ACT 2, SCENE 2<\/b>
Setting: The same.<\/i><\/p>\n

[Enter LADY MACBETH]<\/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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nThat which hath made them drunk hath made me bold;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhat hath quench'd them hath given me fire.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHark! Peace!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIt was the owl that shriek'd, the fatal bellman,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhich gives the stern'st good–night. He is about it:<\/td>\n5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe doors are open; and the surfeited grooms<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nDo mock their charge with snores: I have drugg'd<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\ntheir possets,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat death and nature do contend about them,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhether they live or die.<\/td>\n10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\n[Within] Who's there? what, ho!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nAlack, I am afraid they have awaked,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd 'tis not done. The attempt and not the deed<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nConfounds us. Hark! I laid their daggers ready;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHe could not miss 'em. Had he not resembled<\/td>\n15<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMy father as he slept, I had done't.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Enter MACBETH]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMy husband!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nI have done the deed. Didst thou not hear a noise?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nI heard the owl scream and the crickets cry.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nDid not you speak?<\/td>\n20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nWhen?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nNow.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nAs I descended?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nAy.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nHark!<\/td>\n25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWho lies i' the second chamber?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nDonalbain.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nThis is a sorry sight.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Looking on his hands]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nA foolish thought, to say a sorry sight.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nThere's one did laugh in's sleep, and one cried<\/td>\n30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMurder!'<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat they did wake each other: I stood and heard them:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut they did say their prayers, and address'd them<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAgain to sleep.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nThere are two lodged together.<\/td>\n35<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nOne cried 'God bless us!' and 'Amen' the other;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAs they had seen me with these hangman's hands.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nListening their fear, I could not say 'Amen,'<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhen they did say 'God bless us!'<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nConsider it not so deeply.<\/td>\n40<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nBut wherefore could not I pronounce 'Amen'?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI had most need of blessing, and 'Amen'<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nStuck in my throat.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nThese deeds must not be thought<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAfter these ways; so, it will make us mad.<\/td>\n45<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nMethought I heard a voice cry 'Sleep no more!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMacbeth does murder sleep', the innocent sleep,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSleep that knits up the ravell'd sleeve of care,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe death of each day's life, sore labour's bath,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBalm of hurt minds, great nature's second course,<\/td>\n50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nChief nourisher in life's feast,––<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nWhat do you mean?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nStill it cried 'Sleep no more!' to all the house:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nGlamis hath murder'd sleep, and therefore Cawdor<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nShall sleep no more; Macbeth shall sleep no more.'<\/td>\n55<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nWho was it that thus cried? Why, worthy thane,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nYou do unbend your noble strength, to think<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSo brainsickly of things. Go get some water,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd wash this filthy witness from your hand.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhy did you bring these daggers from the place?<\/td>\n60<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThey must lie there: go carry them; and smear<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe sleepy grooms with blood.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nI'll go no more:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI am afraid to think what I have done;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nLook on't again I dare not.<\/td>\n65<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nInfirm of purpose!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nGive me the daggers: the sleeping and the dead<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAre but as pictures: 'tis the eye of childhood<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat fears a painted devil. If he do bleed,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI'll gild the faces of the grooms withal;<\/td>\n70<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFor it must seem their guilt.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Exit. Knocking within]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nWhence is that knocking?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHow is't with me, when every noise appals me?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhat hands are here? ha! they pluck out mine eyes.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWill all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood<\/td>\n75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nClean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe multitudinous seas in incarnadine,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMaking the green one red.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Re–enter LADY MACBETH]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nMy hands are of your colour; but I shame<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo wear a heart so white.<\/td>\n80<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Knocking within]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI hear a knocking<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAt the south entry: retire we to our chamber;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nA little water clears us of this deed:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHow easy is it, then! Your constancy<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHath left you unattended.<\/td>\n85<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Knocking within]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHark! more knocking.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nGet on your nightgown, lest occasion call us,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd show us to be watchers. Be not lost<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSo poorly in your thoughts.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nTo know my deed, 'twere best not know myself.<\/td>\n90<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Knocking within]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWake Duncan with thy knocking! I would thou couldst!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Exeunt]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
