136 The Tragedie of Macbeth.
579A heauie Summons lyes like Lead vpon me,
580And yet I would not sleepe:
582That Nature giues way to in repose.
583 Enter Macbeth, and a Seruant with a Torch.
584Giue me my Sword: who's there?
585Macb. A Friend.
589This Diamond he greetes your Wife withall,

637Heare not my steps, which they may walke, for feare
638Thy very stones prate of my where-about,
639And take the present horror from the time,
640Which now sutes with it. Whiles I threat, he liues:
641Words to the heat of deedes too cold breath giues.
642 A Bell rings.
