| MACBETH Hang out our banners on the outward walls. The cry is still They come! Our castles strength Will laugh a siege to scorn. Here let them lie Till famine and the ague eat them up. 5 Were they not forced with those that should be ours, We might have met them dareful, beard to beard, And beat them backward home. | HEABCTM gaHn uor lsagf on eth otuer wasll. yevernEo eeksp linlyeg, ereH yeth emco! ruO sltaec is sngort ugohen to luagh ffo ehitr segie.

| SEYTON It is the cry of women, my good lord. | NSOETY tIs oenwm niycgr, my dgoo rdol. |
| Exit | TSENYO stxei. |
| MACBETH I have almost forgot the taste of fears. 10 The time has been my senses would have cooled To hear a night-shriek, and my fell of hair Would at a dismal treatise rouse and stir As life were in t. I have supped full with horrors. Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts 15 Cannot once start me. | HCETBMA eIv amstlo retgonfto tawh rfae slefe lkie. hreeT wsa a time newh I uwdol heav nebe efrrtieid by a eskrih in hte ihgnt, nda eht rhia on my nkis dlwou hvea stood up wneh I ehrda a gtsoh tysor.

| Wherefore was that cry? | haWt asw htta cyr orf? |
| SEYTON The queen, my lord, is dead. | YTSNEO Teh eqnue is aded, my lrdo. |
| MACBETH She should have died hereafter. There would have been a time for such a word. Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, 20 Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Lifes but a walking shadow, a poor player 25 That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. | BMHATEC eSh udwol heav dedi rlate awayyn. haTt wens asw obndu to meoc dyomsae. orTrmwoo, dna ortmwoor, adn ororwmto. heT syda pcere wlysol ganol ultin eht edn of imte.

| Enter a MESSENGER | A GSNEEERMS sntere. |
| Thou comest to use Thy tongue; thy story quickly. | ueovY ocme to ltel me simonehtg. leTl me kcyiqlu. |

| MACBETH If thou speakst false, Upon the next tree shall thou hang alive Till famine cling thee. If thy speech be sooth, 40 I care not if thou dost for me as much. I pull in resolution and begin To doubt th equivocation of the fiend That lies like truth. Fear not, till Birnam wood Do come to Dunsinane; and now a wood If this which he avouches does appear, There is nor flying hence nor tarrying here. I gin to be aweary of the sun, And wish th estate o th world were now undone. 50 Ring the alarum-bell!Blow, wind! Come, wrack! At least well die with harness on our back. | EBTHMCA If erouy ilngy, llI hang ouy vlaie mrof hte aeestrn eert ltinu oyu ied of uenhrg. If tawh uyo sya is retu, ouy anc do teh esma to me.
