The Eng|lish power | is near,| led^on | by Mal||colm,
, x , ,
,
His | uncle Si/ward, and | the good | Macduff.
,
, ,
. T T T
->
Reven|ges burn | in them:| for their dear caus||es
, 2 , ,
, ,
Would | to the bleed|ing, and | the grim | alarm
, , 2 ,
Excite | the mort|ified man.
ANGUS
, ,
Near Birn|am wood
2 ,
, ,
, ,
Shall we well | meet them,| that way | are they |
coming.
CAITHNESS

, , 2 ,
Who knows | if Don|albain | be with his |
brother?
LENNOX
, ,
2 , ,
,
For cert|ain sir,| he is not:| I have | a file
, ,
, ,
,
Of all | the gent|ry; there | is Si|ward's son,
, ,
, , ,
And ma|ny un|rough^youths,| that ev|en now
, ,
, 2
Protest | their first | of man|hood.
MENTEITH

What does | the ty||rant.
CAITHNESS

2 ,
, ,
Great | Dunsinane*| he strong|ly fort|ifies:
??
, 2
, , ,
,
Some say* he's | mad: oth/ers, that | lesser | hate him,
x
, 2 , ,
,
Do call it | valiant | fury,| but for | certain
, , ,
, ,
He can|not buck|le his | distemp|ered cause
, ,
,
Within | the belt | of rule.
ANGUS
, ,
Now does | he feel
, ,
, ,
,
His sec|ret murd|ers stick|ing on | his
hands,
, , 2
, T . T T
Now mi|nutely re|volts up|braid his faith-breach:
,
, , ,
,
Those he | commands,| move on|ly in | command,
,
, , 2
, ,
Nothing | in love:| now does he | feel his |
title
T T .
T
, ,
,
Hang loose about | him, like | a gi|ant's robe
,
, ,
Upon | a dwarf|ish thief.
MENTEITH
, ,
Who then | shall blame
,
, , ,
,
His pest|ered sens|es to | recoil,| and start,
, ,
, ,
,
When all | that is | within | him, does | condemn
,
, ,
Itself,| for be|ing there.
CAITHNESS
, ,
Well*, march | we on,
, , 2
, , ,
To give | obed|ience, where |'tis tru|ly owed:
, , 2 ,
, ,
Meet we | the med|icine of | the sick|ly weal,
, , , ,
,
And with | him pour | we in | our count|ry's
purge,
T T . T
Each drop of us.
LENNOX

Or so | much^as | it needs,
, , x ,
,
To dew | the sove|reign flower,| and drown | the
weeds:
,
, , ,
oo
Make we | our march | towards | Birnam.|
