Please see the bottom of the page for helpful Macbeth resources.

ACT V SCENE VI Dunsinane. Before the castle. 
 Drum and colours. Enter MALCOLM, SIWARD, MACDUFF, and their Army, with boughs. 
MALCOLM Now near enough: your leafy screens throw down. 
 And show like those you are. You, worthy uncle, 
 Shall, with my cousin, your right-noble son, 
 Lead our first battle: worthy Macduff and we 5
 Shall take upon 's what else remains to do, 
 According to our order. 
SIWARD Fare you well. 
 Do we but find the tyrant's power to-night, 
 Let us be beaten, if we cannot fight. 10
MACDUFF Make all our trumpets speak; give them all breath, 
 Those clamorous harbingers of blood and death. 
 Exeunt 

Next: Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 7
