2071But I must also feele it as a man;

2072I cannot but remember such things were

2073That were most precious to me: Did heauen looke on,

2074And would not take their part? Sinfull Macduff,

2075They were all strooke for thee: Naught that I am,

2076Not for their owne demerits, but for mine

2077Fell slaughter on their soules: Heauen rest them now.

2078Mal. Be this the Whetstone of your sword, let griefe

2079Conuert to anger: blunt not the heart, enrage it.

2080Macd. O I could play the woman with mine eyes,

2081And Braggart with my tongue. But gentle Heauens,

2082Cut short all intermission: Front to Front,

2083Bring thou this Fiend of Scotland, and my selfe

2084Within my Swords length set him, if he scape

2085Heauen forgiue him too.

2086Mal. This time goes manly:

2087Come go we to the King, our Power is ready,

2088Our lacke is nothing but our leaue. Macbeth

2089Is ripe for shaking, and the Powres aboue

2090Put on their Instruments: Receiue what cheere you may,

2091The Night is long, that neuer findes the Day. Exeunt

2095Doct. I haue too Nights watch'd with you, but can

2096perceiue no truth in your report. When was it shee last

2097walk'd?

2098Gent. Since his Maiesty went into the Field, I haue

2099seene her rise from her bed, throw her Night-Gown vp-

2100pon her, vnlocke her Closset, take foorth paper, folde it,

2101write vpon't, read it, afterwards Seale it, and againe re-

2102turne to bed; yet all this while in a most fast sleepe.

2103Doct. A great perturbation in Nature, to receyue at

2104once the benefit of sleep, and do the effects of watching.

2105In this slumbry agitation, besides her walking, and other

2106actuall performances, what (at any time) haue you heard

2107her say?

2108Gent. That Sir, which I will not report after her.

2109Doct. You may to me, and 'tis most meet you should.

2110Gent. Neither to you, nor any one, hauing no witnesse

2111to confirme my speech. Enter Lady, with a Taper.

2112Lo you, heere she comes: This is her very guise, and vp-

2113on my life fast asleepe: obserue her, stand close.

2114Doct. How came she by that light?

2115Gent. Why it stood by her: she ha's light by her con-

2116tinually, 'tis her command.

2117Doct. You see her eyes are open.

2118Gent. I but their sense are shut.

2119Doct. What is it she do's now?

2120Looke how she rubbes her hands.

2121Gent. It is an accustom'd action with her, to seeme

2122thus washing her hands: I haue knowne her continue in

2123this a quarter of an houre.

2124Lad. Yet heere's a spot.

2125Doct. Heark, she speaks, I will set downe what comes

2126from her, to satisfie my remembrance the more strongly.

2127La. Out damned spot: out I say. One: Two: Why

2128then 'tis time to doo't: Hell is murky. Fye, my Lord, fie,

2129a Souldier, and affear'd? what need we feare? who knowes

2130it, when none can call our powre to accompt: yet who

2131would haue thought the olde man to haue had so much

2132blood in him.

2133Doct. Do you marke that?

2134Lad. The Thane of Fife, had a wife: where is she now?

2135What will these hands ne're be cleane? No more o'that

2136my Lord, no more o'that: you marre all with this star-

2137ting.

2138Doct. Go too, go too:

2139You haue knowne what you should not.

2140Gent. She ha's spoke what shee should not, I am sure

2141of that: Heauen knowes what she ha's knowne.

2142La. Heere's the smell of the blood still: all the per-

2143fumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand.

2144Oh, oh, oh.

2145Doct. What a sigh is there? The hart is sorely charg'd.

2146Gent. I would not haue such a heart in my bosome,

2147for the dignity of the whole body.

2148Doct. Well, well, well.

2149Gent. Pray God it be sir.

2150Doct. This disease is beyond my practise: yet I haue

2151knowne those which haue walkt in their sleep, who haue

2152dyed holily in their beds.

2153Lad. Wash your hands, put on your Night-Gowne,

2154looke not so pale: I tell you yet againe Banquo's buried;

2155he cannot come out on's graue.

2156Doct. Euen so?

2157Lady. To bed, to bed: there's knocking at the gate:

2158Come, come, come, come, giue me your hand: What's

2159done, cannot be vndone. To bed, to bed, to bed.

2161Doct. Will she go now to bed?

2162Gent. Directly.

2163Doct. Foule whisp'rings are abroad: vnnaturall deeds

2164Do breed vnnaturall troubles: infected mindes

2165To their deafe pillowes will discharge their Secrets:

2166More needs she the Diuine, then the Physitian:

2167God, God forgiue vs all. Looke after her,

2168Remoue from her the meanes of all annoyance,

2169And still keepe eyes vpon her: So goodnight,

2170My minde she ha's mated, and amaz'd my sight.

2171I thinke, but dare not speake.

2172Gent. Good night good Doctor. Exeunt.

2176Ment. The English powre is neere, led on by Malcolm,

2177His Vnkle Seyward, and the good Macduff.

2178Reuenges burne in them: for their deere causes

2179Would to the bleeding, and the grim Alarme

2180Excite the mortified man.

2181Ang. Neere Byrnan wood

2182Shall we well meet them, that way are they comming.

2183Cath. Who knowes if Donalbane be with his brother?

2184Len. For certaine Sir, he is not: I haue a File

2185Of all the Gentry; there is Seywards Sonne,

2186And many vnruffe youths, that euen now

2187Protest their first of Manhood.

2188Ment. What do's the Tyrant.

2189Cath. Great Dunsinane he strongly Fortifies:

2190Some say hee's mad: Others, that lesser hate him,

2191Do call it valiant Fury, but for certaine
