Extract from MACBETH

ACT III.
SCENE III. The same. A Park or Lawn, with a gate leading to the
Palace.
	[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.
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.
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.
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!
THIRD MURDERER.
	'Tis he.
FIRST MURDERER.
	Stand to't.
	[Enter Banquo, and Fleance with a torch.]
BANQUO.
	It will be rain to-night.
FIRST MURDERER.
	Let it come down.
	[Assaults Banquo.]
BANQUO.
	O, treachery! Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly!
	Thou mayst revenge.--O slave!
	[Dies. Fleance escapes.]
THIRD MURDERER.
	Who did strike out the light?
FIRST MURDERER.
	Was't not the way?
THIRD MURDERER.
	There's but one down: the son is fled.
SECOND MURDERER.
	We have lost best half of our affair.
FIRST MURDERER.
	Well, let's away, and say how much is done.
	[Exeunt.]
