SCENE II.

Lady and Seaton.
LADY.
What now, good Seaton; what new ill hath chanc'd?

SEATON.
The wood of Birnam has begun to move.

LADY.
What says the king?

SEATON.
He was disturb with ire,
That men should say a thing so wry to nature;

144

Anon his choler fell, and he appear'd
Like some prime merchant, who receives the news
Of all his fortune perish'd in the waves.

LADY.
Alas, alas,—go, bid my maids attend.
The fiery fever thrills through all my frame,
And darts delirium to my tingling head.
