[A park near the palace]
Enter three Murderers
1. Mur. But who did bid thee join with us? | |
| 3. Mur. Macbeth. | |
| 2. Mur. He needs not our mistrust, since he delivers 1 | |
| Our offices and what we have to do | 4 |
| To the direction just. | |
| 1. Mur. Then stand with us; | |
| The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day. | |
| Now spurs the lated traveller apace | 8 |
| To gain the timely inn; and near approaches | |
| The subject of our watch. | |
| 3. Mur. Hark! I hear horses. | |
| Ban. (Within.) Give us a light there, ho! | 12 |
| 2. Mur. Then ’tis he; the rest | |
| That are within the note of expectation 2 | |
| Already are i’ the court. | |
| 1. Mur. His horses go about. | 16 |
| 3. Mur. Almost a mile; but he does usually, | |
| So all men do, from hence to the palace gate | |
| Make it their walk. | |
| |
Enter BANQUO, and FLEANCE with a torch
2. Mur. A light, a light! | 20 |
| 3. Mur. ’Tis he. | |
| 1. Mur. Stand to ’t. | |
| Ban. It will be rain to-night. | |
| 1. Mur. Let it come down. [They set upon BANQUO.] | 24 |
| Ban. O, treachery! Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly! | |
| Thou mayst revenge. O slave! [Dies. FLEANCE escapes.] | |
| 3. Mur. Who did strike out the light? | |
| 1. Mur. Was ’t not the way? | 28 |
| 3. Mur. There’s but one down; the son is fled. | |
| 2. Mur. We have lost | |
| Best half of our affair. | |
| 1. Mur. Well, let’s away, and say how much is done. Exeunt. | 32 |
