ALL
Fair is foul, and foul is fair.
Hover through the fog and filthy air.
Exeunt.
I.2Alarum within. Enter King [Duncan], Malcolm,
Donalbain, Lennox, with Attendants, meeting
a bleeding Captain.
KING DUNCAN
What bloody man is that? He can report,
As seemeth by his plight, of the revolt
3 The newest state.
MALCOLM This is the sergeant
Who like a good and hardy soldier fought
'Gainst my captivity. Hail, brave friend;
Say to the king the knowledge of the broil
As thou didst leave it.
CAPTAIN Doubtful it stood,
As two spent swimmers that do cling together
And choke their art. The merciless Macdonwald-
10 Worthy to be a rebel, for to that The multiplying villainies of nature
12 Do swarm upon him-from the Western Isles 13 Of kerns and galloglasses is supplied; And Fortune, on his damned quarrel smiling,
Showed like a rebel's whore. But all's too weak:
For brave Macbeth-well he deserves that name—
Disdaining Fortune, with his brandished steel,
Which smoked with bloody execution,
