Conduct me to mine host.
We love him highly and shall
continue our graces towards him.
If it were done when 'tis done,
then 'twere well it were done quickly.
If the assassination could
trammel up the consequence...
... and catch,
with his surcease, success.
That but this blow might be
the be-all and the end-all here.
But here, upon this bank
and shoal of time...
... we'd jump the life to come.
Health to this household!
But in these cases,
we still have judgement here...
... that we but teach
bloody instructions...
... which, being taught,
return to plague the inventor.
He's here in double trust.
First, as I am his kinsman
and his subject...
... strong both against the deed.
Then as his host...
...who should against his murderer shut
the door, not bear the knife myself.
Besides, this Duncan hath borne
his faculties so meek...
... hath been so clear
in his great office...
... that his virtues will plead
like angels, trumpet-tongued...
... against the deep damnation
of his taking-off.
And pity, like a newborn babe striding
the blast, or heaven's cherubin...
... horsed upon the sightless couriers
of the air, shall blow...
... the horrid deed in every eye,
that tears shall drown the wind.
I have no spur to prick
the sides of my intent.
But only vaulting ambition...
...which o'erleaps itself
- Why have you left the chamber?
- Hath he asked for me?
Know you not he has?
We will proceed no further
in this business.
He hath honoured me of late.
And I have bought golden opinions
from all sorts of people...
...which would be worn in their newest
gloss, not cast aside so soon.
Was the hope drunk,
wherein you dressed yourself?
Hath it slept since?
And wakes it now to look so green
and pale at what it did so freely?
From this time
such I account thy love.
Art thou afeard to be the same
in act as in desire?
Prithee, peace.
Wouldst thou live a coward, letting
"I dare not" wait upon "I would"?
Like the poor cat in the adage?
I dare do all that may become a man.
Who dares do more is none.
What beast was it then, that made you
break this enterprise to me?
When you durst do it,
then you were a man.
To be more than what you were,
you would be so much more the man.
Hail, Thane of Cawdor.
If we should fail?
We fail.
the sticking-place and we'll not fail.
Duncan's two chamberlains
will I with wine so convince...
...that memory, the warder
of the brain, shall be a fume.
I'll drug their possets.
When in swinish sleep their drenched
natures lie as in a death...
...what cannot you and I perform
upon the unguarded Duncan?
Bring forth men-children only...
