fled men must not walk too late the son of Duncan Malcom fled to the English Court in was received most sympathetically can you tell where Macduff bestows himself Macduff is gone to bid the English king to lend the soldiers led by warlike Seward and Seward's son that with the help of these we may again give to our tables meat sleep to our nights all which we've time for now let a swift blessing

mansion and his titles in a place from whence himself dust fly he loves us not he lacks the natural touch for the poor Wren the most diminutive of birds will fight her young ones in her nest against the owl old always the fear and nothing is the love as little is the wisdom where the flights of runs against all reason dearest coz I pray to school yourself but for your husband he is noble wise judicious and best knows the fits of the season I dare not speak much further but cruel are the times when we are traitors and do not know ourselves when we hold rumor from what we fear yet know not

defense to say I have done no harm where's your husband I hope you know please so I'm sanctified for such as good enough each new morn new widows howl new orphans cry new sorrows strike fair heaven on the face but it resounds as if it felt with Scotland what you have spoke it may be so perchance but this tyrant whose sole name blisters our tongues was once than honest you have loved him well we have not touched you yet I am young but something you may desire of him through me tis wisdom to offer up a weak poor innocent lamb to appease an angry god I am NOT treacherous like Macbeth is I would not be Dylan that thou think'st for the whole space that's in the tyrants grasp and the rich east to be not offended I speak not as in absolute fear of you I think our country sinks beneath the yoke it weeps it bleeds and each new day a gash is added to her wounds and I think with all there would be hands uplifted in my right and here from gracious England have I offer of goodly thousands but for all this when I shall tread upon the tyrants head or wear it on my sword yet my poor country shall have more vices than it had before nor suffer and more sundry ways than ever by him that shall succeed what should he be it is myself I mean in whom I know all the particulars of ice so grafted that when they shall be opened black Macbeth will seem as pure as snow and the poor status him as a lamb being compared with my confine --less harms not in the legions of horrid help can come a table more damned in evils to top Macbeth I grant him bloody luxurious avaricious false deceitful sudden malicious smacking of every sin that has a name but there's no bottom none in my voluptuousness your wives your daughters your matrons and your maids could not fill up a cistern of my lust and my desire all continent impediments would all bear that did oppose my will better macbeth than such a one to reign boundless in temperance in nature is a tyranny it been the untimely emptying of the happy throne and fall of many kings yet do not fear to take upon you what is yours you may convey your pleasures and a spacious plenty we have willing Dame's enough there cannot believe that vulture in you to devour so many as will to greatness dedicate themselves finding its so inclined with this there grows in my most ill composed affection such a staunch 'less avarice that were i king i should cut off the nobles for their lands desire his jewels and this others house and mine more having would be as a source to make me hunger more that I should Forge quarrels unjust against the good and loyal destroying them for well this avarice sticks deeper groves with more pernicious root in summer seeming lust and it had been a sword of our slain kings yet do not fear Scotland hath wealth enough to fill up your will all these are portable with other greasy suede but I have none the King becoming graces as justice Verity temperance stableness bounty perseverance mercy loveliness devotion patience courage fortitude I have no relish of memory but abound in the division of each several crime acting in many ways nay had I power I should pour the sweet milk of Concord into hell uproar the universal peace confound all unity Skull Kid such a one be fit to govern speak I am as I have spoken fit take up no not to live don't nation miserable with an untitled tyrant bloody sector when shall

their minds whose voices I desire aloud with mine hey King of Scotland we shall not spend a large expense of time before we reckon with your several loves and make us even with you what else remains to do which would be planted newly with the time as calling home our exiled friends abroad that fled the snares of watchful tyranny producing forth the cruel ministers of this dead butcher and his fiend-like queen who has his thought by self and violent hands took off her life this and what needful else calls upon us by the grace of grace we shall perform in measure time and place
