myShakespeare | Macbeth 2.2 Performance: Lady Macbeth, Lines 1-8

[Macbeth castle, near the bedrooms. Enter Lady Macbeth]

That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold;

What hath quenched them hath given me fire. Hark, peace.

It was the owl that shrieked, the fatal bellman,

Which gives the stern'st good-night. He is about it.

The doors are open and the surfeited grooms

Do mock their charge with snores. I have drugged their possets,

That death and nature do contend about them

Whether they live or die.
