Third App. Be lion-mettled, proud, and take no care[4354] 90
Who chafes, who frets, or where conspirers are:
Macbeth shall never vanquished be until
Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill[4355]
Shall come against him. [Descends.[4356]
Macb. That will never be:
Who can impress the forest, bid the tree 95
Unfix his earth-bound root? Sweet bodements! good!
Rebellion's head, rise never, till the wood[4357]
Of Birnam rise, and our high-placed Macbeth[4358]
Shall live the lease of nature, pay his breath
To time and mortal custom. Yet my heart[4359] 100
Throbs to know one thing: tell me, if your art
Can tell so much: shall Banquo's issue ever[4360]
Reign in this kingdom?
All. Seek to know no more.
Macb. I will be satisfied: deny me this,
And an eternal curse fall on you! Let me know:[4361][4362] 105
Why sinks that cauldron? and what noise is this?[4362]
[Hautboys.[4363]
First Witch. Show!
Sec. Witch. Show!
Third Witch. Show!
All. Show his eyes, and grieve his heart;[4359] 110
Come like shadows, so depart!
A show of eight Kings, the last with a glass in his hand; Banquo's Ghost following.[4364]
