ACT 5, SCENE 5<\/b>
Setting: Dunsinane. Within the castle.<\/i><\/p>\n

[Enter MACBETH, SEYTON, and Soldiers, with drum and colours]<\/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
MACBETH<\/td>\nHang out our banners on the outward walls;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe cry is still 'They come:' our castle's strength<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWill laugh a siege to scorn: here let them lie<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTill famine and the ague eat them up:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWere they not forced with those that should be ours,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWe might have met them dareful, beard to beard,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd beat them backward home.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[A cry of women within]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhat is that noise?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
SEYTON<\/td>\nIt is the cry of women, my good lord.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Exit]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nI have almost forgot the taste of fears;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe time has been, my senses would have cool'd<\/td>\n10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo hear a night–shriek; and my fell of hair<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWould at a dismal treatise rouse and stir<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAs life were in't: I have supp'd full with horrors;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nDireness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCannot once start me.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Re–enter SEYTON]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWherefore was that cry?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
SEYTON<\/td>\nThe queen, my lord, is dead.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nShe should have died hereafter;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThere would have been a time for such a word.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo–morrow, and to–morrow, and to–morrow,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCreeps in this petty pace from day to day<\/td>\n20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo the last syllable of recorded time,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd all our yesterdays have lighted fools<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nLife's but a walking shadow, a poor player<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat struts and frets his hour upon the stage<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd then is heard no more: it is a tale<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTold by an idiot, full of sound and fury,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSignifying nothing.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Enter a Messenger]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThou comest to use thy tongue; thy story quickly.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Messenger<\/td>\nGracious my lord,<\/td>\n30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI should report that which I say I saw,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut know not how to do it.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nWell, say, sir.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Messenger<\/td>\nAs I did stand my watch upon the hill,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI look'd toward Birnam, and anon, methought,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe wood began to move.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nLiar and slave!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Messenger<\/td>\nLet me endure your wrath, if't be not so:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWithin this three mile may you see it coming;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI say, a moving grove.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nIf thou speak'st false,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nUpon the next tree shalt thou hang alive,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTill famine cling thee: if thy speech be sooth,<\/td>\n40<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI care not if thou dost for me as much.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI pull in resolution, and begin<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo doubt the equivocation of the fiend<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat lies like truth: 'Fear not, till Birnam wood<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nDo come to Dunsinane:' and now a wood<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nComes toward Dunsinane. Arm, arm, and out!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIf this which he avouches does appear,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThere is nor flying hence nor tarrying here.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI gin to be aweary of the sun,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd wish the estate o' the world were now undone.<\/td>\n50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nRing the alarum–bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAt least we'll die with harness on our back.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Exeunt]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
