1

I,1,1

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Thunder and lightning. Enter three Witches]

2

I,1,15

All. Fair is foul, and foul is fair:
Hover through the fog and filthy air.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

3

I,2,16

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Alarum within. Enter DUNCAN, MALCOLM, DONALBAIN,]
LENNOX, with Attendants, meeting a bleeding Sergeant]

4

I,2,68

Duncan. So well thy words become thee as thy wounds;
They smack of honour both. Go get him surgeons.
[Exit Sergeant, attended]
Who comes here?

(stage directions). [Enter ROSS]

5

I,2,96

Duncan. What he hath lost noble Macbeth hath won.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

6

I,3,97

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Thunder. Enter the three Witches]

7

I,3,128

First Witch. Here I have a pilot's thumb,
Wreck'd as homeward he did come.

(stage directions). [Drum within]

8

I,3,137

All. The weird sisters, hand in hand,
Posters of the sea and land,
Thus do go about, about:
Thrice to thine and thrice to mine
And thrice again, to make up nine.
Peace! the charm's wound up.

(stage directions). [Enter MACBETH and BANQUO]

9

I,3,180

Macbeth. Stay, you imperfect speakers, tell me more:
By Sinel's death I know I am thane of Glamis;
But how of Cawdor? the thane of Cawdor lives,
A prosperous gentleman; and to be king
Stands not within the prospect of belief,
No more than to be Cawdor. Say from whence
You owe this strange intelligence? or why
Upon this blasted heath you stop our way
With such prophetic greeting? Speak, I charge you.

(stage directions). [Witches vanish]

10

I,3,192

Banquo. To the selfsame tune and words. Who's here?

(stage directions). [Enter ROSS and ANGUS]

11

I,3,274

Macbeth. Till then, enough. Come, friends.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

12

I,4,275

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Flourish. Enter DUNCAN, MALCOLM, DONALBAIN, LENNOX, and Attendants]

13

I,4,337

Macbeth. [Aside] The Prince of Cumberland! that is a step
On which I must fall down, or else o'erleap,
For in my way it lies. Stars, hide your fires;
Let not light see my black and deep desires:
The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be,
Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see.

(stage directions). [Exit]

14

I,4,343

Duncan. True, worthy Banquo; he is full so valiant,
And in his commendations I am fed;
It is a banquet to me. Let's after him,
Whose care is gone before to bid us welcome:
It is a peerless kinsman.

(stage directions). [Flourish. Exeunt]

15

I,5,344

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter LADY MACBETH, reading a letter]

16

I,5,430

Lady Macbeth. Only look up clear;
To alter favour ever is to fear:
Leave all the rest to me.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

17

I,6,431

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Hautboys and torches. Enter DUNCAN, MALCOLM,]
DONALBAIN, BANQUO, LENNOX, MACDUFF, ROSS, ANGUS, and Attendants]

18

I,6,444

Banquo. This guest of summer,
The temple-haunting martlet, does approve,
By his loved mansionry, that the heaven's breath
Smells wooingly here: no jutty, frieze,
Buttress, nor coign of vantage, but this bird
Hath made his pendent bed and procreant cradle:
Where they most breed and haunt, I have observed,
The air is delicate.

(stage directions). [Enter LADY MACBETH]

19

I,6,471

Duncan. Give me your hand;
Conduct me to mine host: we love him highly,
And shall continue our graces towards him.
By your leave, hostess.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

20

I,7,472

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Hautboys and torches. Enter a Sewer, and divers]
Servants with dishes and service, and pass over the stage. Then enter MACBETH]

21

I,7,567

Macbeth. I am settled, and bend up
Each corporal agent to this terrible feat.
Away, and mock the time with fairest show:
False face must hide what the false heart doth know.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

22

II,1,568

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter BANQUO, and FLEANCE bearing a torch before him]

23

II,1,608

Banquo. Thanks, sir: the like to you!

(stage directions). [Exeunt BANQUO and FLEANCE]

24

II,1,645

Macbeth. Go bid thy mistress, when my drink is ready,
She strike upon the bell. Get thee to bed.
[Exit Servant]
Is this a dagger which I see before me,
The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.
Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible
To feeling as to sight? or art thou but
A dagger of the mind, a false creation,
Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
I see thee yet, in form as palpable
As this which now I draw.
Thou marshall'st me the way that I was going;
And such an instrument I was to use.
Mine eyes are made the fools o' the other senses,
Or else worth all the rest; I see thee still,
And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood,
Which was not so before. There's no such thing:
It is the bloody business which informs
Thus to mine eyes. Now o'er the one halfworld
Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse
The curtain'd sleep; witchcraft celebrates
Pale Hecate's offerings, and wither'd murder,
Alarum'd by his sentinel, the wolf,
Whose howl's his watch, thus with his stealthy pace.
With Tarquin's ravishing strides, towards his design
Moves like a ghost. Thou sure and firm-set earth,
Hear not my steps, which way they walk, for fear
Thy very stones prate of my whereabout,
And take the present horror from the time,
Which now suits with it. Whiles I threat, he lives:
Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives.
[A bell rings]
I go, and it is done; the bell invites me.
Hear it not, Duncan; for it is a knell
That summons thee to heaven or to hell.

(stage directions). [Exit]

25

II,2,646

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter LADY MACBETH]

26

II,2,676

Macbeth. This is a sorry sight.

(stage directions). [Looking on his hands]

27

II,2,720

Lady Macbeth. Infirm of purpose!
Give me the daggers: the sleeping and the dead
Are but as pictures: 'tis the eye of childhood
That fears a painted devil. If he do bleed,
I'll gild the faces of the grooms withal;
For it must seem their guilt.

(stage directions). [Exit. Knocking within]

28

II,2,728

Macbeth. Whence is that knocking?
How is't with me, when every noise appals me?
What hands are here? ha! they pluck out mine eyes.
Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood
Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather
The multitudinous seas in incarnadine,
Making the green one red.

(stage directions). [Re-enter LADY MACBETH]

29

II,2,745

Macbeth. To know my deed, 'twere best not know myself.
[Knocking within]
Wake Duncan with thy knocking! I would thou couldst!

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

30

II,3,746

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Knocking within. Enter a Porter]

31

II,3,780

Porter. Here's a knocking indeed! If a
man were porter of hell-gate, he should have
old turning the key.
[Knocking within]
Knock,
knock, knock! Who's there, i' the name of
Beelzebub? Here's a farmer, that hanged
himself on the expectation of plenty: come in
time; have napkins enow about you; here
you'll sweat for't.
[Knocking within]
Knock,
knock! Who's there, in the other devil's
name? Faith, here's an equivocator, that could
swear in both the scales against either scale;
who committed treason enough for God's sake,
yet could not equivocate to heaven: O, come
in, equivocator.
[Knocking within]
Knock,
knock, knock! Who's there? Faith, here's an
English tailor come hither, for stealing out of
a French hose: come in, tailor; here you may
roast your goose.
[Knocking within]
Knock,
knock; never at quiet! What are you? But
this place is too cold for hell. I'll devil-porter
it no further: I had thought to have let in
some of all professions that go the primrose
way to the everlasting bonfire.
[Knocking within]
Anon, anon! I pray you, remember the porter.

(stage directions). [Opens the gate]

32

II,3,781

(stage directions). [Opens the gate]

(stage directions). [Enter MACDUFF and LENNOX]

33

II,3,820

Macduff. I'll make so bold to call,
For 'tis my limited service.

(stage directions). [Exit]

34

II,3,834

Lennox. My young remembrance cannot parallel
A fellow to it.

(stage directions). [Re-enter MACDUFF]

35

II,3,856

Macduff. Approach the chamber, and destroy your sight
With a new Gorgon: do not bid me speak;
See, and then speak yourselves.
[Exeunt MACBETH and LENNOX]
Awake, awake!
Ring the alarum-bell. Murder and treason!
Banquo and Donalbain! Malcolm! awake!
Shake off this downy sleep, death's counterfeit,
And look on death itself! up, up, and see
The great doom's image! Malcolm! Banquo!
As from your graves rise up, and walk like sprites,
To countenance this horror! Ring the bell.

(stage directions). [Bell rings]

36

II,3,857

(stage directions). [Bell rings]

(stage directions). [Enter LADY MACBETH]

37

II,3,873

Banquo. Too cruel any where.
Dear Duff, I prithee, contradict thyself,
And say it is not so.

(stage directions). [Re-enter MACBETH and LENNOX, with ROSS]

38

II,3,880

Macbeth. Had I but died an hour before this chance,
I had lived a blessed time; for, from this instant,
There 's nothing serious in mortality:
All is but toys: renown and grace is dead;
The wine of life is drawn, and the mere lees
Is left this vault to brag of.

(stage directions). [Enter MALCOLM and DONALBAIN]

39

II,3,932

All. Well contented.

(stage directions). [Exeunt all but Malcolm and Donalbain.]

40

II,3,946

Malcolm. This murderous shaft that's shot
Hath not yet lighted, and our safest way
Is to avoid the aim. Therefore, to horse;
And let us not be dainty of leave-taking,
But shift away: there's warrant in that theft
Which steals itself, when there's no mercy left.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

41

II,4,947

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter ROSS and an old Man]

42

II,4,1000

Old Man. God's benison go with you; and with those
That would make good of bad, and friends of foes!

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

43

III,1,1001

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter BANQUO]

44

III,1,1166

Macbeth. I'll call upon you straight: abide within.
[Exeunt Murderers]
It is concluded. Banquo, thy soul's flight,
If it find heaven, must find it out to-night.

(stage directions). [Exit]

45

III,2,1167

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter LADY MACBETH and a Servant]

46

III,2,1173

Servant. Madam, I will.

(stage directions). [Exit]

47

III,2,1232

Macbeth. Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck,
Till thou applaud the deed. Come, seeling night,
Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day;
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 the rooky wood:
Good things of day begin to droop and drowse;
While night's black agents to their preys do rouse.
Thou marvell'st at my words: but hold thee still;
Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill.
So, prithee, go with me.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

48

III,3,1233

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter three Murderers]

49

III,3,1254

Second Murderer. A light, a light!

(stage directions). [Enter BANQUO, and FLEANCE with a torch]

50

III,3,1259

First Murderer. Let it come down.

(stage directions). [They set upon BANQUO]

51

III,3,1262

Banquo. O, treachery! Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly!
Thou mayst revenge. O slave!

(stage directions). [Dies. FLEANCE escapes]

52

III,3,1269

First Murderer. Well, let's away, and say how much is done.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

53

III,4,1270

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [A banquet prepared. Enter MACBETH, LADY MACBETH,]
ROSS, LENNOX, Lords, and Attendants]

54

III,4,1281

Lady Macbeth. Pronounce it for me, sir, to all our friends;
For my heart speaks they are welcome.

(stage directions). [First Murderer appears at the door]

55

III,4,1310

Macbeth. Thanks for that:
There the grown serpent lies; the worm that's fled
Hath nature that in time will venom breed,
No teeth for the present. Get thee gone: to-morrow
We'll hear, ourselves, again.

(stage directions). [Exit Murderer]

56

III,4,1362

Macbeth. Prithee, see there! behold! look! lo!
how say you?
Why, what care I? If thou canst nod, speak too.
If charnel-houses and our graves must send
Those that we bury back, our monuments
Shall be the maws of kites.

(stage directions). [GHOST OF BANQUO vanishes]

57

III,4,1387

Lords. Our duties, and the pledge.

(stage directions). [Re-enter GHOST OF BANQUO]

58

III,4,1424

Lady Macbeth. A kind good night to all!

(stage directions). [Exeunt all but MACBETH and LADY MACBETH]

59

III,4,1449

Macbeth. Come, we'll to sleep. My strange and self-abuse
Is the initiate fear that wants hard use:
We are yet but young in deed.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

60

III,5,1450

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Thunder. Enter the three Witches meeting HECATE]

61

III,5,1487

Hecate. Have I not reason, beldams as you are,
Saucy and overbold? How did you dare
To trade and traffic with Macbeth
In riddles and affairs of death;
And I, the mistress of your charms,
The close contriver of all harms,
Was never call'd to bear my part,
Or show the glory of our art?
And, which is worse, all you have done
Hath been but for a wayward son,
Spiteful and wrathful, who, as others do,
Loves for his own ends, not for you.
But make amends now: get you gone,
And at the pit of Acheron
Meet me i' the morning: thither he
Will come to know his destiny:
Your vessels and your spells provide,
Your charms and every thing beside.
I am for the air; this night I'll spend
Unto a dismal and a fatal end:
Great business must be wrought ere noon:
Upon the corner of the moon
There hangs a vaporous drop profound;
I'll catch it ere it come to ground:
And that distill'd by magic sleights
Shall raise such artificial sprites
As by the strength of their illusion
Shall draw him on to his confusion:
He shall spurn fate, scorn death, and bear
He hopes 'bove wisdom, grace and fear:
And you all know, security
Is mortals' chiefest enemy.
[Music and a song within: 'Come away, come away,' &c]
Hark! I am call'd; my little spirit, see,
Sits in a foggy cloud, and stays for me.

(stage directions). [Exit]

62

III,5,1489

First Witch. Come, let's make haste; she'll soon be back again.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

63

III,6,1490

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter LENNOX and another Lord]

64

III,6,1546

Lord. I'll send my prayers with him.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

65

IV,1,1547

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Thunder. Enter the three Witches]

66

IV,1,1586

Second Witch. Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.

(stage directions). [Enter HECATE to the other three Witches]

67

IV,1,1592

Hecate. O well done! I commend your pains;
And every one shall share i' the gains;
And now about the cauldron sing,
Live elves and fairies in a ring,
Enchanting all that you put in.

(stage directions). [Music and a song: 'Black spirits,' &c]

68

IV,1,1593

(stage directions). [Music and a song: 'Black spirits,' &c]

(stage directions). [HECATE retires]

69

IV,1,1598

Second Witch. By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes.
Open, locks,
Whoever knocks!

(stage directions). [Enter MACBETH]

70

IV,1,1626

All. Come, high or low;
Thyself and office deftly show!

(stage directions). [Thunder. First Apparition: an armed Head]

71

IV,1,1632

First Apparition. Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! beware Macduff;
Beware the thane of Fife. Dismiss me. Enough.

(stage directions). [Descends]

72

IV,1,1638

First Witch. He will not be commanded: here's another,
More potent than the first.

(stage directions). [Thunder. Second Apparition: A bloody Child]

73

IV,1,1644

Second Apparition. Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn
The power of man, for none of woman born
Shall harm Macbeth.

(stage directions). [Descends]

74

IV,1,1661

Third Apparition. Be lion-mettled, proud; and take no care
Who chafes, who frets, or where conspirers are:
Macbeth shall never vanquish'd be until
Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill
Shall come against him.

(stage directions). [Descends]

75

IV,1,1676

Macbeth. I will be satisfied: deny me this,
And an eternal curse fall on you! Let me know.
Why sinks that cauldron? and what noise is this?

(stage directions). [Hautboys]

76

IV,1,1707

First Witch. Ay, sir, all this is so: but why
Stands Macbeth thus amazedly?
Come, sisters, cheer we up his sprites,
And show the best of our delights:
I'll charm the air to give a sound,
While you perform your antic round:
That this great king may kindly say,
Our duties did his welcome pay.

(stage directions). [Music. The witches dance and then vanish, with HECATE]

77

IV,1,1711

Macbeth. Where are they? Gone? Let this pernicious hour
Stand aye accursed in the calendar!
Come in, without there!

(stage directions). [Enter LENNOX]

78

IV,1,1737

Macbeth. Time, thou anticipatest my dread exploits:
The flighty purpose never is o'ertook
Unless the deed go with it; from this moment
The very firstlings of my heart shall be
The firstlings of my hand. And even now,
To crown my thoughts with acts, be it thought and done:
The castle of Macduff I will surprise;
Seize upon Fife; give to the edge o' the sword
His wife, his babes, and all unfortunate souls
That trace him in his line. No boasting like a fool;
This deed I'll do before this purpose cool.
But no more sights!—Where are these gentlemen?
Come, bring me where they are.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

79

IV,2,1738

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter LADY MACDUFF, her Son, and ROSS]

80

IV,2,1773

Ross. I am so much a fool, should I stay longer,
It would be my disgrace and your discomfort:
I take my leave at once.

(stage directions). [Exit]

81

IV,2,1808

Lady Macduff. Poor prattler, how thou talk'st!

(stage directions). [Enter a Messenger]

82

IV,2,1818

Messenger. Bless you, fair dame! I am not to you known,
Though in your state of honour I am perfect.
I doubt some danger does approach you nearly:
If you will take a homely man's advice,
Be not found here; hence, with your little ones.
To fright you thus, methinks, I am too savage;
To do worse to you were fell cruelty,
Which is too nigh your person. Heaven preserve you!
I dare abide no longer.

(stage directions). [Exit]

83

IV,3,1841

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter MALCOLM and MACDUFF]

84

IV,3,1999

Macduff. Such welcome and unwelcome things at once
'Tis hard to reconcile.

(stage directions). [Enter a Doctor]

85

IV,3,2007

Malcolm. I thank you, doctor.

(stage directions). [Exit Doctor]

86

IV,3,2023

Malcolm. 'Tis call'd the evil:
A most miraculous work in this good king;
Which often, since my here-remain in England,
I have seen him do. How he solicits heaven,
Himself best knows: but strangely-visited people,
All swoln and ulcerous, pitiful to the eye,
The mere despair of surgery, he cures,
Hanging a golden stamp about their necks,
Put on with holy prayers: and 'tis spoken,
To the succeeding royalty he leaves
The healing benediction. With this strange virtue,
He hath a heavenly gift of prophecy,
And sundry blessings hang about his throne,
That speak him full of grace.

(stage directions). [Enter ROSS]

87

IV,3,2126

Malcolm. This tune goes manly.
Come, go we to the king; our power is ready;
Our lack is nothing but our leave; Macbeth
Is ripe for shaking, and the powers above
Put on their instruments. Receive what cheer you may:
The night is long that never finds the day.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

88

V,1,2127

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter a Doctor of Physic and a Waiting-Gentlewoman]

89

V,1,2191

Lady Macbeth. To bed, to bed! there's knocking at the gate:
come, come, come, come, give me your hand. What's
done cannot be undone.—To bed, to bed, to bed!

(stage directions). [Exit]

90

V,1,2204

Gentlewoman. Good night, good doctor.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

91

V,2,2205

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Drum and colours. Enter MENTEITH, CAITHNESS, ANGUS,]
LENNOX, and Soldiers]

92

V,2,2244

Lennox. Or so much as it needs,
To dew the sovereign flower and drown the weeds.
Make we our march towards Birnam.

(stage directions). [Exeunt, marching]

93

V,3,2245

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter MACBETH, Doctor, and Attendants]

94

V,3,2280

Macbeth. Take thy face hence.
[Exit Servant]
Seyton!—I am sick at heart,
When I behold—Seyton, I say!—This push
Will cheer me ever, or disseat me now.
I have lived long enough: my way of life
Is fall'n into the sear, the yellow leaf;
And that which should accompany old age,
As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends,
I must not look to have; but, in their stead,
Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath,
Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not. Seyton!

(stage directions). [Enter SEYTON]

95

V,3,2320

Doctor. [Aside] Were I from Dunsinane away and clear,
Profit again should hardly draw me here.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

96

V,4,2321

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Drum and colours. Enter MALCOLM, SIWARD and YOUNG]
SIWARD, MACDUFF, MENTEITH, CAITHNESS, ANGUS,
LENNOX, ROSS, and Soldiers, marching]

97

V,4,2351

Siward. The time approaches
That will with due decision make us know
What we shall say we have and what we owe.
Thoughts speculative their unsure hopes relate,
But certain issue strokes must arbitrate:
Towards which advance the war.

(stage directions). [Exeunt, marching]

98

V,5,2352

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter MACBETH, SEYTON, and Soldiers, with drum and colours]

99

V,5,2363

Seyton. It is the cry of women, my good lord.

(stage directions). [Exit]

100

V,5,2414

Macbeth. If thou speak'st false,
Upon the next tree shalt thou hang alive,
Till famine cling thee: if thy speech be sooth,
I care not if thou dost for me as much.
I pull in resolution, and begin
To doubt the equivocation of the fiend
That lies like truth: 'Fear not, till Birnam wood
Do come to Dunsinane:' and now a wood
Comes toward Dunsinane. Arm, arm, and out!
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 the estate o' the world were now undone.
Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack!
At least we'll die with harness on our back.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

101

V,6,2415

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Drum and colours. Enter MALCOLM, SIWARD, MACDUFF,]
and their Army, with boughs]

102

V,6,2428

Macduff. Make all our trumpets speak; give them all breath,
Those clamorous harbingers of blood and death.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

103

V,7,2429

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Alarums. Enter MACBETH]

104

V,7,2434

Macbeth. They have tied me to a stake; I cannot fly,
But, bear-like, I must fight the course. What's he
That was not born of woman? Such a one
Am I to fear, or none.

(stage directions). [Enter YOUNG SIWARD]

105

V,7,2445

Young Siward. Thou liest, abhorred tyrant; with my sword
I'll prove the lie thou speak'st.

(stage directions). [They fight and YOUNG SIWARD is slain]

106

V,7,2449

Macbeth. Thou wast born of woman
But swords I smile at, weapons laugh to scorn,
Brandish'd by man that's of a woman born.

(stage directions). [Exit]

107

V,7,2450

(stage directions). [Exit]

(stage directions). [Alarums. Enter MACDUFF]

108

V,7,2461

Macduff. That way the noise is. Tyrant, show thy face!
If thou be'st slain and with no stroke of mine,
My wife and children's ghosts will haunt me still.
I cannot strike at wretched kerns, whose arms
Are hired to bear their staves: either thou, Macbeth,
Or else my sword with an unbatter'd edge
I sheathe again undeeded. There thou shouldst be;
By this great clatter, one of greatest note
Seems bruited. Let me find him, fortune!
And more I beg not.

V,8,2476

Macbeth. Why should I play the Roman fool, and die
On mine own sword? whiles I see lives, the gashes
Do better upon them.

(stage directions). [Enter MACDUFF]

113

V,8,2484

Macduff. I have no words:
My voice is in my sword: thou bloodier villain
Than terms can give thee out!

Siward. He's worth no more
They say he parted well, and paid his score:
And so, God be with him! Here comes newer comfort.

V,8,2566

Malcolm. We shall not spend a large expense of time
Before we reckon with your several loves,
And make us even with you. My thanes and kinsmen,
Henceforth be earls, the first that ever Scotland
In such an honour named. What's more to do,
Which would be planted newly with the time,
As calling home our exiled friends abroad
That fled the snares of watchful tyranny;
Producing forth the cruel ministers
Of this dead butcher and his fiend-like queen,
Who, as 'tis thought, by self and violent hands
Took off her life; this, and what needful else
That calls upon us, by the grace of Grace,
We will perform in measure, time and place:
So, thanks to all at once and to each one,
Whom we invite to see us crown'd at Scone.
