Those of his chamber, as it seem'd, had done 't: Their hands and faces were an badged with blood; So were their daggers, which unwiped we found, They stared, and were distracted; no man's life. Be this the whetstone of your sword: let grief. I take my leave of you: Shall not be long but I'll be here again: Things at the worst will cease, or else climb upward. Then 'tis most like. Stop up the access and passage to remorse, Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between. MACBETH If you shall cleave to my consent, when 'tis, It shall make honour for you. Directed by Orson Welles. Throw physic to the dogs; I'll none of it. And shall continue our graces towards him. How you shall bid God 'ild us for your pains, In every point twice done and then done double, Against those honours deep and broad wherewith. And keep the natural ruby of your cheeks. Lo you, here she comes! Who chafes, who frets, or where conspirers are: Unfix his earth-bound root? As from your graves rise up, and walk like sprites. (Macbeth to lords) Macbeth adopts Lady Macbeth’s idea that the reason for his strange outbursts is a disease. Seyton! And dare me to the desert with thy sword; The baby of a girl. Hall in the palace. The witches dance and then vanish, with HECATE, Exit LADY MACDUFF, crying 'Murder!' What three things does drink especially provoke? Well; more anon.--Comes the king forth, I pray you? I look'd toward Birnam, and anon, methought. Strong both against the deed; then, as his host. I'll devil-porter, it no further: I had thought to have let in, some of all professions that go the primrose. Thou marvell'st at my words: but hold thee still; Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill. O, these flaws and starts, Impostors to true fear, would well become. Go get some water. Noble Banquo, That hast no less deserved, nor must be known, No less to have done so, let me enfold thee, Wanton in fulness, seek to hide themselves. Are not Those in commission yet return'd? It was the owl that shriek'd, the fatal bellman. Than wishest should be undone.' To fright you thus, methinks, I am too savage; Which is too nigh your person. You know your own degrees; sit down: at first, Our hostess keeps her state, but in best time. Thy bones are marrowless, thy blood is cold; Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear. That, when the brains were out, the man would die. Who's there, i' the name of, himself on the expectation of plenty: come in, name? And dare me to the desert with thy sword; The baby of a girl. the rump-fed ronyon cries. 'Twixt this and supper: go not my horse the better, In England and in Ireland, not confessing, Their cruel parricide, filling their hearers. The handle toward my hand? a soldier, and afeard? That, sir, which I will not report after her. Almost at odds with morning, which is which. Was once thought honest: you have loved him well. there's knocking at the gate: come, come, come, come, give me your hand. Doctor, the thanes fly from me. Nay, had I power, I should. My former speeches have but hit your thoughts. Let me know. BANQUO Very gladly. Almost at odds with morning, which is which. ne'er pull your hat upon your brows; Give sorrow words: the grief that does not speak. Ay, sir; there are a crew of wretched souls, That stay his cure: their malady convinces, The great assay of art; but at his touch--, Such sanctity hath heaven given his hand--. And make our faces vizards to our hearts. Please't your highness. Why do you make such faces? MACBETH Till then, enough. Come, love and health to all; Then I'll sit down. Within the volume of which time I have seen, Hours dreadful and things strange; but this sore night. And betimes I will, to the weird sisters: More shall they speak; for now I am bent to know. On which I must fall down, or else o'erleap. Why, it stood by her: she has light by her. for so thou art: behold, where stands. Make all our trumpets speak; give them all breath. Away, and mock the time with fairest show: False face must hide what the false heart doth know. Are hired to bear their staves: either thou, Macbeth. That would make good of bad, and friends of foes! Act 3, Scene 4 Macbeth is angered by news of Fleance's escape, has an unexpected dinner guest, and makes plans to visit the witches to learn more of the future. That my keen knife see not the wound it makes. did he not straight. Have banish'd me from Scotland. It is an accustomed action with her, to seem thus, washing her hands: I have known her continue in, Hark! Left alone, Macbeth begins to worry out loud about Banquo. Your son, my lord, has paid a soldier's debt: The which no sooner had his prowess confirm'd. No boasting like a fool; This deed I'll do before this purpose cool. Besides the thane of Cawdor. come, wrack! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage. If charnel-houses and our graves must send. And be these juggling fiends no more believed. Himself best knows: but strangely-visited people. He tells the ghost to leave. I'll see no more: And yet the eighth appears, who bears a glass. her, to satisfy my remembrance the more strongly. That they did wake each other: I stood and heard them: But they did say their prayers, and address'd them. So he hires the murders to do it. May read strange matters. Which gives the stern'st good-night. those linen cheeks of thine. What need we, fear who knows it, when none can call our power to, account?--Yet who would have thought the old man, The thane of Fife had a wife: where is she now?--, What, will these hands ne'er be clean?--No more o', that, my lord, no more o' that: you mar all with. BANQUO Worthy Macbeth, we stay upon your leisure. The way to dusty death. That were most precious to me. All Acts and scenes are listed on the Macbeth text page, or linked to from the bottom of this page.. ACT 3, SCENE 4. [Aside] Come what come may. Were the graced person of our Banquo present; Who may I rather challenge for unkindness, Lays blame upon his promise. This night's great business into my dispatch; Which shall to all our nights and days to come. Ere human statute purged the gentle weal; Ay, and since too, murders have been perform'd. Thoughts speculative their unsure hopes relate. Macbeth does murder sleep', the innocent sleep. To bed, to bed! The English power is near, led on by Malcolm, Revenges burn in them; for their dear causes. Would scour these English hence? Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools. By the worst means, the worst. Your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower, But be the serpent under't. So, good night: My mind she has mated, and amazed my sight. Hark! No, this my hand will rather. You wait on nature's mischief! Free from our feasts and banquets bloody knives. Banquo's son. man were porter of hell-gate, he should have, knock, knock! Forres. Why sinks that cauldron? Do you not hope your children shall be kings, When those that gave the thane of Cawdor to me. 'Tis two or three, my lord, that bring you word. To find the mind's construction in the face: To overtake thee. Whither are they vanish'd? Lest our old robes sit easier than our new! The temple-haunting martlet, does approve, By his loved mansionry, that the heaven's breath, Buttress, nor coign of vantage, but this bird. Is not thy master with him? That would be howl'd out in the desert air, But in it shares some woe; though the main part. And thy hair. or are you aught. Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury. Seyton, send out. (Macbeth to lords) Macbeth adopts Lady Macbeth's idea that the reason for his strange outbursts is a disease. Hid in an auger-hole, may rush, and seize us? To countenance this horror! Our bosom interest: go pronounce his present death. Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not. If he do bleed. Which should be thine or his: silenced with that. So well thy words become thee as thy wounds; They smack of honour both. On all deservers. Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course. When all's done. Whiles I threat, he lives: Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives. As she is troubled with thick coming fancies. We should have else desired your good advice. Come, sir, dispatch. My wife and children's ghosts will haunt me still. I am not to you known. Distinguishes the swift, the slow, the subtle, According to the gift which bounteous nature, Hath in him closed; whereby he does receive. She strike upon the bell. And braggart with my tongue! If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well, It were done quickly: if the assassination, Could trammel up the consequence, and catch, With his surcease success; that but this blow. Savagely slaughter'd: to relate the manner. I keep a servant fee'd. Is to avoid the aim. Comes toward Dunsinane. For mine own good. O, full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife! At the south entry: retire we to our chamber; Get on your nightgown, lest occasion call us. And to be baited with the rabble's curse. If charnel-houses and our graves must send. Might be the be-all and the end-all here. What you have spoke, it may be so perchance. Craving us jointly. That he seems rapt withal: to me you speak not. That it was he in the times past which held you, So under fortune, which you thought had been, Our innocent self: this I made good to you. O, these flaws and starts, Impostors to true fear, would well become. At once, good night: It will have blood; they say, blood will have blood: Stones have been known to move and trees to speak; By magot-pies and choughs and rooks brought forth. Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly! Thy crown does sear mine eye-balls. They say he parted well, and paid his score: And so, God be with him! But swords I smile at, weapons laugh to scorn. But wherefore could not I pronounce 'Amen'? And these are of them. Sleep that knits up the ravell'd sleeve of care. Blood hath been shed ere now, i' the olden time. True, worthy Banquo; he is full so valiant. You may to me: and 'tis most meet you should. Let's make us medicines of our great revenge, What, all my pretty chickens and their dam. Kind gentlemen, your pains. Give me some wine; fill full. SCENE IV. As the weird women promised, and, I fear, Thou play'dst most foully for't: yet it was said, But that myself should be the root and father, Of many kings. Macbeth, however, rejects suicide and decides to fight to the death. MACBETH Good repose the while! Is stopp'd; the very source of it is stopp'd. • Banquo’s change in language – “your highness”, “my good lord.” • Imperatives and interrogation. Fears and scruples shake us: In the great hand of God I stand; and thence. Since his majesty went into the field, I have seen, her rise from her bed, throw her night-gown upon. LADY MACBETH If he had been forgotten, It had been as a gap in our great feast, And all-thing unbecoming. And Duncan's horses--a thing most strange and certain--. (i, 48-71) Which would be worn now in their newest gloss. The heart is sorely charged. For in my way it lies. Lent us good Siward and ten thousand men; This comfort with the like! But to be safely thus.--Our fears in Banquo. Methought I heard a voice cry 'Sleep no more! But Banquo's safe? Your face, my thane, is as a book where men. Who was it that thus cried? My father is not dead, for all your saying. MACBETH [Aside] Come what come may, Time and the hour runs through the roughest day. Stands not within the prospect of belief, No more than to be Cawdor. And yet seem cold, the time you may so hoodwink. Is the initiate fear that wants hard use. But I have spoke, With one that saw him die: who did report. Till you return at night. And bid my will avouch it, yet I must not. To those that know me. And wash this filthy witness from your hand. After these ways; so, it will make us mad. Let not my jealousies be your dishonours. Do not muse at me, my most worthy friends, I have a strange infirmity which is nothing to those that know me. And betimes I will, to the weird sisters: More shall they speak; for now I am bent to know. 3) Banquo will never rule in Scotland, but he’ll father a line of future kings. Though in your state of honour I am perfect. The news of thy success; and when he reads. Strange things I have in head, that will to hand; Which must be acted ere they may be scann'd. So weary with disasters, tugg'd with fortune. Things that do sound so fair? Please, stay seated. Foul whisperings are abroad: unnatural deeds, Do breed unnatural troubles: infected minds. And wish the estate o' the world were now undone. Remove from her the means of all annoyance. As thick as hail, Came post with post; and every one did bear. The secret'st man of blood. But I have spoke With one that saw him die: who did report I pray you, remember the porter. Thou comest to use thy tongue; thy story quickly. Whom we, to gain our peace, have sent to peace. no more. Macduff, Thane of Fife. But certain issue strokes must arbitrate: Hang out our banners on the outward walls; The cry is still 'They come:' our castle's strength, Will laugh a siege to scorn: here let them lie. Poor birds they are not set for. Macbeth! The witches disappear. A great perturbation in nature, to receive at once, the benefit of sleep, and do the effects of, watching! Both more and less have given him the revolt, And none serve with him but constrained things. Who I myself struck down; and thence it is, Your spirits shine through you. Pour the sweet milk of concord into hell. He's here in double trust; First, as I am his kinsman and his subject. When first they put the name of king upon me, And bade them speak to him: then prophet-like. Desire his jewels and this other's house: To make me hunger more; that I should forge. And set me up in hope? To give thee from our royal master thanks; He bade me, from him, call thee thane of Cawdor: In which addition, hail, most worthy thane! But I have spoke With one that saw him die: who did report Point against point rebellious, arm 'gainst arm. But screw your courage to the sticking-place, And we'll not fail. Might have been mine! Till he unseam'd him from the nave to the chaps. Turn'd wild in nature, broke their stalls, flung out, Contending 'gainst obedience, as they would make, They did so, to the amazement of mine eyes. To make thee full of growing. What's. Would they had stay'd! Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires: The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be. Enter MACBETH, and a Servant with a torch, Sennet sounded. Take thee that too. Were, on the quarry of these murder'd deer.
