Summary, Analysis, and Original Text by Scene

Act III: Scene 4

ROSS.
Gentlemen, rise; his highness is not well.

LADY MACBETH.
Sit, worthy friends: — my lord is often thus,
And hath been from his youth: pray you, keep seat;
The fit is momentary; upon a thought

Feed, and regard him not. — Are you a man?

Led you to Duncan. O, these flaws, and starts, —
Impostors to true fear, — would well become
A woman's story at a winter's fire,
Authoriz'd by her grandam. Shame itself!
Why do you make such faces? When all's done,
You look but on a stool.

MACBETH.
Pr'ythee, see there! behold! look! lo! how say you? —
Why, what care I? If thou canst nod, speak too. —
If charnel houses and our graves must send
Those that we bury back, our monuments
Shall be the maws of kites.

[Ghost disappears.]

LADY MACBETH.
What, quite unmann'd in folly?
