2194Ang. Now do's he feele
2196Now minutely Reuolts vpbraid his Faith-breach:
2197Those he commands, moue onely in command,
2198Nothing in loue: Now do's he feele his Title
2199Hang loose about him, like a Giants Robe

2216Till Byrnane wood remoue to Dunsinane,
2217I cannot taint with Feare. What's the Boy Malcolme?
2218Was he not borne of woman? The Spirits that know
2219All mortall Consequences, haue pronounc'd me thus:
2220Feare not Macbeth, no man that's borne of woman
2222And mingle with the English Epicures,
2223The minde I sway by, and the heart I beare,
2225 Enter Seruant.

2232Thou Lilly-liuer'd Boy. What Soldiers, Patch?
2233Death of thy Soule, those Linnen cheekes of thine
2234Are Counsailers to feare. What Soldiers Whay-face?
2238Will cheere me euer, or dis-eate me now.
2239I haue liu'd long enough: my way of life
2240Is falne into the Seare, the yellow Leafe,
2241And that which should accompany Old-Age,
2242As Honor, Loue, Obedience, Troopes of Friends,
2244Curses, not lowd but deepe, Mouth-honor, breath
2245Which the poore heart would faine deny, and dare not.
