Enter Macbeth.

Great Glamis! worthy Cawdor![3854]
Greater than both, by the all-hail hereafter!
Thy letters have transported me beyond 55
This ignorant present, and I feel now[3855]
The future in the instant.

Macb. My dearest love,[3856]
Duncan comes here to-night.

Lady M. And when goes hence?

Macb. To-morrow, as he purposes.

Lady M. O, never
Shall sun that morrow see![3857] 60
Your face, my thane, is as a book where men[3858]
May read strange matters. To beguile the time,[3859]
Look like the time; bear welcome in your eye,
Your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower,
But be the serpent under't. He that's coming 65
Must be provided for: and you shall put
This night's great business into my dispatch;
Which shall to all our nights and days to come
Give solely sovereign sway and masterdom.

Macb. We will speak further.

Lady Macb. Only look up clear; 70
To alter favour ever is to fear:[3860]
Leave all the rest to me. [Exeunt.

Scene VI. Before Macbeth's castle.[3861]

Hautboys and torches. Enter Duncan, Malcolm, Donalbain, Banquo, Lennox, Macduff, Ross, Angus, and Attendants.[3862]
