MACBETH  3.3

		[Enter three Murderers]

First Murderer

But who did bid thee join with us?

Third Murderer

Macbeth.

Second Murderer		He needs not our mistrust, since he delivers
		Our offices and what we have to do
		To the direction just.	5

First Murderer		Then stand with us.
		The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day:
		Now spurs the lated traveller apace
		To gain the timely inn; and near approaches
		The subject of our watch.	10

Third Murderer

Hark! I hear horses.

BANQUO

[Within] Give us a light there, ho!

Second Murderer		Then 'tis he: the rest
		That are within the note of expectation
		Already are i' the court.	15

First Murderer

His horses go about.

Third Murderer		Almost a mile: but he does usually,
		So all men do, from hence to the palace gate
		Make it their walk.

Second Murderer		A light, a light!	20
		[Enter BANQUO, and FLEANCE with a torch]

Third Murderer

'Tis he.

First Murderer

Stand to't.

BANQUO

It will be rain to-night.

First Murderer		Let it come down.
		[They set upon BANQUO]

BANQUO		O, treachery! Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly!	25
		Thou mayst revenge. O slave!
		[Dies. FLEANCE escapes]

Third Murderer

Who did strike out the light?

First Murderer

Wast not the way?

Third Murderer

There's but one down; the son is fled.

Second Murderer		We have lost	30
		Best half of our affair.

First Murderer		Well, let's away, and say how much is done.
		[Exeunt]
