ACT 3, SCENE 2<\/b>
Setting: The palace.<\/i><\/p>\n

[Enter LADY MACBETH and a Servant]<\/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
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nIs Banquo gone from court?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Servant<\/td>\nAy, madam, but returns again to–night.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nSay to the king, I would attend his leisure<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFor a few words.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Servant<\/td>\nMadam, I will.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Exit]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nNought's had, all's spent,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhere our desire is got without content:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTis safer to be that which we destroy<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThan by destruction dwell in doubtful joy.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Enter MACBETH]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHow now, my lord! why do you keep alone,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOf sorriest fancies your companions making,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nUsing those thoughts which should indeed have died<\/td>\n10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWith them they think on? Things without all remedy<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nShould be without regard: what's done is done.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nWe have scotch'd the snake, not kill'd it:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nShe'll close and be herself, whilst our poor malice<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nRemains in danger of her former tooth.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut let the frame of things disjoint, both the<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nworlds suffer,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nEre we will eat our meal in fear and sleep<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIn the affliction of these terrible dreams<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat shake us nightly: better be with the dead,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhom we, to gain our peace, have sent to peace,<\/td>\n20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThan on the torture of the mind to lie<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIn restless ecstasy. Duncan is in his grave;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAfter life's fitful fever he sleeps well;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTreason has done his worst: nor steel, nor poison,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMalice domestic, foreign levy, nothing,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCan touch him further.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nCome on;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nGentle my lord, sleek o'er your rugged looks;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBe bright and jovial among your guests to–night.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nSo shall I, love; and so, I pray, be you:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nLet your remembrance apply to Banquo;<\/td>\n30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nPresent him eminence, both with eye and tongue:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nUnsafe the while, that we<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMust lave our honours in these flattering streams,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd make our faces vizards to our hearts,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nDisguising what they are.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nYou must leave this.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nO, full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThou know'st that Banquo, and his Fleance, lives.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nBut in them nature's copy's not eterne.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nThere's comfort yet; they are assailable;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThen be thou jocund: ere the bat hath flown<\/td>\n40<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHis cloister'd flight, ere to black Hecate's summons<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe shard–borne beetle with his drowsy hums<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHath rung night's yawning peal, there shall be done<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nA deed of dreadful note.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nWhat's to be done?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nBe innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTill thou applaud the deed. Come, seeling night,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nScarf up the tender eye of pitiful day;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd with thy bloody and invisible hand<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCancel and tear to pieces that great bond<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhich keeps me pale! Light thickens; and the crow<\/td>\n50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMakes wing to the rooky wood:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nGood things of day begin to droop and drowse;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhile night's black agents to their preys do rouse.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThou marvell'st at my words: but hold thee still;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThings bad begun make strong themselves by ill.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSo, prithee, go with me.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Exeunt]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
