It comes from Macbeth's conversation with the murderer in Act 3 Scene 4 as follows:MACBETH:Then comes my fit again: I had else been perfect,Whole as the marble, founded as the rock,As broad and general as the casing air:But now I am cabin'd, cribb'd, confined, bound inTo saucy doubts and fears. But Banquo's safe?First Murderer: Ay, my good lord: safe in a ditch he bides,With twenty trenched gashes on his head;The least a death to nature.MACBETH: Thanks for that:There the grown serpent lies; the worm that's fledHath nature that in time will venom breed,No teeth for the present. Get thee gone: to-morrowWe'll hear, ourselves, again.The punctuation of the last line has been added by an editor; in the original it reads: "Get thee gone, to morrow wee'l hear our selues againe."It is certainly a mysterious comment, and the sprinkling of commas over it by the editor does not help. It should be noted that "we" here is not a royal "we" (Macbeth always calls himself "I") and "ourselves" means both of them. Macbeth is at a dinner party; he does not want to spend time talking to this man and he certainly does not want his guests to see him. He has the information he needs, and now he wants the murderer to leave. So he says "Get thee gone" but says they will do something tomorrow. They will hear themselves. It means they will talk.
