soliloquy
1. Thou hast it now: king, Cawdor, Glamis, all, 1. _______2.
_________3._________
As the weird women promised, and,
I fear,
Thou play'dst most foully for't:
yet it was said
It should not stand in thy posterity,
But that myself should be the
root and father
Of many kings.
2 Then comes my fit again: I had else been perfect, 1. _______2. _________3._________
Whole as the marble, founded as
the rock,
As broad and general as the casing
air:
But now I am cabin'd, cribb'd,
confined, bound in
To saucy doubts and fears.
3. There the grown serpent lies; the worm that's fled 1._______2._________3._________
Hath nature that in time will
venom breed,
No teeth for the present.
4. For mine own good, 1. _______2. ________3._________
All causes shall give way: I am
in blood
Stepp'd in so far that, should
I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go
o'er:
5. That will never be 1. _______2. _________3._________
Who can impress the forest, bid
the tree
Unfix his earth-bound root? Sweet
bodements! good!
Rebellion's head, rise never till
the wood
Of Birnam rise, and our high-placed
Macbeth
Shall live the lease of nature,
pay his breath
To time and mortal custom.
6. Whither should I fly? 1. _______2. _________3._________
I have done no harm. But I remember
now
I am in this earthly world; where
to do harm
Is often laudable, to do good
sometime
Accounted dangerous folly: why
then, alas,
Do I put up that womanly defence,
To say I have done no harm?
7. This tyrant, whose sole name blisters our tongues,1. ______2._________3._________
Was once thought honest:
8. I think our country sinks beneath the yoke; 1. _______2. _________3._________
It weeps, it bleeds; and each
new day a gash
Is added to her wounds:
9. Nay, had I power, I should 1. _______2. _________3._________
Pour the sweet milk of concord
into hell,
Uproar the universal peace, confound
All unity on earth.
10. Foul whisperings are abroad: unnatural deeds 1. _______2. _________3._________
Do breed unnatural troubles: infected
minds
To their deaf pillows will discharge
their secrets:
More needs she the divine than
the physician.
11. Now does he feel 1. _______2. _________3._________
His secret murders sticking on
his hands;
Now minutely revolts upbraid his
faith-breach;
Those he commands move only in
command,
Nothing in love: now does he feel
his title
Hang loose about him, like a giant's
robe
Upon a dwarfish thief.
12. To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, 1. _______2. _________3._________
Creeps in this petty pace from
day to day
To the last syllable of recorded
time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted
fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out,
brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a
poor player
That struts and frets his hour
upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it
is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound
and fury,
Signifying nothing.
