  5. Glamis, and thane of Cawdor: The greatest is behind. (1.3, 117-118) This supernatural soliciting Cannot be ill; cannot be good; if ill, Why hath it given me earnest of success, Commencing in a truth? I am thane of Cawdor: If good, why do I yield to that suggestion, Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair, And make my seated heart knock at my rids, Against the use of nature? Present fears Are less than horrible imaginings: (1.3, 130-138)

  7. “…as his host, Who should against his murderer shut the door, Not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been So clear in his great office, that his virtues Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongu’d against The deep damnation of his taking-off; I have no spur To prick the sides of my intent,” (1.7, 13-28) I am settled, and bend up Each corporal agent to this terrible feat. (1.7, 80-81)

  9. “Upon my head they plac’d a fruitless crown, And put a barren sceptre in my grip, Thence to be wrench’d with an unlineal hand, No son of mine succeeding. … Rather than so, come fate into the list, And champion me to the utterance!” (3.1, 61-72)
