I'll come to you anon.
MURDERERS We are resolved, my lord.
MACBETH
I'll call upon you straight. Abide within.140
It is concluded. Banquo, thy soul's flight,
If it find heaven, must find it out tonight.
Exeunt.
III.2Enter Macbeth's Lady and a Servant.
LADY MACBETH
Is Banquo gone from court?
SERVANT
Ay, madam, but returns again tonight.
LADY MACBETH
Say to the king I would attend his leisure
For a few words.
SERVANT Madam, I will.
Exit.
LADY MACBETH
Nought's had, all's spent,
Where our desire is got without content.
'Tis safer to be that which we destroy
Than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy.
Enter Macbeth.
How now, my lord? Why do you keep alone,
Of sorriest fancies your companions making,10
Using those thoughts which should indeed have died
12 With them they think on? Things without all remedy Should be without regard. What's done is done.
MACBETH
14 We have scorched the snake, not killed it.
15 She'll close and be herself, whilst our poor malice Remains in danger of her former tooth.
