Macbeth
Attend his majesty.
LADY MACBETH A kind good night to all.
Exeunt Lords.
MACBETH
It will have blood, they say: blood will have blood.
Stones have been known to move and trees to speak;
Augurs and understood relations have125
By maggotpies and choughs and rooks brought forth126
The secret'st man of blood. What is the night?127
LADY MACBETH
Almost at odds with morning, which is which.
MACBETH
How sayst thou, that Macduff denies his person
At our great bidding?130
LADY MACBETH
Did you send to him, sir?
MACBETH
I hear it by the way; but I will send.131
There's not a one of them but in his house
I keep a servant fee'd. I will tomorrow,133
And betimes I will, to the weird sisters.134
More shall they speak, for now I am bent to know135
By the worst means the worst. For mine own good
All causes shall give way. I am in blood
Stepped in so far that, should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o'er.
140 Strange things I have in head, that will to hand, 141 Which must be acted ere they may be scanned.
LADY MACBETH
142 You lack the season of all natures, sleep.
MACBETH
