ACT 1, SCENE 2<\/b>
Setting: A camp near Forres.<\/i><\/p>\n

[ Alarum within. Enter DUNCAN, MALCOLM, DONALBAIN, LENNOX, with Attendants, meeting a bleeding Sergeant ]<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
DUNCAN<\/td>\nWhat bloody man is that? He can report,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAs seemeth by his plight, of the revolt<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe newest state.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MALCOLM<\/td>\nThis is the sergeant<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWho like a good and hardy soldier fought<\/td>\n5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nGainst my captivity. Hail, brave friend!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSay to the king the knowledge of the broil<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAs thou didst leave it.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Sergeant<\/td>\nDoubtful it stood;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAs two spent swimmers, that do cling together<\/td>\n10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd choke their art. The merciless Macdonwald––<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWorthy to be a rebel, for to that<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe multiplying villanies of nature<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nDo swarm upon him––from the Western Isles<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOf kerns and gallowglasses is supplied;<\/td>\n15<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd fortune, on his damned quarrel smiling,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nShow'd like a rebel's whore: but all's too weak:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFor brave Macbeth––well he deserves that name––<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nDisdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhich smoked with bloody execution,<\/td>\n20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nLike valour's minion carved out his passage<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTill he faced the slave;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhich ne'er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTill he unseam'd him from the nave to the chaps,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd fix'd his head upon our battlements.<\/td>\n25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
DUNCAN<\/td>\nO valiant cousin! worthy gentleman!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Sergeant<\/td>\nAs whence the sun 'gins his reflection<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nShipwrecking storms and direful thunders break,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSo from that spring whence comfort seem'd to come<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nDiscomfort swells. Mark, king of Scotland, mark:<\/td>\n30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nNo sooner justice had with valour arm'd<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCompell'd these skipping kerns to trust their heels,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut the Norweyan lord surveying vantage,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWith furbish'd arms and new supplies of men<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBegan a fresh assault.<\/td>\n35<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
DUNCAN<\/td>\nDismay'd not this<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOur captains, Macbeth and Banquo?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Sergeant<\/td>\nYes;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAs sparrows eagles, or the hare the lion.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIf I say sooth, I must report they were<\/td>\n40<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAs cannons overcharged with double cracks, so they<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nDoubly redoubled strokes upon the foe:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nExcept they meant to bathe in reeking wounds,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOr memorize another Golgotha,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI cannot tell.<\/td>\n45<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut I am faint, my gashes cry for help.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
DUNCAN<\/td>\nSo well thy words become thee as thy wounds;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThey smack of honour both. Go get him surgeons.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Exit Sergeant, attended]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWho comes here?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Enter ROSS]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MALCOLM<\/td>\nThe worthy thane of Ross.<\/td>\n50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LENNOX<\/td>\nWhat a haste looks through his eyes! So should he look<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat seems to speak things strange.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ROSS<\/td>\nGod save the king!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
DUNCAN<\/td>\nWhence camest thou, worthy thane?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ROSS<\/td>\nFrom Fife, great king;<\/td>\n55<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhere the Norweyan banners flout the sky<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd fan our people cold. Norway himself,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWith terrible numbers,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAssisted by that most disloyal traitor<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe thane of Cawdor, began a dismal conflict;<\/td>\n60<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTill that Bellona's bridegroom, lapp'd in proof,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nConfronted him with self–comparisons,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nPoint against point rebellious, arm 'gainst arm.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCurbing his lavish spirit: and, to conclude,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe victory fell on us.<\/td>\n65<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
DUNCAN<\/td>\nGreat happiness!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ROSS<\/td>\nThat now<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSweno, the Norways' king, craves composition:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nNor would we deign him burial of his men<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTill he disbursed at Saint Colme's inch<\/td>\n70<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTen thousand dollars to our general use.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
DUNCAN<\/td>\nNo more that thane of Cawdor shall deceive<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nour bosom interest: go pronounce his present death,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd with his former title greet Macbeth.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ROSS<\/td>\nI'll see it done.<\/td>\n75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
DUNCAN<\/td>\nWhat he hath lost noble Macbeth hath won.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Exeunt]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
