Hail, King of Scotland!

Scene 8

Answer 7

My thanes and kinsmen,
Henceforth be earls, the first that ever Scotland
In such an honor named. What’s more 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 fiendlike Queen,
Who, as ‘tis thought, by self and violent hands
Took off her life - this, and what needful else
That calls upon us, by the grace of Grace
We will perform in measure, time, and place.
So thanks to all at once and to each one
Whom we invite to see us crowned at Scone.
