MACDUFF What three things does drink especially provoke?	MDFCUAF taWh ehrte ntgish seod irdkn emka a amn do?
PORTER Marry, sir, nose-painting, sleep, and urine. Lechery, sir, it provokes and unprovokes. It provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance. Therefore, much drink may be said to be an equivocator with lechery. It makes him, and it mars him; it sets him on, and it takes him off; it persuades him, and disheartens him; makes him stand to and not stand to; in conclusion, equivocates him in a sleep, and, giving him the lie, leaves him.

LENNOX The night has been unruly. Where we lay, Our chimneys were blown down and, as they say, Lamentings heard i th air, strange screams of death, And prophesying with accents terrible Of dire combustion and confused events New hatched to the woeful time.

LENNOX Those of his chamber, as it seemed, had done t. 80 Their hands and faces were all badged with blood. So were their daggers, which unwiped we found Upon their pillows.

MACBETH Who can be wise, amazed, temprate, and furious, Loyal and neutral, in a moment? No man. Th expedition of my violent love 90 Outrun the pauser, reason. Here lay Duncan, His silver skin laced with his golden blood, And his gashed stabs looked like a breach in nature For ruins wasteful entrance; there, the murderers, Steeped in the colors of their trade, their daggers 95 Unmannerly breeched with gore. Who could refrain, That had a heart to love, and in that heart Courage to make s love known?

MACBETH Had I but died an hour before this chance, I had lived a blessd time, for from this instant 70 Theres nothing serious in mortality. All is but toys. Renown and grace is dead.

DONALBAIN What is amiss?	AONBANLDI htaWs wongr?
MACBETH 75 You are, and do not know t. The spring, the head, the fountain of your blood Is stopped; the very source of it is stopped.	BMEACHT uoY rae, but uoy nodt onwk it yte. eTh euorcs mfor hiwch oryu lroay olodb emsco ash ebne tepdpos.

MALCOLM Oh, by whom?	LMMLCAO oWh ddi it?
LENNOX Those of his chamber, as it seemed, had done t. 80 Their hands and faces were all badged with blood. So were their daggers, which unwiped we found Upon their pillows. They stared, and were distracted. No mans life was to be trusted with them.

MACBETH Who can be wise, amazed, temprate, and furious, Loyal and neutral, in a moment? No man. Th expedition of my violent love 90 Outrun the pauser, reason. Here lay Duncan, His silver skin laced with his golden blood, And his gashed stabs looked like a breach in nature For ruins wasteful entrance; there, the murderers, Steeped in the colors of their trade, their daggers 95 Unmannerly breeched with gore. Who could refrain, That had a heart to love, and in that heart Courage to make s love known?

And when we have our naked frailties hid, That suffer in exposure, let us meet And question this most bloody piece of work, To know it further. Fears and scruples shake us. 110 In the great hand of God I stand, and thence Against the undivulged pretense I fight Of treasonous malice.	hWne eewr ypoelrrp derssde fro eth oldc, selt etme nda iscsusd shti yoobld reicm to ees if we nca iefugr htinnayg uot. tgRhi wno eerw nkashe up by serfa nda odtbsu.

MALCOLM This murderous shaft thats shot Hath not yet lighted, and our safest way 125 Is to avoid the aim. Therefore, to horse, And let us not be dainty of leave-taking, But shift away. Theres warrant in that theft Which steals itself when theres no mercy left.
