Macbeth - Page 27

He could not miss 'em. Had he not resembled

My father as he slept, I had done't.

Enter Macbeth [with two bloody daggers]. My husband!

MACBETH

I have done the deed. Didst thou not hear a noise?

LADY MACBETH

I heard the owl scream and the crickets cry.

Did not you speak?

MACBETH When?

LADY MACBETH Now.

MACBETH As I descended?

LADY MACBETH Ay.20

MACBETH Hark! Who lies i' th' second chamber?

LADY MACBETH Donalbain.

MACBETH This is a sorry sight.

LADY MACBETH

A foolish thought to say a sorry sight.

MACBETH

There's one did laugh in's sleep, and one cried "Murder!"

26 That they did wake each other. I stood and heard them.

27 But they did say their prayers and addressed them Again to sleep.

LADY MACBETH There are two lodged together.

MACBETH

One cried "God bless us" and "Amen" the other,

30 As they had seen me with these hangman's hands.

List'ning their fear, I could not say "Amen"

When they did say "God bless us."

LADY MACBETH Consider it not so deeply.

MACBETH

But wherefore could not I pronounce "Amen"?
