| <A NAME=speech1><b>DUNCAN</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=1>This castle hath a pleasant seat; the air</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=2>Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=3>Unto our gentle senses.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech2><b>BANQUO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=4>This guest of summer,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=5>The temple-haunting martlet, does approve,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=6>By his loved mansionry, that the heaven's breath</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=7>Smells wooingly here: no jutty, frieze,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=8>Buttress, nor coign of vantage, but this bird</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=9>Hath made his pendent bed and procreant cradle:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=10>Where they most breed and haunt, I have observed,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=11>The air is delicate.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Enter LADY MACBETH</i></p> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech3><b>DUNCAN</b></a> | |

| <A NAME=12>See, see, our honour'd hostess!</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=13>The love that follows us sometime is our trouble,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=14>Which still we thank as love. Herein I teach you</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=15>How you shall bid God 'ild us for your pains,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=16>And thank us for your trouble.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech4><b>LADY MACBETH</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=17>All our service</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=18>In every point twice done and then done double</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=19>Were poor and single business to contend</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=20>Against those honours deep and broad wherewith</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=21>Your majesty loads our house: for those of old,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=22>And the late dignities heap'd up to them,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=23>We rest your hermits.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |

| <A NAME=24>Where's the thane of Cawdor?</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=25>We coursed him at the heels, and had a purpose</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=26>To be his purveyor: but he rides well;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=27>And his great love, sharp as his spur, hath holp him</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=28>To his home before us. Fair and noble hostess,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=29>We are your guest to-night.</A><br> | |
