| <A NAME=2>Till Birnam wood remove to Dunsinane,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=3>I cannot taint with fear. What's the boy Malcolm?</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=4>Was he not born of woman? The spirits that know</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=5>All mortal consequences have pronounced me thus:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=6>'Fear not, Macbeth; no man that's born of woman</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=7>Shall e'er have power upon thee.' Then fly,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=8>false thanes,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=9>And mingle with the English epicures:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=10>The mind I sway by and the heart I bear</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=11>Shall never sag with doubt nor shake with fear.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Enter a Servant</i></p> | |

| <A NAME=26>I have lived long enough: my way of life</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=27>Is fall'n into the sear, the yellow leaf;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=28>And that which should accompany old age,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=29>As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=30>I must not look to have; but, in their stead,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=31>Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath,</A><br> | |
