LENNOX . My former speeches have but hit your thoughts , Which can interpret farther : only , I say , Thing’s have been strangely borne . The gracious Duncan Was pitied of Macbeth : — marry , he was dead : — And the right valiant Banquo walk’d too late ; Whom , you may say , if’t please you , Fleance kill’d , For Fleance fled . Men must not walk too late . Who cannot want the thought , how monstrous It was for Malcolm and for Donalbain To kill their gracious father ? damned fact ! How it did grieve Macbeth ! did he not straight , In pious rage , the two delinquents tear That were the slaves of drink and thralls of sleep ? Was not that nobly done ? Ay , and wisely too ; For ’ twould have anger’d any heart alive , To hear the men deny’t . So that , I say , He has borne all things well : and I do think , That had he Duncan’s sons under his key ( As , and’t please heaven , he shall not ) they should find What ’ twere to kill a father ; so should Fleance . But , peace ! — for from broad words , and ’ cause he fail’d His presence at the tyrant’s feast , I hear , Macduff lives in disgrace . Sir , can you tell Where he bestows himself ? LORD . The son of Duncan , From whom this tyrant holds the due of birth , Lives in the English court and is receiv’d Of the most pious Edward with such grace That the malevolence of fortune nothing Takes from his high respect . Thither Macduff Is gone to pray the holy king , upon his aid To wake Northumberland , and warlike Siward That , by the help of these ( with Him above To ratify the work ) , we may again Give to our tables meat , sleep to our nights ; Free from our feasts and banquets bloody knives , Do faithful homage , and receive free honours , All which we pine for now . And this report Hath so exasperate the King that he Prepares for some attempt of war . LENNOX . Sent he to Macduff ? LORD . He did : and with an absolute “ Sir , not I , ” The cloudy messenger turns me his back , And hums , as who should say , “ You’ll rue the time That clogs me with this answer . ” LENNOX . And that well might Advise him to a caution , t ’ hold what distance His wisdom can provide . Some holy angel Fly to the court of England , and unfold His message ere he come , that a swift blessing May soon return to this our suffering country Under a hand accurs’d ! LORD . I’ll send my prayers with him . [ Exeunt . ] ACT IV SCENE I . A dark Cave . In the middle , a Cauldron Boiling . Thunder . Enter the three Witches . FIRST WITCH . Thrice the brinded cat hath mew’d . SECOND WITCH . Thrice , and once the hedge - pig whin’d . THIRD WITCH . Harpier cries : — ’ Tis time , ’ tis time . FIRST WITCH . Round about the cauldron go ; In the poison’d entrails throw . — Toad , that under cold stone Days and nights has thirty - one Swelter’d venom sleeping got , Boil thou first i ’ th ’ charmed pot ! ALL . Double , double , toil and trouble ; Fire , burn ; and cauldron , bubble .
