Shakespeare's Macbeth, Act 1, Scene 6, Duncan at Macbeth's Castle

Macbeth

ACT I SCENE VI	Before Macbeth's castle.
	Hautboys and torches. Enter DUNCAN, MALCOLM, DONALBAIN, BANQUO, LENNOX, MACDUFF, ROSS, ANGUS, and Attendants
DUNCAN	This castle hath a pleasant seat; the air
	Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself
	Unto our gentle senses.
BANQUO	This guest of summer,	5
	The temple-haunting martlet, does approve,
	By his loved mansionry, that the heaven's breath
	Smells wooingly here: no jutty, frieze,
	Buttress, nor coign of vantage, but this bird
	Hath made his pendent bed and procreant cradle:	10
	Where they most breed and haunt, I have observed,
	The air is delicate.
	Enter LADY MACBETH
DUNCAN	See, see, our honour'd hostess! The love that follows us sometime is our trouble, Which still we thank as love. Herein I teach you How you shall bid God 'ild us for your pains, And thank us for your trouble.
LADY MACBETH	All our service In every point twice done and then done double Were poor and single business to contend Against those honours deep and broad wherewith Your majesty loads our house: for those of old,
	And the late dignities heap'd up to them,
	We rest your hermits.
DUNCAN	Where's the thane of Cawdor?	25
	We coursed him at the heels, and had a purpose
	To be his purveyor: but he rides well;
	And his great love, sharp as his spur, hath holp him
	To his home before us. Fair and noble hostess,
	We are your guest to-night.	30
LADY MACBETH	Your servants ever Have theirs, themselves and what is theirs, in compt To make their audit at your highness' pleasure Still to return your own.
DUNCAN	Give me your hand;	35
	Conduct me to mine host: we love him highly,
	And shall continue our graces towards him.
	By your leave, hostess.
	Exeunt
