Macb. Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck, 45
Till thou applaud the deed. Come, seeling night,[4177]
Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day,
And with thy bloody and invisible hand
Cancel and tear to pieces that great bond
Which keeps me pale! Light thickens, and the crow[4178][4179] 50
Makes wing to the rooky wood:[4179][4180]
Good things of day begin to droop and drowse,
Whiles night's black agents to their preys do rouse.[4181]
Thou marvell'st at my words: but hold thee still;
Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill: 55
So, prithee, go with me. [Exeunt.
Scene III. A park near the palace.[4182]
Enter three Murderers.
First Mur. But who did bid thee join with us?
Third Mur. Macbeth.
Sec. Mur. He needs not our mistrust; since he delivers[4183]
Our offices, and what we have to do,
To the direction just.[4184]
First Mur. Then stand with us.[4184]
The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day: 5
Now spurs the lated traveller apace[4185]
To gain the timely inn, and near approaches[4186]
The subject of our watch.
Third Mur. Hark! I hear horses.
Ban. [Within] Give us a light there, ho!
Sec. Mur. Then 'tis he: the rest[4187][4188][4189]
That are within the note of expectation[4188][4189][4190] 10
Already are i' the court.[4188][4191]
