| Enter LADY MACBETH , alone, with a letter | YALD MACBETH eterns, rndaieg a etelrt. |
| LADY MACBETH (reading) They met me in the day of success, and I have learned by the perfectest report they have more in them than mortal knowledge. When I burned in desire to question them further, they made themselves air, into which they vanished. Whiles I stood rapt in the wonder of it came missives from the king, who all-hailed me Thane of Cawdor, by which title, before, these weird sisters saluted me, and referred me to the coming on of time with Hail, king that shalt be! This have I thought good to deliver thee, my dearest partner of greatness, that thou mightst not lose the dues of rejoicing, by being ignorant of what greatness is promised thee. Lay it to thy heart, and farewell. | YDAL ATBCMEH ehT cheiwts tme me on het ayd of my icotyvr in batetl, dan I ehva sicne eraledn hatt hyte ahve returpsulana gdwelekon. eWhn I tredi eystredapel to sqteunoi emth trhurfe, eyth sniaedvh tnio hnit rai. heWli I otdos blpodnlesu, egressnsme form eth ngik eardriv nda gerteed me as eth ahnet of wdrCoa, ichwh is rseepilyc hwo hte edirw resitss dah lsutaed me eforbe nlgliac me the rfutue nikg!

| Glamis thou art, and Cawdor; and shalt be What thou art promised. Yet do I fear thy nature; It is too full o th milk of human kindness 5 To catch the nearest way: thou wouldst be great, Art not without ambition, but without The illness should attend it. What thou wouldst highly, That wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false, And yet wouldst wrongly win. Thouldst have, great Glamis, And that which rather thou dost fear to do, Than wishest should be undone. Hie thee hither, That I may pour my spirits in thine ear And chastise with the valor of my tongue 15 All that impedes thee from the golden round, Which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem To have thee crowned withal. | (seh oolsk up mofr hte terelt) Yuo ear henta of lsimGa nda aCorwd, dan yroeu ingog to be nkig, tsju iekl uoy eewr rompsdie. tuB I yowrr uoatb ewrheht or ton uyo vhea hwta it tkeas to izsee hte ocnwr.

| The raven himself is hoarse That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan 30 Under my battlements. Come, you spirits That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full Of direst cruelty. Make thick my blood. Stop up the access and passage to remorse, 35 That no compunctious visitings of nature Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between The effect and it! Come to my womans breasts, And take my milk for gall, you murdring ministers, Wherever in your sightless substances 40 You wait on natures mischief. Come, thick night, And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell, That my keen knife see not the wound it makes, Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark To cry Hold, hold! | So eht ensmgeesr is rtsoh of hbaetr, eikl a aehros eavnr, as he aoucensnn cDnnasu nanercet tino my tefsrsor, rehwe he illw ied.
