What is Lady Macbeth's prayer to the spirits after she learns Duncan is missing?

Answer 1

"Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts! Unsex me here, and fill me from the crown to the toe top full of direst cruelty! Make think my blood! Stop up the access and passage to remorse, that no compunctious visitings of nature shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between the effect and it! Come to my woman's breasts and take my milk for gall, you murdering ministers, wherever in your sightless substances you wait on nature's mischief! Come think night, and pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell, that my keen knife see not the wound it makes nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark, to cry "Hold! Hold!"

Answer 2

"Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts--unsex me here, and fill me from the crown to the toe top-full of direst cruelty. Make thick my blood; stop up the access and passage to remorse, that no compunctuous visitings of nature shake my fell purpose nor keep peace between the effect and it. Come to my woman's breasts and take my milk for gall, you murdering ministers! wherever in your sightless substances you wait on nature's mischief. Come, thick night, and pall thee in the dunnest smoke of Hell, that my keen knife see not the wound it makes, not Heaven peep through the blanket of the dark to cry 'Hold! Hold!'"

A scary lady indeed.

Answer 3

She makes the speech when she learns that Duncan is coming to her house, not when he is missing. The speech goes:"Come, you spirits
That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,
And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full
Of direst cruelty! make thick my blood;
Stop up the access and passage to remorse,
That no compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between
The effect and it! Come to my woman's breasts,
And take my milk for gall, you murdering ministers,
Wherever in your sightless substances
You wait on nature's mischief! Come, thick night,
And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell,
That my keen knife see not the wound it makes,
Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark,
To cry 'Hold, hold!'

Answer 4

She asks to be stripped of all womanhood, so she wouldn't have any feelings.
