LENNOX
, ,
My form|er speech|es,
, ,
,
Have | but hit | your thoughts
, 2
, , ,
,
Which can in|terpret | farther:| only | I say
,
2 , ,
, ,
Things have been | strangely | borne. The |
gracious | Duncan
, ,
, , 2
,
Was pit|ied of | Macbeth:| marry | he was dead:
2 , ,
2 ,
T T T
And the right | valiant | Banquo | walked too
late,
,
, 2 ,
, ,
Whom you | may say |(if it please | you) Fle|ance
killed,
,
, ,
, ,
For Fle|ance fled:| men must^|not* walk | too*
late.
,
, , T T
T
Who can|not want | the thought,| how monstrous
, ,
, ,
,
It was | for Mal|colm, and | for Don|albain
, ,
, ,
,
To kill | their gra|cious fath|er? damn|ed fact,
,
, ,
, ,
How it | did grieve | Macbeth?| Did^he | not
straight
,
, ,
, ,
In pi|ous rage,| the two | delin|quents tear,
, ,
, , ,
That were | the slaves | of drink,| and thralls |
of sleep?
, ,
, 2 , ,
Was not | that^nob|ly done?| Aye, and wise|ly too:
??
,
, ,
, ,
For 'twould | have ang|ered an|y heart | alive
,
, x ,
,
To hear | the men | deny it.| So that | I say,
2 ,
T T T ,
,
He has borne | all things well,| and I | do think,
, ,
, , ,
That had | he Dun|can's sons | under | his key
, 2
, x
, ,
(As, and it | please heaven / he shall | not)
they | should find
, ,
x ,
,
What 'twere | to kill | a father:| so should |
Fleance. ??
,
, , ,
,
But peace;| for from / broad words,| and 'cause |
he failed
,
, , ,
,
His pres|ence at | the tyr|ant's feast,| I hear
, ,
, ,
,
Macduff | lives in | disgrace.| Sir, can | you
tell
, 2
, ,
Where he be|stows him|self?
LORD
, ,
The | son of | Duncan
, ,
, ,
,
(From whom | this tyr|ant holds | the due | of
birth)
, ,
, , ,
Lives in | the Eng|lish court,| and is | received
, ,
, , ,
Of the / most pi|ous Ed|ward, with / such grace,
, 2
, , ,
,
That the ma|levo|lence of | fortune,| nothing
,
, ,
, ,
Takes from | his high | respect.| Thither | Macduff
,
, ,
, 3 3 ,
Is gone,| to pray | the ho|ly king,| upon his aid
??
,
, , . T T T
->
To wake | Northum|berland,| and warlike Si||ward,
, 2
, ,
, ,
That | by the help | of these |(with Him | above
, ,
, ,
,
To rat|ify | the work)| we may | again
,
, ,
, ,
Give to | our tab|les meat,| sleep to | our nights,
,
, , ,
,
Free from | our feasts,| and ban|quets bloo|dy
knives:
, ,
2 , , ,
Do faith|ful hom|age, and re/ceive free | honors,
, 2
T T T
, ,
All which we | pine for now.| and this | report
, ,
, ,
,
Hath so | exas|perate | the king,| that he
, 3 3
, ,
Prepares | for some attempt | of war.
LENNOX
, 2
,
Sent^he | to Macduff?
LORD
, ,
, 2 , ,
He did:| and with | an abs|olute Sir,| not I
, ,
, , ,
The clou|dy mes|senger | turns me | his back,
, , ,
, ,
And hums;| as who | should say,| you'll rue | the
time
, ,
, 2
That clogs | me with | this ans|wer.
LENNOX
, ,
And that | well* might
, ,
2 , ,
, 2->
Advise | him to a | caution,| to hold | what
dis||tance
, ,
, , , ->
His wis|dom can | provide.| Some ho|ly an||gel
, 2
, ,
, ,
Fly | to the court | of Eng|land, and | unfold
,
, ,
2 , ,
His mes|sage ere | he come,| that a swift | blessing
, ,
, , 2
, ->
May soon | return | to this | our suf|fering
coun||try,
, 2 ,
,
Und|er a hand | accursed.
LORD
,
, ,
I'll send | my prayers | with him. (tri with prev)
