II. 1. 24. After this line Jennens proposes to add the following to Banquo's speech:
'Those lookers into fate, that hail'd you, Cawdor!
Did also hail you, king! and I do trust,
Most worthy Thane, you would consent to accept
What your deserts would grace, when offer'd you.'
Note IV.
II. 2. 35, 36. In the Folios and the earlier editors it is not clear from the mode of printing where the words of the 'voice' ended. Hanmer printed the whole in italics down to 'life's feast' in line 40, omitting however line 37 with Pope. Johnson was the first to print only the words 'Sleep no more! Macbeth doth murther sleep' as the cry of the voice, supposing the remainder to be Macbeth's comment. In lines 42, 43, where the printing of the earlier editions is equally indecisive, Hanmer prints from 'Glamis' to 'Macbeth shall sleep no more' in italics, while Johnson prints only 'Glamis hath murder'd sleep' as the cry of the voice.

Whose loves I may not drop: and thence it is, &c.'
Note VI.
III. 2. 29-35. In these lines we have followed the arrangement of Steevens (1793), which with the exception of the fourth and fifth lines is the same as that of the Folios. The Folios divide the fourth and fifth lines thus:
