Here had we now our Countries Honor, roof'd, 1305Were the grac'd person of our Banquo present: Who, may I rather challenge for vnkindnesse, Then pitty for Mischance. Rosse. His absence (Sir) Layes blame vpon his promise. Pleas't your Highnesse 1310To grace vs with your Royall Company? Macb. The Table's full. Lenox. Heere is a place reseru'd Sir. Macb. Where? Lenox. Heere my good Lord. 1315What is't that moues your Highnesse? Macb. Which of you haue done this? Lords. What, my good Lord? Macb. Thou canst not say I did it: neuer shake Thy goarylockes at me. 1320Rosse. Gentlemen rise, his Highnesse is not well. Lady. Sit worthy Friends: my Lord is often thus, And hath beene from his youth. Pray you keepe Seat, The fit is momentary, vpon a thought He will againe be well. If much you note him 1325You shall offend him, and extend his Passion, Feed, and regard him not. Are you a man? Macb. I, and a bold one, that dare looke on that Which might appall the Diuell. La. O proper stuffe: 1330This is the very painting of your feare: This is the Ayre-drawne-Dagger which you said Led you to Duncan. O, these flawes and starts (Impostors to true feare) would well become A womans story, at a Winters fire 1335Authoriz'd by her Grandam: shame it selfe, Why do you make such faces? When all's done You looke but on a stoole.
