1 My former speeches have but hit your thoughts,
2 Which can interpret further: only, I say,
3 Things have been strangely borne. The gracious Duncan
4 Was pitied of Macbeth; marry, he was dead.
5 And the right-valiant Banquo walk'd too late,
6 Whom, you may say, if't please you, Fleance kill'd,
7 For Fleance fled. Men must not walk too late.
8 Who cannot want the thought how monstrous
9 It was for Malcolm and for Donalbain
10 To kill their gracious father? damned fact!
11 How it did grieve Macbeth! did he not straight
12 In pious rage the two delinquents tear,
13 That were the slaves of drink and thralls of sleep?
14 Was not that nobly done? Ay, and wisely too;
15 For 'twould have anger'd any heart alive
16 To hear the men deny't. So that, I say,
17 He has borne all things well: and I do think
18 That had he Duncan's sons under his key-
19 As, an't please heaven, he shall not-they should find
20 What 'twere to kill a father; so should Fleance.
21 But, peace! for from broad words and 'cause he fail'd
22 His presence at the tyrant's feast, I hear
23 Macduff lives in disgrace: sir, can you tell
24 Where he bestows himself?
Lord
The son of Duncan,
25 From whom this tyrant holds the due of birth
26 Lives in the English court, and is received
27 Of the most pious Edward with such grace
28 That the malevolence of fortune nothing
29 Takes from his high respect. Thither Macduff
30 Is gone to pray the holy king, upon his aid
31 To wake Northumberland and warlike Siward,
32 That, by the help of these-with Him above
33 To ratify the work-we may again
34 Give to our tables meat, sleep to our nights,
35 Free from our feasts and banquets bloody knives,
36 Do faithful homage and receive free honours:
37 All which we pine for now. And this report
38 Hath so exasperate the king that he
39 Prepares for some attempt of war.
LENNOX
Sent he to Macduff?
Lord
40 He did; and with an absolute "Sir, not I,"
41 The cloudy messenger turns me his back,
42 And hums, as who should say "You'll rue the time
43 That clogs me with this answer."
LENNOX
And that well might
44 Advise him to a caution, to hold what distance
45 His wisdom can provide. Some holy angel
46 Fly to the court of England and unfold
47 His message ere he come, that a swift blessing
48 May soon return to this our suffering country
49 Under a hand accursed!
Lord
I'll send my prayers with him.
