Set on.įie, fie! unknit that threatening unkind brow,Īnd dart not scornful glances from those eyes, We will, according to your strengths and qualities, That lack of means enforce you not to evil:Īnd, as we hear you do reform yourselves, Till then, I banish thee, on pain of death,Īs I have done the rest of my misleaders,
Leave gormandizing know the grave doth gapeįor thee thrice wider than for other men.įor God doth know, so shall the world perceive,Īpproach me, and thou shalt be as thou wast, Make less thy body hence, and more thy grace
So surfeit-swell'd, so old and so profane īut, being awaked, I do despise my dream. I have long dream'd of such a kind of man, How ill white hairs become a fool and jester! I know thee not, old man: fall to thy prayers Must needs give sentence 'gainst the merchant there. Which if thou follow, this strict court of Venice Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy Īnd that same prayer doth teach us all to render That, in the course of justice, none of us Though justice be thy plea, consider this, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings Īnd earthly power doth then show likest God's His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The throned monarch better than his crown 'Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes It blesseth him that gives and him that takes: Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven That will take pains to blow a horn before her? What woman-post is this? hath she no husband Which, though I will not practise to deceive,įor it shall strew the footsteps of my rising.īut who comes in such haste in riding-robes? Sweet, sweet, sweet poison for the age's tooth: 'No, sir,' says question, 'I, sweet sir, at yours:'Īnd so, ere answer knows what question would,Īnd fits the mounting spirit like myself, 'O sir,' says answer, 'at your best command Īt your employment at your service, sir ' 'I shall beseech you'-that is question now Īnd then comes answer like an Absey book: My picked man of countries: 'My dear sir,' He and his toothpick at my worship's mess,Īnd when my knightly stomach is sufficed, 'Good den, sir Richard!'-'God-a-mercy, fellow!'-Īnd if his name be George, I'll call him Peter įor new-made honour doth forget men's names It is also the final match of the first round! It’s King John v. The line is "When shall we three meet again?" (emphasis added).Īnyway that is my report on MacBath. If we just take a moment to look at the first line of MerkBlarth, the whole thing is obviously about the number three. Jesus and his two powered-up forms or the water cycle or the rock cycle). Three is a very important number in human religion (e.g. If we take a moment to look at the larger play we find that the overall structure is that first witches curse MecBath, then MarkBerth becomes King of the castle, and finally Markbeth is slain in his mighty battlements moments after declaring that his "castle's strength will laugh a siege to scorn." There are three parts to the play, namely a beginning, a middle, and an end. The fact that there rae three apparitions here to confront MacBlarth is no coincidence. There is a scene in MacBethe where the king, MacBerth, is confronted by three very ghostly ghosts. If you make a covenant with some sexy witches and their mistress, you're gonna have that covenant forever. If you stab somebody, they are gonna be stabbed. One of the most important characters says that "what is done cannot be undone," and that is very true when it comes to human nature. Macbeth presents many thought provoking ideas about human nature, and my thoughts simply can't help but to be provoked, severely, when I read the very famous play known as MacBath.
