<H3>SCENE II. The country near Dunsinane.</h3>
<p><blockquote>
<i>Drum and colours. Enter MENTEITH, CAITHNESS, ANGUS, LENNOX, and Soldiers</i>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech1><b>MENTEITH</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1>The English power is near, led on by Malcolm,</A><br>
<A NAME=2>His uncle Siward and the good Macduff:</A><br>
<A NAME=3>Revenges burn in them; for their dear causes</A><br>
<A NAME=4>Would to the bleeding and the grim alarm</A><br>
<A NAME=5>Excite the mortified man.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech2><b>ANGUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=6>Near Birnam wood</A><br>
<A NAME=7>Shall we well meet them; that way are they coming.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech3><b>CAITHNESS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=8>Who knows if Donalbain be with his brother?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech4><b>LENNOX</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=9>For certain, sir, he is not: I have a file</A><br>
<A NAME=10>Of all the gentry: there is Siward's son,</A><br>
<A NAME=11>And many unrough youths that even now</A><br>
<A NAME=12>Protest their first of manhood.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech5><b>MENTEITH</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=13>What does the tyrant?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech6><b>CAITHNESS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=14>Great Dunsinane he strongly fortifies:</A><br>
<A NAME=15>Some say he's mad; others that lesser hate him</A><br>
<A NAME=16>Do call it valiant fury: but, for certain,</A><br>
<A NAME=17>He cannot buckle his distemper'd cause</A><br>
<A NAME=18>Within the belt of rule.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech7><b>ANGUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=19>Now does he feel</A><br>
<A NAME=20>His secret murders sticking on his hands;</A><br>
<A NAME=21>Now minutely revolts upbraid his faith-breach;</A><br>
<A NAME=22>Those he commands move only in command,</A><br>
<A NAME=23>Nothing in love: now does he feel his title</A><br>
<A NAME=24>Hang loose about him, like a giant's robe</A><br>
<A NAME=25>Upon a dwarfish thief.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech8><b>MENTEITH</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=26>Who then shall blame</A><br>
<A NAME=27>His pester'd senses to recoil and start,</A><br>
<A NAME=28>When all that is within him does condemn</A><br>
<A NAME=29>Itself for being there?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech9><b>CAITHNESS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=30>Well, march we on,</A><br>
<A NAME=31>To give obedience where 'tis truly owed:</A><br>
<A NAME=32>Meet we the medicine of the sickly weal,</A><br>
<A NAME=33>And with him pour we in our country's purge</A><br>
<A NAME=34>Each drop of us.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech10><b>LENNOX</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=35> Or so much as it needs,</A><br>
<A NAME=36>To dew the sovereign flower and drown the weeds.</A><br>
<A NAME=37>Make we our march towards Birnam.</A><br>
<p><i>Exeunt, marching</i></p>
