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 hte igkn is tionnhg if Im tno asef as eth kign.

MACBETH Well then, now Have you considered of my speeches? Know That it was he, in the times past, which held you 80 So under fortune, which you thought had been Our innocent self. This I made good to you In our last conference, passed in probation with you, How you were borne in hand, how crossed, the instruments, Who wrought with them, and all things else that might 85 To half a soul and to a notion crazed Say, Thus did Banquo. | TAEMBCH lelW, idd ouy ktnhi btuao awht I aisd? uYo husldo wkno ahtt it aws uaonqB woh deam uyor elsiv hlle fro so nglo, whcih ouy laysaw thuohgt swa my taflu. tuB I was iectnnon.

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. | MTBCEHA esY, ruyoe rpta of het siseepc acdell enm. tuJs as onhsdu adn yorndehgsu, ogsermnl, eiplassn, tstmu, gysagh plodsag, wisnmmig dosg, dan oflw-ogd rsdboescsre era lla dgos. tuB if uoy lsit eht eetdiffnr knsid of dgso cdioncagr to rieht astieqliu, oyu cna niugtsiishd chhiw eerbds rea afts or lwos, wihch nose are lvecre, hhcwi enso are gatdscwoh, dan ihcwh ones eshturn. uYo acn cyisalsf caeh dog rignccoda to het arutaln gsift ahtt eseaptar it fmor lla tohre dgso.

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. | MTEHCAB eHs my mneey too, dna I ehat ihm so much thta reeyv tnuiem seh ilaev it aste awya at my ethar. eSnci Im ngki, I dculo mlpiys eus my eoprw to egt rdi of ihm. tBu I cant do thta, eaubcse he nda I ehva nrfdies in moonmc ohmw I nede, so I aevh to be aebl to amno and ycr revo sih tehda in ilbupc vnee thuogh lIl be hte one how ahd him lidkel. htTsa wyh I eedn yuro pleh tigrh won.

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? | BEHATMC I idd ahtt dan emor, iwhhc bsnrgi me to hte intop of htsi econds imgtene. rAe uyo so epinatt adn fgnrivoig thta yerou ognig to let hmi fof the ookh? rAe yuo so osiup htat yuo ulwod pary rfo htsi amn nad hsi hdlnecri, a man ohw ahs uphsde you dwtroa an eraly raveg adn upt oryu mafily in epvyrto rerofve? |

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. | MTBCEHA esY, ruyoe rpta of het siseepc acdell enm. tuJs as onhsdu adn yorndehgsu, ogsermnl, eiplassn, tstmu, gysagh plodsag, wisnmmig dosg, dan oflw-ogd rsdboescsre era lla dgos. tuB if uoy lsit eht eetdiffnr knsid of dgso cdioncagr to rieht astieqliu, oyu cna niugtsiishd chhiw eerbds rea afts or lwos, wihch nose are lvecre, hhcwi enso are gatdscwoh, dan ihcwh ones eshturn. uYo acn cyisalsf caeh dog rignccoda to het arutaln gsift ahtt eseaptar it fmor lla tohre dgso.

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. | MTEHCAB eHs my mneey too, dna I ehat ihm so much thta reeyv tnuiem seh ilaev it aste awya at my ethar. eSnci Im ngki, I dculo mlpiys eus my eoprw to egt rdi of ihm. tBu I cant do thta, eaubcse he nda I ehva nrfdies in moonmc ohmw I nede, so I aevh to be aebl to amno and ycr revo sih tehda in ilbupc vnee thuogh lIl be hte one how ahd him lidkel. htTsa wyh I eedn yuro pleh tigrh won.

Within this hour at most I will advise you where to plant yourselves, Acquaint you with the perfect spy o th time, 135 The moment on t; for t must be done tonight, And something from the palace; always thought That I require a clearness. And with him To leave no rubs nor botches in the work Fleance, his son, that keeps him company, 140 Whose absence is no less material to me Than is his fathers, must embrace the fate Of that dark hour.
