Our Offices, and what we haue to doe,
To the direction iust.
1. Then stand with vs:
The West yet glimmers with some streakes of Day.
1225Now spurres the lated Traueller apace,
To gayne the timely Inne, and neere approches
The subiect of our Watch.

Banquo within. Giue vs a Light there, hoa.

The rest, that are within the note of expectation,
Alreadie are i'th' Court.

1235So all men doe, from hence toth' Pallace Gate
Make it their Walke.

Flye good Fleans, flye, flye, flye,
1245Thou may'st reuenge. O Slaue!

2. We haue lost
1250Best halfe of our Affaire.
1. Well, let's away, and say how much is done.
Exeunt.
