William Shakespeare


Dunsinane. Before the castle.

Drum and colours. Enter MALCOLM, SIWARD, MACDUFF, and their Army, with boughs

    MALOCOM
Now near enough: your leafy screens throw down.
And show like those you are.—You, worthy uncle,
Shall, with my cousin, your right-noble son,
Lead our first battle: worthy Macduff and we
Shall take upon ’s what else remains to do,
According to our order.

    SIWARD
                        Fare you well.—
Do we but find the tyrant’s power to-night,
Let us be beaten, if we cannot fight.

    MACDUFF
Make all our trumpets speak; give them all breath,
Those clamorous harbingers of blood and death.

[Exeunt
