LADY MACBETH O proper stuff! This is the very painting of your fear. 65 This is the air-drawn dagger which you said Led you to Duncan. Oh, these flaws and starts, Impostors to true fear, would well become A womans story at a winters fire, Authorized by her grandam. Shame itself! 70 Why do you make such faces?

MACBETH Blood hath been shed ere now, i th olden time, Ere humane statute purged the gentle weal; 80 Ay, and since too, murders have been performed Too terrible for the ear. The time has been That, when the brains were out, the man would die, And there an end. But now they rise again With twenty mortal murders on their crowns 85 And push us from our stools. This is more strange Than such a murder is.

Or be alive again, And dare me to the desert with thy sword. If trembling I inhabit then, protest me 110 The baby of a girl. Hence, horrible shadow! Unreal mockery, hence!

MACBETH Can such things be, 115 And overcome us like a summers cloud, Without our special wonder? You make me strange Even to the disposition that I owe, When now I think you can behold such sights, And keep the natural ruby of your cheeks, 120 When mine is blanched with fear.

I will tomorrow And betimes I willto the weird sisters. 140 More shall they speak, for now I am bent to know, By the worst means, the worst. For mine own good, All causes shall give way. I am in blood Stepped in so far that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go oer. 145 Strange things I have in head, that will to hand, Which must be acted ere they may be scanned.
