Macbeth Flashcards
Brave Macbeth
- well he deserves that name
vaulting ambition,
which o’erleaps itself
come you spirits which
tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here and fill me…with direst cruelty
to be thus is
nothing: but to be safely thus
the very firstlings
of my heart shall be the firstlings of my hand
I will not yield,
to kiss the ground before young Malcolm’s feet
I conjure you
by that which you profess, though the yeasty waves confound and swallow navigation up
Instruments of
darkness tell us truths, win us with honest trifles to betray’s in deepest consequence
Is this a
dagger I see before me, the handle toward my hand
the night
has been unruly
a little water
clears us of this deed
o, full
of scorpions is my mind, dear wife
will all great
Neptune’s oceans wash this blood
all the perfumes
of arabia will not sweeten this little hand
chance may
crown me without my stir
all hail Macbeth,
that shalt be king hereafter
dearest partner
in greatness
unseamed him
from the nave to the chaps
be so much
more the man
to know my
deed, ‘twere best not know myself
‘never shake
thy gory locks at me
