ACT 5, SCENE 8<\/b>
Setting: Another part of the field.<\/i><\/p>\n

[Enter 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
MACBETH<\/td>\nWhy should I play the Roman fool, and die<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOn mine own sword? whiles I see lives, the gashes<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nDo better upon them.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Enter MACDUFF]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACDUFF<\/td>\nTurn, hell–hound, turn!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nOf all men else I have avoided thee:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut get thee back; my soul is too much charged<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWith blood of thine already.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACDUFF<\/td>\nI have no words:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMy voice is in my sword: thou bloodier villain<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThan terms can give thee out!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[They fight]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nThou losest labour:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAs easy mayst thou the intrenchant air<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWith thy keen sword impress as make me bleed:<\/td>\n10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nLet fall thy blade on vulnerable crests;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI bear a charmed life, which must not yield,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo one of woman born.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACDUFF<\/td>\nDespair thy charm;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd let the angel whom thou still hast served<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTell thee, Macduff was from his mother's womb<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nUntimely ripp'd.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nAccursed be that tongue that tells me so,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFor it hath cow'd my better part of man!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd be these juggling fiends no more believed,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat palter with us in a double sense;<\/td>\n20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat keep the word of promise to our ear,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd break it to our hope. I'll not fight with thee.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACDUFF<\/td>\nThen yield thee, coward,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd live to be the show and gaze o' the time:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWe'll have thee, as our rarer monsters are,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nPainted on a pole, and underwrit,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHere may you see the tyrant.'<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nI will not yield,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo kiss the ground before young Malcolm's feet,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd to be baited with the rabble's curse.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThough Birnam wood be come to Dunsinane,<\/td>\n30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd thou opposed, being of no woman born,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nYet I will try the last. Before my body<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macduff,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd damn'd be him that first cries, 'Hold, enough!'<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Exeunt, fighting. Alarums]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/table>\n

[Retreat. Flourish. Enter, with drum and colours, MALCOLM, SIWARD, ROSS, the other Thanes, and Soldiers ]<\/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
MALCOLM<\/td>\nI would the friends we miss were safe arrived.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
SIWARD<\/td>\nSome must go off: and yet, by these I see,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSo great a day as this is cheaply bought.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MALCOLM<\/td>\nMacduff is missing, and your noble son.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ROSS<\/td>\nYour son, my lord, has paid a soldier's debt:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHe only lived but till he was a man;<\/td>\n40<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe which no sooner had his prowess confirm'd<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIn the unshrinking station where he fought,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut like a man he died.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
SIWARD<\/td>\nThen he is dead?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ROSS<\/td>\nAy, and brought off the field: your cause of sorrow<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMust not be measured by his worth, for then<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIt hath no end.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
SIWARD<\/td>\nHad he his hurts before?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ROSS<\/td>\nAy, on the front.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
SIWARD<\/td>\nWhy then, God's soldier be he!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHad I as many sons as I have hairs,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI would not wish them to a fairer death:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd so, his knell is knoll'd.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MALCOLM<\/td>\nHe's worth more sorrow,<\/td>\n50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd that I'll spend for him.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
SIWARD<\/td>\nHe's worth no more<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThey say he parted well, and paid his score:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd so, God be with him! Here comes newer comfort.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/table>\n

[Re–enter MACDUFF, with MACBETH's head]<\/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
MACDUFF<\/td>\nHail, king! for so thou art: behold, where stands<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe usurper's cursed head: the time is free:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI see thee compass'd with thy kingdom's pearl,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat speak my salutation in their minds;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhose voices I desire aloud with mine:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHail, King of Scotland!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ALL<\/td>\nHail, King of Scotland!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Flourish]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MALCOLM<\/td>\nWe shall not spend a large expense of time<\/td>\n60<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBefore we reckon with your several loves,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd make us even with you. My thanes and kinsmen,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHenceforth be earls, the first that ever Scotland<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIn such an honour named. What's more to do,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhich would be planted newly with the time,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAs calling home our exiled friends abroad<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat fled the snares of watchful tyranny;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nProducing forth the cruel ministers<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOf this dead butcher and his fiend–like queen,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWho, as 'tis thought, by self and violent hands<\/td>\n70<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTook off her life; this, and what needful else<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat calls upon us, by the grace of Grace,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWe will perform in measure, time and place:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSo, thanks to all at once and to each one,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhom we invite to see us crown'd at Scone.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Flourish. Exeunt]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
