Where our fate, hid in an auger hole,120
May rush and seize us? Let's away:
Our tears are not yet brewed.
MALCOLM [To Donalbain] Nor our strong sorrow 123 Upon the foot of motion.
BANQUO Look to the lady.
[Lady Macbeth is assisted out.]
124 And when we have our naked frailties hid, That suffer in exposure, let us meet
126 And question this most bloody piece of work, 127 To know it further. Fears and scruples shake us.
In the great hand of God I stand, and thence
129 Against the undivulged pretense I fight 130 Of treasonous malice.
MACDUFF And so do I.
ALL So all.
MACBETH
Let's briefly put on manly readiness
And meet i' th' hall together.
ALL Well contented.
Exeunt [all but Malcolm and Donalbain].
MALCOLM
What will you do? Let's not consort with them.
To show an unfelt sorrow is an office
Which the false man does easy. I'll to England.
DONALBAIN
To Ireland I. Our separated fortune
Shall keep us both the safer. Where we are
138 There's daggers in men's smiles; the near in blood, The nearer bloody.
MALCOLM This murderous shaft that's shot
140 Hath not yet lighted, and our safest way Is to avoid the aim. Therefore to horse,
142 And let us not be dainty of leave-taking But shift away. There's warrant in that theft143
Which steals itself when there's no mercy left.
Exeunt.
