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