ACT 3, SCENE 4<\/b>
Setting: The same. A hall in the palace.<\/i><\/p>\n

[A banquet prepared. Enter MACBETH, LADY MACBETH, ROSS, LENNOX, Lords, and Attendants ]<\/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
MACBETH<\/td>\nYou know your own degrees; sit down: at first<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd last the hearty welcome.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Lords<\/td>\nThanks to your majesty.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nOurself will mingle with society,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd play the humble host.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOur hostess keeps her state, but in best time<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWe will require her welcome.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LADY MACBETH<\/td>\nPronounce it for me, sir, to all our friends;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFor my heart speaks they are welcome.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[First Murderer appears at the door]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nSee, they encounter thee with their hearts' thanks.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBoth sides are even: here I'll sit i' the midst:<\/td>\n10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBe large in mirth; anon we'll drink a measure<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe table round.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Approaching the door]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThere's blood on thy face.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Murderer<\/td>\nTis Banquo's then.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nTis better thee without than he within.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIs he dispatch'd?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Murderer<\/td>\nMy lord, his throat is cut; that I did for him.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nThou art the best o' the cut–throats: yet he's good<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat did the like for Fleance: if thou didst it,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThou art the nonpareil.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Murderer<\/td>\nMost royal sir,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFleance is 'scaped.<\/td>\n20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nThen comes my fit again: I had else been perfect,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhole as the marble, founded as the rock,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAs broad and general as the casing air:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut now I am cabin'd, cribb'd, confined, bound in<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo saucy doubts and fears. But Banquo's safe?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Murderer<\/td>\nAy, my good lord: safe in a ditch he bides,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWith twenty trenched gashes on his head;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe least a death to nature.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nThanks for that:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThere the grown serpent lies; the worm that's fled<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHath nature that in time will venom breed,<\/td>\n30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nNo teeth for the present. Get thee gone: to–morrow<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
