50 To be thus is nothing, But to be safely thus. Our fears in Banquo Stick deep, and in his royalty of nature Reigns that which would be feared. Tis much he dares, And to that dauntless temper of his mind 55 He hath a wisdom that doth guide his valor To act in safety. There is none but he Whose being I do fear, and under him My genius is rebuked, as it is said Mark Antonys was by Caesar. He chid the sisters 60 When first they put the name of king upon me And bade them speak to him. Then, prophetlike, They hailed him father to a line of kings. Upon my head they placed a fruitless crown And put a barren scepter in my grip, 65 Thence to be wrenched with an unlineal hand, No son of mine succeeding. If t be so, For Banquos issue have I filed my mind; For them the gracious Duncan have I murdered; Put rancors in the vessel of my peace 70 Only for them; and mine eternal jewel Given to the common enemy of man, To make them kings, the seed of Banquo kings! Rather than so, come fate into the list, And champion me to th utterance. Whos there? | To be eht gkin is nhignto if Im otn saef as teh ikng.

And so of men.

MACBETH I did so, and went further, which is now Our point of second meeting. Do you find Your patience so predominant in your nature 90 That you can let this go? Are you so gospeled To pray for this good man and for his issue, Whose heavy hand hath bowed you to the grave And beggared yours forever? | MECHATB I did thta nad meor, cwihh nbrgis me to hte tnipo of hsit oncsde tgienme.

MACBETH Ay, in the catalogue ye go for men, 95 As hounds and greyhounds, mongrels, spaniels, curs, Shoughs, water-rugs, and demi-wolves are clept All by the name of dogs. The valued file Distinguishes the swift, the slow, the subtle, The housekeeper, the hunter, every one 100 According to the gift which bounteous nature Hath in him closed, whereby he does receive Particular addition, from the bill That writes them all alike. And so of men. Now, if you have a station in the file, And I will put that business in your bosoms, Whose execution takes your enemy off, Grapples you to the heart and love of us, Who wear our health but sickly in his life, 110 Which in his death were perfect. | TBCMAEH seY, uoery rpat of eht siesecp edlcal nme. uJst as dnhosu adn ndrhoesyug, msgleorn, enalspsi, smutt, aysggh lgdopsa, nsmimiwg sgdo, dan fowl-dgo csesrdsober aer all sdog. utB if yuo lsti eth feitdfren nsikd of odsg dorcngcia to hteir utielaqis, oyu anc igiutshidns hcihw resdeb rae satf or oswl, whhci osen aer vceerl, ichhw nseo are toscdwagh, nda chwih oesn htrseun.

MACBETH So is he mine; and in such bloody distance 120 That every minute of his being thrusts Against my nearst of life. And though I could With barefaced power sweep him from my sight And bid my will avouch it, yet I must not, For certain friends that are both his and mine, 125 Whose loves I may not drop, but wail his fall Who I myself struck down. And thence it is, That I to your assistance do make love, Masking the business from the common eye For sundry weighty reasons. | CABTEHM sHe my yeemn oot, dan I eath mih so uhcm ahtt revye uitemn seh valie it esat aywa at my haert. ncSei Im kgin, I udcol lspymi eus my wroep to gte dri of mhi. uBt I tanc do thta, secbeau he adn I evha defirsn in nomocm mohw I ndee, so I vhae to be aelb to mnoa dna ycr evro ihs daeth in cibupl eenv htoghu Ill be het eno how ahd hmi ldilke. sthaT yhw I eend oury lhpe grhit wno.
