MACBETH Stay, you imperfect speakers, tell me more. By Sinels death I know I am thane of Glamis. But how of Cawdor? The thane of Cawdor lives, A prosperous gentleman, and to be king 75 Stands not within the prospect of belief, No more than to be Cawdor.

ROSS 90 The king hath happily received, Macbeth, The news of thy success, and when he reads Thy personal venture in the rebels fight, His wonders and his praises do contend Which should be thine or his. Silenced with that, 95 In viewing oer the rest o the selfsame day, He finds thee in the stout Norweyan ranks, Nothing afeard of what thyself didst make, Strange images of death. As thick as tale Can post with post, and every one did bear 100 Thy praises in his kingdoms great defense, And poured them down before him.	SRSO The kign saw payph to hera of oyur scesucs, atchebM. rveehneW he hsear eht rytso of royu xitplseo in eht thgif angtisa eht leebrs, he oesbcem so zeaamd it amske mhi shecpeless.

ROSS 105 And, for an earnest of a greater honor, He bade me, from him, call thee thane of Cawdor: In which addition, hail, most worthy thane, For it is thine.	SROS Adn to geiv uoy a eastt of wahts in sreto orf ouy, he lodt me to lcla oyu eth tenah of rwaCod. So ailh, atneh of wdoaCr! hTta itelt lnogebs to uoy nwo.

MACBETH The thane of Cawdor lives. Why do you dress me 110 In borrowed robes?	MTCAEBH hTe tnaeh of dowarC is slitl evial. hWy ear ouy ggnvii me sih iltte?
ANGUS Who was the thane lives yet, But under heavy judgment bears that life Which he deserves to lose. Whether he was combined With those of Norway, or did line the rebel With hidden help and vantage, or that with both 115 He labored in his countrys wrack, I know not; But treasons capital, confessed and proved, Have overthrown him.	USAGN heT nma ohw was the htean of Crdwao is istll aelvi, tbu ehs bene dtenecsne to atedh, dan he eesvesrd to ide.

MACBETH (aside)Glamis, and thane of Cawdor! The greatest is behind. (to ROSS and ANGUS) Thanks for your pains. (aside to BANQUO) Do you not hope your children shall be kings, When those that gave the thane of Cawdor to me Promised no less to them?

BANQUO That, trusted home, Might yet enkindle you unto the crown, Besides the thane of Cawdor. But tis strange. 125 And oftentimes, to win us to our harm, The instruments of darkness tell us truths, Win us with honest trifles, to betray s In deepest consequence. (to ROSS and ANGUS) Cousins, a word, I pray you.	OUNABQ If uoy sttur wath hety ays, uyo gimht be on yoru awy to cgboiemn gikn, as wlle as aneht of wdoCra. tBu hist whoel hitng is sgtnear.

BANQUO , ROSS , and ANGUS move to one side	SSOR , GUNAS , dan NOUAQB mevo to oen iesd.
MACBETH (aside) Two truths are told, As happy prologues to the swelling act Of the imperial theme. (to ROSS and ANGUS) I thank you, gentlemen. (aside) This supernatural soliciting Cannot be ill, cannot be good. If ill, 135 Why hath it given me earnest of success, Commencing in a truth? I am thane of Cawdor. If good, why do I yield to that suggestion Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair And make my seated heart knock at my ribs, 140 Against the use of nature? Present fears Are less than horrible imaginings.	EATBCHM (to shlimef) So fra het tiwhcse eahv todl me two nisthg htta mace utre, so it meses iekl stih will eimctlaun in my eimgconb nigk.

MACBETH 155 Give me your favor. My dull brain was wrought With things forgotten. Kind gentlemen, your pains Are registered where every day I turn The leaf to read them. Let us toward the king. (aside to BANQUO) Think upon what hath chanced, and, at more time, 160 The interim having weighed it, let us speak Our free hearts each to other.

ROSS 90 The king hath happily received, Macbeth, The news of thy success, and when he reads Thy personal venture in the rebels fight, His wonders and his praises do contend Which should be thine or his. Silenced with that, 95 In viewing oer the rest o the selfsame day, He finds thee in the stout Norweyan ranks, Nothing afeard of what thyself didst make, Strange images of death. As thick as tale Can post with post, and every one did bear 100 Thy praises in his kingdoms great defense, And poured them down before him.

ROSS 105 And, for an earnest of a greater honor, He bade me, from him, call thee thane of Cawdor: In which addition, hail, most worthy thane, For it is thine.

ANGUS Who was the thane lives yet, But under heavy judgment bears that life Which he deserves to lose. Whether he was combined With those of Norway, or did line the rebel With hidden help and vantage, or that with both 115 He labored in his countrys wrack, I know not; But treasons capital, confessed and proved, Have overthrown him.

MACBETH (aside)Glamis, and thane of Cawdor! The greatest is behind. (to ROSS and ANGUS) Thanks for your pains. (aside to BANQUO) Do you not hope your children shall be kings, When those that gave the thane of Cawdor to me Promised no less to them?

BANQUO That, trusted home, Might yet enkindle you unto the crown, Besides the thane of Cawdor. But tis strange. 125 And oftentimes, to win us to our harm, The instruments of darkness tell us truths, Win us with honest trifles, to betray s In deepest consequence.

MACBETH (aside) Two truths are told, As happy prologues to the swelling act Of the imperial theme. (to ROSS and ANGUS) I thank you, gentlemen. (aside) This supernatural soliciting Cannot be ill, cannot be good. If ill, 135 Why hath it given me earnest of success, Commencing in a truth? I am thane of Cawdor. If good, why do I yield to that suggestion Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair And make my seated heart knock at my ribs, 140 Against the use of nature? Present fears Are less than horrible imaginings.	EATBCHM (to shlimef) So fra het tiwhcse eahv todl me two nisthg htta mace utre, so it meses iekl stih will eimctlaun in my eimgconb nigk.

MACBETH 155 Give me your favor. My dull brain was wrought With things forgotten. Kind gentlemen, your pains Are registered where every day I turn The leaf to read them. Let us toward the king. (aside to BANQUO) Think upon what hath chanced, and, at more time, 160 The interim having weighed it, let us speak Our free hearts each to other.
