Macbeth Seyton! — I am sick at heart When I behold — Seyton, I say! — This push Will cheer me ever, or dis-seat me now. I have lived long enough. My way of life Is fall'n into the sear, the yellow leaf; And that which should accompany old age, As honor, love, obedience, troops of friends, I must not look to have — but, in their stead: Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honor, breath Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not. ... Seyton! Read more about popup_note_index_item 606
Macduff Let us rather Hold fast the mortal sword, and like good men Bestride our down-fall'n birthdom. Each new morn New widows howl, new orphans cry, new sorrows Strike heaven on the face that it resounds As if it felt with Scotland and yelled out Like syllable of dolor.

Macduff I am not treacherous. Malcolm But Macbeth is. A good and virtuous nature may recoil In an imperial charge. But I shall crave your pardon; That which you are, my thoughts cannot transpose; Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell. Though all things foul would wear the brows of grace, Yet grace must still look so.

Macduff Bleed, bleed, poor country. Great tyranny, lay thou thy basis sure For goodness dare not cheque thee. Wear thou thy wrongs, The title is affeered. Fare thee well, lord. I would not be the villain that thou think'st For the whole space that's in the tyrant's grasp, And the rich East to boot.

Malcolm This tune goes manly. Come, go we to the king; our power is ready; Our lack is nothing but our leave. Macbeth Is ripe for shaking, and the powers above Put on their instruments. Receive what cheer you may; The night is long that never finds the day. [Exit] Read more about popup_note_index_item 604
Ross My dearest coz, I pray you, school yourself. But for your husband, He is noble, wise, judicious, and best knows The fits o' the season. I dare not speak much further; But cruel are the times when we are traitors And do not know ourselves; when we hold rumor From what we fear, yet know not what we fear; But float upon a wild and violent sea Each way and move. 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 To what they were before. [To Son] My pretty cousin, Blessing upon you.

Son Nay, how will you do for a husband? Lady Macduff Why, I can buy me twenty at any market. Son Then you'll buy 'em to sell again. Lady Macduff Thou speak'st with all thy wit, and yet, i' faith, With wit enough for thee. Read more about popup_note_index_item 597
