Son. Why should I, mother? Poor birds they are not set for.[4404][4405]
My father is not dead, for all your saying.[4404][4406]

L. Macd. Yes, he is dead: how wilt thou do for a father?[4404][4407]

Son. Nay, how will you do for a husband?[4404]

L. Macd. Why, I can buy me twenty at any market.[4404] 40

Son. Then you'll buy 'em to sell again.[4404][4408]

L. Macd. Thou speak'st with all thy wit, and yet, i' faith,[4404][4409][4410]
With wit enough for thee.[4404][4410]

Son. Was my father a traitor, mother?

L. Macd. Ay, that he was. 45

Son. What is a traitor?

L. Macd. Why, one that swears and lies.
