Macbeth
[I, 2]

Sergeant

44

As whence the sun 'gins his reflection
Shipwrecking storms and direful thunders break,
So from that spring whence comfort seem'd to come
Discomfort swells. Mark, king of Scotland, mark:
No sooner justice had with valour arm'd
Compell'd these skipping kerns to trust their heels,
But the Norweyan lord surveying vantage,
With furbish'd arms and new supplies of men
Began a fresh assault.

Macbeth
[III, 1]

Banquo

1025

Ay, my good lord.

3

Macbeth
[III, 1]

Banquo

1030

As far, my lord, as will fill up the time
'Twixt this and supper: go not my horse the better,
I must become a borrower of the night
For a dark hour or twain.

Macbeth
[III, 1]

Banquo

My lord, I will not.

Ay, my good lord: our time does call upon 's.

They are, my lord, without the palace gate.

First Murderer

[with Second Murderer] True, my lord.

Macbeth
[III, 1]

Second Murderer

1146

We shall, my lord,
Perform what you command us.

Macbeth
[III, 1]

First Murderer

1161

[With Second Murderer] We are resolved, my lord.

Macbeth

Lady Macbeth

1174

Nought's had, all's spent,
Where our desire is got without content:
'Tis safer to be that which we destroy
Than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy.
[Enter MACBETH]
How now, my lord! why do you keep alone,
Of sorriest fancies your companions making,
Using those thoughts which should indeed have died
With them they think on? Things without all remedy
Should be without regard: what's done is done.

11

Macbeth
[III, 2]

Lady Macbeth

1199

Come on;
Gentle my lord, sleek o'er your rugged looks;
Be bright and jovial among your guests to-night.

Macbeth

First Murderer

1291

My lord, his throat is cut; that I did for him.

13

Macbeth
[III, 4]

First Murderer

1302

Ay, my good lord: safe in a ditch he bides,
With twenty trenched gashes on his head;
The least a death to nature.

14

Macbeth
[III, 4]

Lady Macbeth

1311

My royal lord,
You do not give the cheer: the feast is sold
That is not often vouch'd, while 'tis a-making,
'Tis given with welcome: to feed were best at home;
From thence the sauce to meat is ceremony;
Meeting were bare without it.

15

Macbeth
[III, 4]

Lennox

1333

Here, my good lord. What is't that moves your highness?

16

Macbeth
[III, 4]

Lords

1335

What, my good lord?

17

Macbeth
[III, 4]

Lady Macbeth

1339

Sit, worthy friends: my lord is often thus,
And hath been from his youth: pray you, keep seat;
The fit is momentary; upon a thought
He will again be well: if much you note him,
You shall offend him and extend his passion:
Feed, and regard him not. Are you a man?

18

Macbeth
[III, 4]

Lady Macbeth

1375

My worthy lord,
Your noble friends do lack you.
