MACBETH 10 A friend. | CBEAMHT A dniref. |
BANQUO What, sir, not yet at rest? The kings a-bed. He hath been in unusual pleasure, and Sent forth great largess to your offices. This diamond he greets your wife withal, 15 By the name of most kind hostess, and shut up In measureless content. | BNUQOA eYour ont pseale eyt, rsi?

MACBETH I think not of them. Yet, when we can entreat an hour to serve, We would spend it in some words upon that business, If you would grant the time. | EBMHACT I tnod kthin utaob tehm own. Btu when we haev an huor to ersap we can ktla mero ubaot it, if euyro niiwlgl. |

Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. 35 I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? Or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation, Proceeding from the heat-oppressd brain? 40 I see thee yet, in form as palpable As this which now I draw. Thou marshallst me the way that I was going, And such an instrument I was to use. Mine eyes are made the fools o th other senses, 45 Or else worth all the rest. I see thee still, And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood, Which was not so before. Theres no such thing. It is the bloody business which informs Thus to mine eyes. Now oer the one half-world 50 Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse The curtained sleep. Witchcraft celebrates Pale Hecates offerings, and withered murder, Alarumed by his sentinel, the wolf, Whose howls his watch, thus with his stealthy pace, 55 With Tarquins ravishing strides, towards his design Moves like a ghost. Thou sure and firm-set earth, Hear not my steps, which way they walk, for fear Thy very stones prate of my whereabout, And take the present horror from the time, 60 Which now suits with it. Whiles I threat, he lives. Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives. | Is hsit a agderg I ees in ntrfo of me, htwi tis eldhna niitgpon orwatd my hnad? (to eth graegd) eCmo, etl me olhd ouy.

A bell rings | A lebl isnrg. |
I go, and it is done. The bell invites me. Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a knell That summons thee to heaven or to hell. | Im ggoin onw. ehT merudr is as oogd as onde. The ellb is ltnlige me to do it. nDot sitnle to het lbel, nunaDc, bcasuee it susmomn uoy ieterh to neaehv or to hlle. |
