Our bosom interest: go pronounce his

And with his former title greet Macbeth.’

thick my blood;
Stop up the access and
passage to remorse’
Lady Macbeth: ‘I would, while
it was smiling in my face,
Have pluck'd my nipple from
his boneless gums,
And dash'd the brains out,
had I so sworn as you Have
done to this.’

enterprise to me?
When you durst do it,
then you were a man’

died hereafter. There would
have been a time for such a
word.’

course. What’s he that was
not born of woman? Such a

weapons laugh to scorn,
brandished by man that’s of a
woman born.’

will have blood’

know, security is
mortals' chiefest
enemy.’
