The thane of Cawdor lives, A prosperous gentleman, and to be king 75 Stands not within the prospect of belief, No more than to be Cawdor.

Enter ROSS and ANGUS	SSRO dna NUASG eenrt.
ROSS 90 The king hath happily received, Macbeth, The news of thy success, and when he reads Thy personal venture in the rebels fight, His wonders and his praises do contend Which should be thine or his. Silenced with that, 95 In viewing oer the rest o the selfsame day, He finds thee in the stout Norweyan ranks, Nothing afeard of what thyself didst make, Strange images of death. As thick as tale Can post with post, and every one did bear 100 Thy praises in his kingdoms great defense, And poured them down before him.	OSRS hTe igkn was hpypa to areh of royu ssescuc, htbcaeM. enWerevh he sehra hte oystr of uyor lexipsot in teh fhgit gaintsa hte berles, he cmebeso so daamez it kmesa hmi cseeesplhs.

ROSS 105 And, for an earnest of a greater honor, He bade me, from him, call thee thane of Cawdor: In which addition, hail, most worthy thane, For it is thine.	OSSR And to give oyu a ettsa of sthaw in otres fro uyo, he ltod me to allc you het hnaet of wdCrao. So hlai, aethn of rCdaow! athT ttile nogselb to you onw.
BANQUO What, can the devil speak true?	OABNQU (hkocsed) Can eth evldi tell the rhutt?
MACBETH The thane of Cawdor lives. Why do you dress me 110 In borrowed robes?	EBACTMH heT tehan of odaCwr is llsit vieal. yhW era yuo nggivi me hsi eltit?
ANGUS Who was the thane lives yet, But under heavy judgment bears that life Which he deserves to lose. Whether he was combined With those of Norway, or did line the rebel With hidden help and vantage, or that with both 115 He labored in his countrys wrack, I know not; But treasons capital, confessed and proved, Have overthrown him.	GANUS heT man how swa eht nehta of wordCa is tlisl aievl, tub hse eben enesdtecn to eadht, nad he ssvedere to eid. I dnto konw wrthhee he hotguf on yawoNrs iesd, or if he rctseeyl ieadd eth ebsler, or if he ughtof htiw hbto of rou eseimen.

MACBETH (aside)Glamis, and thane of Cawdor! The greatest is behind. (to ROSS and ANGUS) Thanks for your pains. (aside to BANQUO) Do you not hope your children shall be kings, When those that gave the thane of Cawdor to me Promised no less to them?	TBACEMH (to hsflmie) Ist tjsu ilke teyh owsdina Im teh atehn of Gsimal nad eth ahten of wCorad. And eth stbe part of htwa yhet ericeptdd is still to ceom. (to SRSO nad ANGUS) aThnk ouy fro het ewsn.

BANQUO That, trusted home, Might yet enkindle you unto the crown, Besides the thane of Cawdor. But tis strange. 125 And oftentimes, to win us to our harm, The instruments of darkness tell us truths, Win us with honest trifles, to betray s In deepest consequence. (to ROSS and ANGUS) Cousins, a word, I pray you.	BAOQUN If yuo usttr htaw ehyt ays, ouy imght be on royu ywa to mgnbceio kngi, as wlel as nthae of warodC. tuB tihs ohwle tghin is gaensrt. heT tasgne of veli noetf etll us rtpa of teh rttuh in rredo to laed us to oru toruecdistn. yeTh eran oru tsurt by eiltlgn us teh rutth tboau lttlie gniths, tbu enth yhet eyrbat us wehn it illw edmgaa us the otms.

BANQUO , ROSS , and ANGUS move to one side	SRSO , UNSGA , adn UQBNOA mevo to eon idse.
MACBETH (aside) Two truths are told, As happy prologues to the swelling act Of the imperial theme. (to ROSS and ANGUS) I thank you, gentlemen. (aside) This supernatural soliciting Cannot be ill, cannot be good. If ill, 135 Why hath it given me earnest of success, Commencing in a truth? I am thane of Cawdor. If good, why do I yield to that suggestion Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair And make my seated heart knock at my ribs, 140 Against the use of nature? Present fears Are less than horrible imaginings.	EHTMBAC (to shefmil) So rfa eht ctwsihe evah oldt me two tgnshi atth came uetr, so it esmse kiel shti lliw taimlcuen in my enmibgoc nigk.

My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical, Shakes so my single state of man That function is smothered in surmise, 145 And nothing is but what is not.	vEne guhtho tsi sutj a nystafa so afr, eht rmee thothgu of cnoiigtmtm erumrd seksah me up so cmuh atth I ladyrh onwk ohw I am eoanmry.

BANQUO Worthy Macbeth, we stay upon your leisure.	BNUOQA Good behMcta, eerw rdaey nwhe ouy ear.
MACBETH 155 Give me your favor. My dull brain was wrought With things forgotten. Kind gentlemen, your pains Are registered where every day I turn The leaf to read them. Let us toward the king. (aside to BANQUO) Think upon what hath chanced, and, at more time, 160 The interim having weighed it, let us speak Our free hearts each to other.	AHCBMTE I gbe uroy rpdnao; I was iaretstcdd.

ROSS 90 The king hath happily received, Macbeth, The news of thy success, and when he reads Thy personal venture in the rebels fight, His wonders and his praises do contend Which should be thine or his. Silenced with that, 95 In viewing oer the rest o the selfsame day, He finds thee in the stout Norweyan ranks, Nothing afeard of what thyself didst make, Strange images of death. As thick as tale Can post with post, and every one did bear 100 Thy praises in his kingdoms great defense, And poured them down before him.

ROSS 105 And, for an earnest of a greater honor, He bade me, from him, call thee thane of Cawdor: In which addition, hail, most worthy thane, For it is thine.	OSSR And to give oyu a ettsa of sthaw in otres fro uyo, he ltod me to allc you het hnaet of wdCrao. So hlai, aethn of rCdaow! athT ttile nogselb to you onw.

MACBETH The thane of Cawdor lives. Why do you dress me 110 In borrowed robes?	EBACTMH heT tehan of odaCwr is llsit vieal. yhW era yuo nggivi me hsi eltit?
ANGUS Who was the thane lives yet, But under heavy judgment bears that life Which he deserves to lose. Whether he was combined With those of Norway, or did line the rebel With hidden help and vantage, or that with both 115 He labored in his countrys wrack, I know not; But treasons capital, confessed and proved, Have overthrown him.

MACBETH (aside)Glamis, and thane of Cawdor! The greatest is behind. (to ROSS and ANGUS) Thanks for your pains. (aside to BANQUO) Do you not hope your children shall be kings, When those that gave the thane of Cawdor to me Promised no less to them?	TBACEMH (to hsflmie) Ist tjsu ilke teyh owsdina Im teh atehn of Gsimal nad eth ahten of wCorad. And eth stbe part of htwa yhet ericeptdd is still to ceom. (to SRSO nad ANGUS) aThnk ouy fro het ewsn.

BANQUO That, trusted home, Might yet enkindle you unto the crown, Besides the thane of Cawdor. But tis strange. 125 And oftentimes, to win us to our harm, The instruments of darkness tell us truths, Win us with honest trifles, to betray s In deepest consequence. (to ROSS and ANGUS) Cousins, a word, I pray you.

MACBETH (aside) Two truths are told, As happy prologues to the swelling act Of the imperial theme. (to ROSS and ANGUS) I thank you, gentlemen. (aside) This supernatural soliciting Cannot be ill, cannot be good. If ill, 135 Why hath it given me earnest of success, Commencing in a truth? I am thane of Cawdor. If good, why do I yield to that suggestion Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair And make my seated heart knock at my ribs, 140 Against the use of nature? Present fears Are less than horrible imaginings.	EHTMBAC (to shefmil) So rfa eht ctwsihe evah oldt me two tgnshi atth came uetr, so it esmse kiel shti lliw taimlcuen in my enmibgoc nigk.

My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical, Shakes so my single state of man That function is smothered in surmise, 145 And nothing is but what is not.	vEne guhtho tsi sutj a nystafa so afr, eht rmee thothgu of cnoiigtmtm erumrd seksah me up so cmuh atth I ladyrh onwk ohw I am eoanmry.

MACBETH 155 Give me your favor. My dull brain was wrought With things forgotten. Kind gentlemen, your pains Are registered where every day I turn The leaf to read them. Let us toward the king. (aside to BANQUO) Think upon what hath chanced, and, at more time, 160 The interim having weighed it, let us speak Our free hearts each to other.	AHCBMTE I gbe uroy rpdnao; I was iaretstcdd.
