ACT 5, SCENE 2 (part B/D) Flashcards
Macbeth: “ Take thy face hence. Seyton!—I am sick at heart when I behold—Seyton, I say!—This push will cheer me ever or disseat me now. I have lived long enough: my way of life is fall’n into the sere, the yellow leaf, and that which should accompany old age — Seyton!”
“What is your gracious pleasure?”
Macbeth: “What news more?”
“All is confirm’d, my lord, which was reported.”
Macbeth: “I’ll fight till from my bones my felsh be hack’d. give me my armour.”
“‘Tis not needed yet”
Macbeth: “What is that noise?”
“It is the cry of women, my good lord”
Macbeth: “I have almost forgot the taste of fears. The time has been my senses would have cooled to hear a night-shriek, and my fell of hair would at a dismal treatise rouse and stir as life were in ’t. I have supped full with horrors. direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts, cannot once start me. Wherefore was that cry?”
“The queen, my lord, is dead”
Macbeth: “ She should have died hereafter. There would have been a time for such a word. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time, and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
“Gracious my lord, I should report that which I say I saw, but know not how to do it.”
Macbeth: “Well, say, sir.”
Anon, methought, the wood began to move.”
Macbeth: “Liar and slave!”
“Within this three mile may you see it coming, I say, a moving grove.”
