Macduff

O horror, horror, horror! Tongue nor heart
Cannot conceive nor name thee.

What's the matter?

Macduff

Confusion now hath made his masterpiece.
Most sacrilegious murder hath broke ope
The Lord's anointed temple, and stole thence
The life o' the building.

Macbeth

What is 't you say, the life?

Lennox

                                               Mean you his majesty?

Approach the chamber, and destroy your sight
With a new Gorgon. Do not bid me speak;
See, and then speak yourselves.
