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?

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.

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.

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.
