Macbeth

Macbeth

ACT III SCENE III	A park near the palace.
	Enter three Murderers
First Murderer	But who did bid thee join with us?
Third Murderer	Macbeth.
Second Murderer	He needs not our mistrust, since he delivers
	Our offices and what we have to do	5
	To the direction just.
First Murderer	Then stand with us.
	The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day:
	Now spurs the lated traveller apace
	To gain the timely inn; and near approaches	10
	The subject of our watch.
Third Murderer	Hark! I hear horses.
BANQUO	Within
Second Murderer	Then 'tis he: the rest
	That are within the note of expectation
	Already are i' the court.	15
First Murderer	His horses go about.
Third Murderer	Almost a mile: but he does usually,
	So all men do, from hence to the palace gate
	Make it their walk.
Second Murderer	A light, a light!	20
	Enter BANQUO, and FLEANCE with a torch
Third Murderer	'Tis he.
First Murderer	Stand to't.
BANQUO	It will be rain to-night.
First Murderer	Let it come down.
	They set upon BANQUO
BANQUO	O, treachery! Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly!	25
	Thou mayst revenge. O slave!
	Dies. FLEANCE escapes
Third Murderer	Who did strike out the light?
First Murderer	Wast not the way?
Third Murderer	There's but one down; the son is fled.
Second Murderer	We have lost	30
	Best half of our affair.
First Murderer	Well, let's away, and say how much is done.
	Exeunt
