MALCOLM . This murderous shaft that’s shot Hath not yet lighted ; and our safest way Is to avoid the aim . Therefore to horse ; And let us not be dainty of leave - taking , But shift away . There’s warrant in that theft Which steals itself , when there’s no mercy left . [ Exeunt . ] SCENE IV . The same . Without the Castle . Enter Ross and an Old Man . OLD MAN . Threescore and ten I can remember well , Within the volume of which time I have seen Hours dreadful and things strange , but this sore night Hath trifled former knowings . ROSS . Ha , good father , Thou seest the heavens , as troubled with man’s act , Threatens his bloody stage : by the clock ’ tis day , And yet dark night strangles the travelling lamp . Is’t night’s predominance , or the day’s shame , That darkness does the face of earth entomb , When living light should kiss it ? OLD MAN . ’ Tis unnatural , Even like the deed that’s done . On Tuesday last , A falcon , towering in her pride of place , Was by a mousing owl hawk’d at and kill’d . ROSS . And Duncan’s horses ( a thing most strange and certain ) Beauteous and swift , the minions of their race , Turn’d wild in nature , broke their stalls , flung out , Contending ’ gainst obedience , as they would make War with mankind . OLD MAN . ’ Tis said they eat each other . ROSS . They did so ; to the amazement of mine eyes , That look’d upon’t . Here comes the good Macduff . Enter Macduff . How goes the world , sir , now ? MACDUFF . Why , see you not ? ROSS . Is’t known who did this more than bloody deed ? MACDUFF . Those that Macbeth hath slain . ROSS . Alas , the day ! What good could they pretend ? MACDUFF . They were suborn’d . Malcolm and Donalbain , the King’s two sons , Are stol’n away and fled ; which puts upon them Suspicion of the deed . ROSS . ’ Gainst nature still : Thriftless ambition , that will ravin up Thine own life’s means ! — Then ’ tis most like The sovereignty will fall upon Macbeth . MACDUFF . He is already nam’d ; and gone to Scone To be invested . ROSS . Where is Duncan’s body ? MACDUFF . Carried to Colmekill , The sacred storehouse of his predecessors , And guardian of their bones . ROSS . Will you to Scone ? MACDUFF . No , cousin , I’ll to Fife . ROSS . Well , I will thither . MACDUFF . Well , may you see things well done there . Adieu ! Lest our old robes sit easier than our new ! ROSS . Farewell , father . OLD MAN . God’s benison go with you ; and with those That would make good of bad , and friends of foes ! [ Exeunt . ] ACT III SCENE I . Forres . A Room in the Palace . Enter Banquo . BANQUO . Thou hast it now , King , Cawdor , Glamis , all , As the Weird Women promis’d ; and , I fear , Thou play’dst most foully for’t ; yet it was said It should not stand in thy posterity ; But that myself should be the root and father Of many kings . If there come truth from them ( As upon thee , Macbeth , their speeches shine ) Why , by the verities on thee made good , May they not be my oracles as well , And set me up in hope ? But hush ; no more . Sennet sounded . Enter Macbeth as King , Lady Macbeth as Queen ; Lennox , Ross , Lords , and Attendants .
