Enter three Murderers. | |
| First Mur. But who did bid thee join with us? | |
| Third Mur. Macbeth. | |
| Sec. Mur. He needs not our mistrust, since he delivers | 5 |
| Our offices and what we have to do | |
| To the direction just. | |
| First Mur. Then stand with us. | |
| The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day: | |
| Now spurs the lated traveller apace | 10 |
| To gain the timely inn; and near approaches | |
| The subject of our watch. | |
| Third Mur. Hark! I hear horses. | |
| Ban. [Within.] Give us a light there, ho! | |
| Sec. Mur. Then ’tis he: the rest | 15 |
| That are within the note of expectation | |
| Already are i’ the court. | |
| First Mur His horses go about. | |
| Third Mur. Almost a mile; but he does usually, | |
| So all men do, from hence to the palace gate | 20 |
| Make it their walk. | |
| Sec. Mur. A light, a light! | |
| Third Mur. ’Tis he. | |
| First Mur. Stand to ’t. | |
| |
Enter BANQUO and FLEANCE, with a torch. | 25 |
| Ban. It will be rain to-night. | |
| First Mur. Let it come down. [They set upon BANQUO. | |
| Ban. O, treachery! Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly! | |
| Thou mayst revenge. O slave! [Dies. FLEANCE escapes. | |
| Third Mur. Who did strike out the light? | 30 |
| First Mur. Was ’t not the way? | |
| Third Mur. There’s but one down; the son is fled. | |
| Sec. Mur. We have lost | |
| Best half of our affair. | |
| First Mur. Well, let’s away, and say how much is done. [Exeunt. | 35 |
