Actually, there is no Act V Scene 8 in the earliest version of the play we have--the First Folio of 1623. In that version the last scene of the play is Act V Scene 7, and it is the same in all the 17th century folios, as well as Davenant's Restoration adaptation. However, modern editors have chopped Act 5 into 8, 9, or as many as 11 different scenes. And the scene which is scene 8 does not always start with the same lines. However, the lines which start that part of scene 7 most often called scene 8 are:Macbeth: Why should I play the Roman fool and die
On mine own sword? whiles I see lives, the gashes
Do better upon them.
