Whence cam'st thou, worthy thane? |
|
| DUNCAN |
|
Where have you come from, worthy thane? |
|
| | ROSS |
| |
From
Fife, great king, |
| |
Where the Norweyan banners flout the sky |
| 50 |
And fan our people cold. |
| |
Norway himself, with terrible numbers, |
| |
Assisted by that most disloyal traitor, |
| |
The thane of Cawdor, began a dismal conflict, |
| |
Till that Bellona's bridegroom, lapped in proof, |
| 55 |
Confronted him with self-comparisons, |
| |
Point against point, rebellious arm 'gainst arm, |
| |
Curbing his lavish spirit; and to conclude, |
| |
The victory fell on us. |
|
| ROSS |
|
Great king, I've come from Fife, where the Norwegian flag
flies, mocking our country and frightening our people. Leading an
enormous army and assisted by that disloyal traitor, the thane of
Cawdor, the king of Norway began a bloody battle. But outfitted in
his battle-weathered armor, Macbeth met the Norwegian attacks shot
for shot, as if he were the goddess of war's husband.
Finally he broke the enemy's spirit, and we were
victorious. |

| |
That
now |
| |
Sweno, the Norways' king, craves composition. |
| 60 |
Nor would we deign him burial of his men |
| |
Till he disbursed at Saint Colme's Inch |
| |
Ten thousand dollars to our general use. |
|
| ROSS |
|
So now Sweno, the Norwegian king, wants a treaty. We told him we
wouldn't even let him bury his men until he retreated to
Saint Colme's Inch and paid us ten thousand dollars. |
|
| | DUNCAN |
| |
No more that thane of Cawdor shall deceive |
| |
Our bosom interest: go pronounce his present death, |
| 65 |
And with his former title greet Macbeth. |
|
| DUNCAN |
|
The thane of Cawdor will never again betray me. Go announce that
he will be executed, and tell Macbeth that Cawdor's titles
will be given to him. |
|
|
| ROSS |
|
I'll get it done right away. |
|
| | DUNCAN |
| |
What he hath lost, noble Macbeth hath won. |
|
| DUNCAN |
|
The thane of Cawdor has lost what the noble Macbeth has
won. |
