Macbeth (Folio 1, 1623)
2435 Enter Macbeth.
2438Do better vpon them.
2439 Enter Macduffe.
2440Macd. Turne Hell-hound, turne.
2442But get thee backe, my soule is too much charg'd
2443With blood of thine already.
2444Macd. I haue no words,
2445My voice is in my Sword, thou bloodier Villaine
2446Then tearmes can giue thee out. Fight: Alarum
2449With thy keene Sword impresse, as make me bleed:
2450Let fall thy blade on vulnerable Crests,
2451I beare a charmed Life, which must not yeeld
2452To one of woman borne.
2455Tell thee, Macduffe was from his Mothers womb
2456Vntimely ript.
2458For it hath Cow'd my better part of man:
2459And be these Iugling Fiends no more beleeu'd,
2460That palter with vs in a double sence,
2461That keepe the word of promise to our eare,
2462And breake it to our hope. Ile not fight with thee.
2463Macd. Then yeeld thee Coward,
2464And liue to be the shew, and gaze o'th'time.
2465Wee'l haue thee, as our rarer Monsters are
2466Painted vpon a pole, and vnder-writ,
2467Heere may you see the Tyrant.
2468Macb. I will not yeeld
2469To kisse the ground before young Malcolmes feet,
2470And to be baited with the Rabbles curse.
2471Though Byrnane wood be come to Dunsinane,
2472And thou oppos'd, being of no woman borne,
2473Yet I will try the last. Before my body,
2474I throw my warlike Shield: Lay on Macduffe,
2477 Enter Fighting, and Macbeth slaine.
