[Flame] 🔥 William Shakespeare - Macbeth Act 3 Scene 3 Lyrics
SCENE III . A park near the palace .
Enter three Murderers
FIRST MURDERER
But who did bid thee join with us?
THIRD MURDERER
Macbeth.
SECOND MURDERER
He needs not our mistrust , since he delivers
Our offices and what we have to do
To the direction just .
FIRST MURDERER
Then stand with us.
The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day:
Now spurs the lated traveller apace
To gain the timely inn; and near approaches
The subject of our watch.
THIRD MURDERER
Hark! I hear horses.
BANQUO
[Within] Give us a light there, ho!
SECOND MURDERER
Then ’tis he: the rest
That are within the note of expectation
Already are i’ the court .
FIRST MURDERER
His horses go about.
THIRD MURDERER
Almost a mile: but he does usually,
So all men do, from hence to the palace gate
Make it their walk.
SECOND MURDERER
A light, a light!
Enter BANQUO, and FLEANCE with a torch
THIRD MURDERER
‘Tis he.
FIRST MURDERER
Stand to’t.
BANQUO
It will be rain to-night.
FIRST MURDERER
Let it come down.
They set upon BANQUO
BANQUO
O, treachery! Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly!
Thou mayst revenge. O slave!
Dies . FLEANCE escapes
THIRD MURDERER
Who did strike out the light?
FIRST MURDERER
Wast not the way?
THIRD MURDERER
There’s but one down; the son is fled.
SECOND MURDERER
We have lost
Best half of our affair.
FIRST MURDERER
Well, let’s away, and say how much is done .
Exeunt
