<H3>SCENE III. Dunsinane. A room in the castle.</h3>
<p><blockquote>
<i>Enter MACBETH, Doctor, and Attendants</i>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech1><b>MACBETH</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1>Bring me no more reports; let them fly all:</A><br>
<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=12>The devil damn thee black, thou cream-faced loon!</A><br>
<A NAME=13>Where got'st thou that goose look?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech2><b>Servant</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=14>There is ten thousand--</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech3><b>MACBETH</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=15>Geese, villain!</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech4><b>Servant</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=16>Soldiers, sir.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech5><b>MACBETH</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=17>Go prick thy face, and over-red thy fear,</A><br>
<A NAME=18>Thou lily-liver'd boy. What soldiers, patch?</A><br>
<A NAME=19>Death of thy soul! those linen cheeks of thine</A><br>
<A NAME=20>Are counsellors to fear. What soldiers, whey-face?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech6><b>Servant</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=21>The English force, so please you.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech7><b>MACBETH</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=22>Take thy face hence.</A><br>
<p><i>Exit Servant</i></p>
<A NAME=23>Seyton!--I am sick at heart,</A><br>
<A NAME=24>When I behold--Seyton, I say!--This push</A><br>
<A NAME=25>Will cheer me ever, or disseat me now.</A><br>
<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>
<A NAME=32>Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not. Seyton!</A><br>
<p><i>Enter SEYTON</i></p>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech8><b>SEYTON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=33>What is your gracious pleasure?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech9><b>MACBETH</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=34>What news more?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech10><b>SEYTON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=35>All is confirm'd, my lord, which was reported.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech11><b>MACBETH</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=36>I'll fight till from my bones my flesh be hack'd.</A><br>
<A NAME=37>Give me my armour.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech12><b>SEYTON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=38>'Tis not needed yet.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech13><b>MACBETH</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=39>I'll put it on.</A><br>
<A NAME=40>Send out more horses; skirr the country round;</A><br>
<A NAME=41>Hang those that talk of fear. Give me mine armour.</A><br>
<A NAME=42>How does your patient, doctor?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech14><b>Doctor</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=43>Not so sick, my lord,</A><br>
<A NAME=44>As she is troubled with thick coming fancies,</A><br>
<A NAME=45>That keep her from her rest.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech15><b>MACBETH</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=46>Cure her of that.</A><br>
<A NAME=47>Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased,</A><br>
<A NAME=48>Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow,</A><br>
<A NAME=49>Raze out the written troubles of the brain</A><br>
<A NAME=50>And with some sweet oblivious antidote</A><br>
<A NAME=51>Cleanse the stuff'd bosom of that perilous stuff</A><br>
<A NAME=52>Which weighs upon the heart?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech16><b>Doctor</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=53>Therein the patient</A><br>
<A NAME=54>Must minister to himself.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech17><b>MACBETH</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=55>Throw physic to the dogs; I'll none of it.</A><br>
<A NAME=56>Come, put mine armour on; give me my staff.</A><br>
<A NAME=57>Seyton, send out. Doctor, the thanes fly from me.</A><br>
<A NAME=58>Come, sir, dispatch. If thou couldst, doctor, cast</A><br>
<A NAME=59>The water of my land, find her disease,</A><br>
<A NAME=60>And purge it to a sound and pristine health,</A><br>
<A NAME=61>I would applaud thee to the very echo,</A><br>
<A NAME=62>That should applaud again.--Pull't off, I say.--</A><br>
<A NAME=63>What rhubarb, cyme, or what purgative drug,</A><br>
<A NAME=64>Would scour these English hence? Hear'st thou of them?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech18><b>Doctor</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=65>Ay, my good lord; your royal preparation</A><br>
<A NAME=66>Makes us hear something.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech19><b>MACBETH</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=67>Bring it after me.</A><br>
<A NAME=68>I will not be afraid of death and bane,</A><br>
<A NAME=69>Till Birnam forest come to Dunsinane.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech20><b>Doctor</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=70>[Aside] Were I from Dunsinane away and clear,</A><br>
<A NAME=71>Profit again should hardly draw me here.</A><br>
