Out, out, brief candle! / Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player / That struts and frets his hour upon the stage / And then is heard no more. It is a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing.

42
We shall not spend a large expense of time / Before we reckon with your several loves / And make us even with you. My thanes and kinsmen, / Henceforth be earls, the first that ever Scotland / In such an honor named. What's more to do, / Which would be planted newly with the time, / As calling home our exiled friends abroad / That fled the snares of watchful tyranny, / Producing forth the cruel ministers / Of this dead butcher and his fiendlike queen, / Who, as 'tis thought, by self and violent hands / Took off her life—this, and what needful else / That calls upon us, by the grace of Heaven, / We will perform in measure, time, and place. / So thanks to all at once and to each one, / Whom we invite to see us crowned at Scone.
Malcolm
