Scena Tertia.

Enter three Murtherers.
1.
But who did bid thee ioyne with vs?

3.
Macbeth.

2.
He needes not our mistrust, since he deliuers
Our Offices, and what we haue to doe,
To the direction iust.

1.
Then stand with vs:
The West yet glimmers with some streakes of Day.
Now spurres the lated Traueller apace,
To gayne the timely Inne, end neere approches
The subiect of our Watch.

3.
Hearke, I heare Horses.

Banquo
within.
Giue vs a Light there, hoa.

2.
Then 'tis hee:
The rest, that are within the note of expectation,
Alreadie are i'th' Court.

1.
His Horses goe about.

3.
Almost a mile: but he does vsually,
So all men doe, from hence toth' Pallace Gate
Make it their Walke.

Enter Banquo and Fleans, with a Torch.
2.
A Light, a Light.

3.
'Tis hee.

1.
Stand too't.

Ban.
It will be Rayne to Night.

1.
Let it come downe.

Ban.
O, Trecherie!
Flye good Fleans, flye, flye, flye,
Thou may'st reuenge. O Slaue!

3.
Who did strike out the Light?

1.
Was't not the way?

3.
There's but one downe: the Sonne is fled.

2.
We haue lost
Best halfe of our Affaire.

1.
Well, let's away, and say how much is done.

Exeunt.
