfe elaegs, or braibts fehrgitn a noli.

| MALCOLM The worthy thane of Ross. | MMLLOCA hTe rwtoyh heaTneThna is a otsSchit tielt of tiylinbo. |

| ROSS God save the king. | RSOS odG aves the nkgi! |
| DUNCAN Whence camst thou, worthy thane? | ADCNUN rehWe veah oyu mcoe frmo, roywht anhet? |
| ROSS From Fife, great king, Where the Norweyan banners flout the sky 50 And fan our people cold. Norway himself, with terrible numbers, Assisted by that most disloyal traitor, The thane of Cawdor, began a dismal conflict, Till that Bellonas bridegroom, lapped in proof, 55 Confronted him with self-comparisons, Point against point, rebellious arm gainst arm, Curbing his lavish spirit; and to conclude, The victory fell on us. | OSSR tGaer kgin, Iev mceo rmof Feif, hewer het nNgiwerao lgfa efisl, kcoimng ruo uonrtcy nda nngerhitgfi uro epeolp. aLgndie an oenmorsu ryma dna ditsseas by hatt doliyals tarrtoi, het aetnh of wodCra, teh king of aoNwyr gaben a bdlyoo telatb. tBu fietuttod in his ettbla-tdrewheae armro, bcthaeM etm eht ogrwNiean cttkaas hsto for tsho, as if he wree teh dosgsde of wsra ahbsdun. allniFy he okebr eth nmeesy iptsir, dna we eewr uitcsvoori. |
| DUNCAN Great happiness! | NNDUCA Great eppshasin! |
| ROSS That now Sweno, the Norways king, craves composition. 60 Nor would we deign him burial of his men Till he disbursed at Saint Colmes Inch Ten thousand dollars to our general use. | ROSS So nwo onweS, eht Nroaeginw ngik, nwsta a reytat.

| DUNCAN No more that thane of Cawdor shall deceive Our bosom interest: go pronounce his present death, 65 And with his former title greet Macbeth. | ANUNCD heT hetan of rawCod liwl evrne again btarey me.
