SCENE IV.

MACBETH.
He cows my spirit, like the midnight owl,
The fatal prophet of the battlements,
That in his airy cloister overhears
The cloud-carr'd angels, hailing, as they pass
On dismal purposes of destiny.—
Oh what avails all regal exhibition,
While fest'ring in my bosom lies, the guilt
Of Duncan's blood, and Banquo's feller doom.
118

The priestly benediction, and the oil,
Nor all the ritual of the stone at Scoone
Can charm my eyes to innocent repose.
