Macbeth (Folio 1, 1623)
144 The Tragedie of Macbeth.
1556Nose of Turke, and Tartars lips:
1557Finger of Birth-strangled Babe,
1558Ditch-deliuer'd by a Drab,
1559Make the Grewell thicke, and slab.
1560Adde thereto a Tigers Chawdron,
1561For th'Ingredience of our Cawdron.
1562All. Double, double, toyle and trouble,
1563Fire burne, and Cauldron bubble.
15642 Coole it with a Baboones blood,
1565Then the Charme is firme and good.
1566 Enter Hecat, and the other three Witches.
1567Hec. O well done: I commend your paines,
1569And now about the Cauldron sing
1570Like Elues and Fairies in a Ring,
1571Inchanting all that you put in.
1572 Musicke and a Song. Blacke Spirits, &c.
15732 By the pricking of my Thumbes,
1574Something wicked this way comes:
1575Open Lockes, who euer knockes.
1576 Enter Macbeth.
1578What is't you do?
1579All. A deed without a name.
1581(How ere you come to know it) answer me:
1582Though you vntye the Windes, and let them fight
1584Confound and swallow Nauigation vp:
1585Though bladed Corne be lodg'd, & Trees blown downe,
1586Though Castles topple on their Warders heads:
1587Though Pallaces, and Pyramids do slope
1588Their heads to their Foundations: Though the treasure
1589Of Natures Germaine, tumble altogether,
1591To what I aske you.
15921 Speake.
15932 Demand.
1596Or from our Masters.
15981 Powre in Sowes blood, that hath eaten
1599Her nine Farrow: Greaze that's sweaten
1600From the Murderers Gibbet, throw
1601Into the Flame.
1602All. Come high or low:
16041. Apparation,an Armed Head.
1605Macb. Tell me, thou vnknowne power.
16061 He knowes thy thought:
16081 Appar. Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth:
1609Beware Macduffe,
1611 He Descends.
1612Macb. What ere thou art, for thy good caution, thanks
1613Thou hast harp'd my feare aright. But one word more.
16141 He will not be commanded: heere's another
16162 Apparition, a Bloody Childe.
16172 Appar. Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth.
1618Macb. Had I three eares, Il'd heare thee.
1620Laugh to scorne
1621The powre of man: For none of woman borne
1622Shall harme Macbeth. Descends.
1625And take a Bond of Fate: thou shalt not liue,
1626That I may tell pale-hearted Feare, it lies;
16283 Apparation, a Childe Crowned, with a Tree in his hand.
1630And weares vpon his Baby-brow, the round
1631And top of Soueraignty?
16333 Appar. Be Lyon metled, proud, and take no care:
1634Who chafes, who frets, or where Conspirers are:
1636Great Byrnam Wood, to high Dunsmane Hill
1638Macb. That will neuer bee:
1640Vnfixe his earth-bound Root? Sweet boadments, good:
1641Rebellious dead, rise neuer till the Wood
1642Of Byrnan rise, and our high plac'd Macbeth
1643Shall liue the Lease of Nature, pay his breath
1644To time, and mortall Custome. Yet my Hart
1645Throbs to know one thing: Tell me, if your Art
1647Reigne in this Kingdome?
1648All. Seeke to know no more.
1650And an eternall Curse fall on you: Let me know.
16521 Shew.
16532 Shew.
16543 Shew.
1655All. Shew his Eyes, and greeue his Hart,
1657 A shew of eight Kings, and Banquo last, with a glasse
1658in his hand.
1659Macb. Thou art too like the Spirit of Banquo: Down:
1660Thy Crowne do's seare mine Eye-bals. And thy haire
1662A third, is like the former. Filthy Hagges,
1663Why do you shew me this? --- A fourth? Start eyes!
1664What will the Line stretch out to'th'cracke of Doome?
1666And yet the eight appeares, who beares a glasse,
1668That two-fold Balles, and trebble Scepters carry.
1670For the Blood-bolter'd Banquo smiles vpon me,
1671And points at them for his. What? is this so?
1673Stands Macbeth thus amazedly?
1676Ile Charme the Ayre to giue a sound,
1677While you performe your Antique round:
1678That this great King may kindly say,
1679Our duties, did his welcome pay. Musicke.
1680 The Witches Dance, and vanish.
1681Macb. Where are they? Gone?
1682Let this pernitious houre,
1683Stand aye accursed in the Kalender.
1684Come in, without there. Enter Lenox.
1685Lenox. What's your Graces will.
Macb.
