ACT 3, SCENE 6<\/b>
Setting: Forres. The palace.<\/i><\/p>\n

[Enter LENNOX and another Lord]<\/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
LENNOX<\/td>\nMy former speeches have but hit your thoughts,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhich can interpret further: only, I say,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThings have been strangely borne. The<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\ngracious Duncan<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWas pitied of Macbeth: marry, he was dead:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd the right–valiant Banquo walk'd too late;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhom, you may say, if't please you, Fleance kill'd,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFor Fleance fled: men must not walk too late.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWho cannot want the thought how monstrous<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIt was for Malcolm and for Donalbain<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo kill their gracious father? damned fact!<\/td>\n10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHow it did grieve Macbeth! did he not straight<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIn pious rage the two delinquents tear,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat were the slaves of drink and thralls of sleep?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWas not that nobly done? Ay, and wisely too;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFor 'twould have anger'd any heart alive<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo hear the men deny't. So that, I say,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHe has borne all things well: and I do think<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat had he Duncan's sons under his key––<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAs, an't please heaven, he shall not––they<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nshould find<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhat 'twere to kill a father; so should Fleance.<\/td>\n20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut, peace! for from broad words and 'cause he fail'd<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHis presence at the tyrant's feast, I hear<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMacduff lives in disgrace: sir, can you tell<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhere he bestows himself?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Lord<\/td>\nThe son of Duncan,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFrom whom this tyrant holds the due of birth<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nLives in the English court, and is received<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOf the most pious Edward with such grace<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat the malevolence of fortune nothing<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTakes from his high respect: thither Macduff<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIs gone to pray the holy king, upon his aid<\/td>\n30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo wake Northumberland and warlike Siward:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat, by the help of these––with Him above<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo ratify the work––we may again<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nGive to our tables meat, sleep to our nights,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFree from our feasts and banquets bloody knives,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nDo faithful homage and receive free honours:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAll which we pine for now: and this report<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHath so exasperate the king that he<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nPrepares for some attempt of war.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LENNOX<\/td>\nSent he to Macduff?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Lord<\/td>\nHe did: and with an absolute 'Sir, not I,'<\/td>\n40<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe cloudy messenger turns me his back,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd hums, as who should say 'You'll rue the time<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat clogs me with this answer.'<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LENNOX<\/td>\nAnd that well might<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAdvise him to a caution, to hold what distance<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHis wisdom can provide. Some holy angel<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFly to the court of England and unfold<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHis message ere he come, that a swift blessing<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMay soon return to this our suffering country<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nUnder a hand accursed!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Lord<\/td>\nI'll send my prayers with him.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Exeunt]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
