First Murderer	But who did bid thee join with us?
Third Murderer	Macbeth.
Second Murderer	He needs not our mistrust, since he delivers
	Our offices and what we have to do
	To the direction just.
First Murderer	Then stand with us.
	The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day:
	Now spurs the lated traveller apace
	To gain the timely inn; and near approaches
	The subject of our watch.
Third Murderer	Hark! I hear horses.
BANQUO	[Within] Give us a light there, ho!
Second Murderer	Then 'tis he: the rest
	That are within the note of expectation	10
	Already are i' the court.
First Murderer	His horses go about.
Third Murderer	Almost a mile: but he does usually,
	So all men do, from hence to the palace gate
	Make it their walk.
Second Murderer	A light, a light!

Third Murderer	Tis he.
First Murderer	Stand to't.
BANQUO	It will be rain to–night.
First Murderer	Let it come down.
[They set upon BANQUO]
BANQUO	O, treachery! Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly!
	Thou mayst revenge. O slave!
[Dies. FLEANCE escapes]
Third Murderer	Who did strike out the light?
First Murderer	Wast not the way?
Third Murderer	There's but one down; the son is fled.
Second Murderer	We have lost
	Best half of our affair.	20
First Murderer	Well, let's away, and say how much is done.
[Exeunt]
