MACBETH Blood hath been shed ere now, i th olden time, Ere humane statute purged the gentle weal; 80 Ay, and since too, murders have been performed Too terrible for the ear. The time has been That, when the brains were out, the man would die, And there an end. But now they rise again With twenty mortal murders on their crowns 85 And push us from our stools.

Or be alive again, And dare me to the desert with thy sword. If trembling I inhabit then, protest me 110 The baby of a girl. Hence, horrible shadow! Unreal mockery, hence!

I will tomorrow And betimes I willto the weird sisters. 140 More shall they speak, for now I am bent to know, By the worst means, the worst. For mine own good, All causes shall give way.
