MACBETH

[186]. The poet’s eye. A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act V. 1. your only tragedy-maker. It would be better to italicise only ‘tragedy’; the reference is probably to Hamlet, III. 2, ‘your only jig-maker.’ the air [heaven’s breath] smells wooingly and the temple-haunting martlet builds [does approve by his loved mansionry], Act I. 6. [187]. the blasted heath, Act I. 3. air-drawn dagger, Act III. 4. gracious Duncan, Act III. 1. blood-boultered Banquo, Act IV. 1. What are these, Act I. 3. bends up, Act I. 7. The deed [The attempt and not the deed confounds us], Act II. 2. preter [super] natural solicitings, Act I. 3. [188]. Bring forth and screw his courage, Act I. 7. lost so poorly and a little water, Act II. 2. the sides of his intent, Act I. 7. for their future days and his fatal entrance, Act I. 5. Come all you spirits, Act I. 5. [189]. Duncan comes there, Act I. 5. The two following quotations in the text are in the same scene. Mrs. Siddons. Sarah Siddons (1755–1831). It was as Lady Macbeth that Mrs. Siddons made her ‘last’ appearance on the stage, June 29, 1812. She returned occasionally, and Hazlitt saw her act the part at Covent Garden, June 7, 1817. See note to p. 156, and also Hazlitt’s A View of the English Stage. [190]. There is no art, Act I. 4. How goes the night, Act II. 1. Light thickens, Act III. 2–3. [191]. So fair and foul, Act I. 3. Such welcome and unwelcome news together [things at once] and Men’s lives, Act IV. 3. Look like the innocent flower, Act I. 5. To him and all [all and him], Avaunt, and himself again, Act III. 4. he may sleep, Act IV. 1. Then be thou jocund, Act III. 2. Had he not resembled, Act II. 2. they should be women, and in deeper consequence, Act I. 3. [192]. Why stands Macbeth, Act IV. 1. the milk of human kindness, Act I. 5. himself alone. The Third Part of King Henry VI., Act V. 6. For Banquo’s issue, Act III. 1.
