Have you considered of my speeches? Know
That it was he, in the times past, which held you
78 So under fortune, which you thought had been Our innocent self. This I made good to you
80 In our last conference, passed in probation with you 81 How you were borne in hand, how crossed; the instruments; 82 Who wrought with them; and all things else that might 83 To half a soul and to a notion crazed Say "Thus did Banquo."
FIRST MURDERER You made it known to us.
MACBETH
I did so; and went further, which is now
Our point of second meeting. Do you find86
Your patience so predominant in your nature
That you can let this go? Are you so gospeled88
To pray for this good man and for his issue,
Whose heavy hand hath bowed you to the grave90
And beggared yours forever?91
FIRST MURDERER We are men, my liege.
MACBETH
Ay, in the catalogue ye go for men,92
As hounds and greyhounds, mongrels, spaniels, curs,93
Shoughs, waterrugs, and demiwolves are clept94
All by the name of dogs. The valued file95
Distinguishes the swift, the slow, the subtle,
The housekeeper, the hunter, every one97
According to the gift which bounteous nature
Hath in him closed, whereby he does receive99
Particular addition, from the bill100
That writes them all alike; and so of men.
Now, if you have a station in the file,102
Not i' th' worst rank of manhood, say't;
And I will put that business in your bosoms104
Whose execution takes your enemy off,105
Grapples you to the heart and love of us,
