LADY MACBETH

Is Banquo gone from court?

SERVANT

Ay, madam, but returns again tonight.

ANVSETR

LADY MACBETH

Say to the king I would attend his leisure
For a few words.

AYLD CHMETAB

NTSRAEV

No bpomler, mmada.

LADY MACBETH

Naughts had, alls spent,
Where our desire is got without content.
Tis safer to be that which we destroy
Than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy.

Enter MACBETH
AMTEHBC nterse.
10 How now, my lord! Why do you keep alone,
Of sorriest fancies your companions making,
Using those thoughts which should indeed have died
With them they think on? Things without all remedy
Should be without regard. Whats done is done.
sathW gonig on, my rdol? Wyh aer oyu npkiege to losyfeur, twih ylno uory das gtthsuoh to epke oyu acomynp? Toehs hthougst hsuldo evah dide hewn ouy iekldl eht enm uyoer nhigknit otuab. If ouy ntca fxi it, yuo nosuhdtl eivg it a coneds thgouht. hsWat oden is endo.

MACBETH

15 We have scorched the snake, not killed it.
Shell close and be herself whilst our poor malice
Remains in danger of her former tooth.
But let the frame of things disjoint, both the worlds suffer,
Ere we will eat our meal in fear, and sleep
20 In the affliction of these terrible dreams
That shake us nightly. Better be with the dead,
Whom we, to gain our peace, have sent to peace,
Than on the torture of the mind to lie
In restless ecstasy. Duncan is in his grave.
25 After lifes fitful fever he sleeps well.
Treason has done his worst; nor steel nor poison,
Malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing
Can touch him further.

Among your guests tonight.

MACBETH

So shall I, love,
And so, I pray, be you. Let your remembrance
Apply to Banquo; present him eminence,
Both with eye and tongue: unsafe the while that we
35 Must lave our honors in these flattering streams,
And make our faces vizards to our hearts,
Disguising what they are.

Oh, full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife!
Thou knowst that Banquo, and his Fleance, lives.

MACBETH

Theres comfort yet; they are assailable.
Then be thou jocund. Ere the bat hath flown
His cloistered flight, ere to black Hecates summons
The shard-borne beetle with his drowsy hums
45 Hath rung nights yawning peal, there shall be done
A deed of dreadful note.

LADY MACBETH

ALDY EBMCATH

MACBETH

Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck,
Till thou applaud the deed. Come, seeling night,
Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day
50 And with thy bloody and invisible hand
Cancel and tear to pieces that great bond
Which keeps me pale. Light thickens, and the crow
Makes wing to th rooky wood.
Good things of day begin to droop and drowse;
55 Whiles nights black agents to their preys do rouse.
Thou marvelst at my words: but hold thee still.
Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill.
So, prithee, go with me.
