MACBETH . There’s comfort yet ; they are assailable . Then be thou jocund . Ere the bat hath flown His cloister’d flight , ere to black Hecate’s summons The shard - born beetle , with his drowsy hums , Hath rung night’s yawning peal , there shall be done A deed of dreadful note . LADY MACBETH . What’s to be done ? MACBETH . Be innocent of the knowledge , dearest chuck , Till thou applaud the deed . Come , seeling night , Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day , And with thy bloody and invisible hand Cancel and tear to pieces that great bond Which keeps me pale ! — Light thickens ; and the crow Makes wing to th ’ rooky wood . Good things of day begin to droop and drowse , Whiles night’s black agents to their preys do rouse . Thou marvell’st at my words : but hold thee still ; Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill . So , pr’ythee , go with me . [ Exeunt . ] SCENE III . The same . A Park or Lawn , with a gate leading to the Palace . Enter three Murderers . FIRST MURDERER . But who did bid thee join with us ? THIRD MURDERER . Macbeth . SECOND MURDERER . He needs not our mistrust ; since he delivers Our offices and what we have to do To the direction just . FIRST MURDERER . Then stand with us . The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day . Now spurs the lated traveller apace , To gain the timely inn ; and near approaches The subject of our watch . THIRD MURDERER . Hark ! I hear horses . BANQUO . [ Within . ] Give us a light there , ho ! SECOND MURDERER . Then ’ tis he ; the rest That are within the note of expectation Already are i ’ th ’ court . FIRST MURDERER . His horses go about . THIRD MURDERER . 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 . SECOND MURDERER . A light , a light ! THIRD MURDERER . ’ Tis he . FIRST MURDERER . Stand to’t . BANQUO . It will be rain tonight . FIRST MURDERER . Let it come down . [ Assaults Banquo . ] BANQUO . O , treachery ! Fly , good Fleance , fly , fly , fly ! Thou mayst revenge — O slave ! [ Dies . Fleance escapes . ] THIRD MURDERER . Who did strike out the light ? FIRST MURDERER . Was’t not the way ? THIRD MURDERER . There’s but one down : the son is fled . SECOND MURDERER . We have lost best half of our affair . FIRST MURDERER . Well , let’s away , and say how much is done . [ Exeunt . ] SCENE IV . The same . A Room of state in the Palace . A banquet prepared . Enter Macbeth , Lady Macbeth , Ross , Lennox , Lords and Attendants . MACBETH . You know your own degrees , sit down . At first And last the hearty welcome . LORDS . Thanks to your Majesty . MACBETH . Ourself will mingle with society , And play the humble host . Our hostess keeps her state ; but , in best time , We will require her welcome . LADY MACBETH . Pronounce it for me , sir , to all our friends ; For my heart speaks they are welcome . Enter first Murderer to the door . MACBETH . See , they encounter thee with their hearts ’ thanks . Both sides are even : here I’ll sit i ’ th ’ midst . Be large in mirth ; anon we’ll drink a measure The table round . There’s blood upon thy face .
