Lady Macduff performs a speech from Act 4, Scene 2 of myShakespeare's Macbeth. 

Lady Macduff

                                         Whither should I fly?
I have done no harm. But I remember now
I am in this earthly world, where to do harm
Is often laudable, to do good sometime
Accounted dangerous folly. Why then, alas,
Do I put up that womanly defense,
To say I have done no harm?
