MALCOLM
Now near enough. Your leafy screens throw down,
And show like those you are.—You, worthy uncle,
Shall, with my cousin, your right-noble son,
Lead our first battle. Worthy Macduff and we
Shall take upon ’s what else remains to do,
According to our order.
|
MALCOLM
We’re close enough now. Throw down these branches and
show them who you really are. Uncle Siward, you and your son will
lead the first battle. Brave Macduff and I will do the rest,
according to our battle plan.

SIWARD
Fare you well.
Do we but find the tyrant’s power tonight,
Let us be beaten if we cannot fight.
|
SIWARD
Good luck. If we meet Macbeth’s army tonight, let us be
beaten if we cannot fight.

MACDUFF
Make all our trumpets speak; give them all breath,
Those clamorous harbingers of blood and death.
|
MACDUFF
Blow all the trumpets. They loudly announce the news of blood and
death.
|
Exeunt |
They exit. |
