BANQUO

                               Very gladly.



              MACBETH
               Till then, enough! − Come, friends.
                                                                                                        Exeunt.



                                                    Scene IV         IT



              Flourish. Enter King Duncan, Lennox, Malcolm, Donalbain, and Attendants.



              KING
               Is execution done on Cawdor?
               Are not those in commission yet returned?



              MALCOLM
               My liege,
               They are not yet come back. But I have spoke

               With one that saw him die, who did report
               That very frankly he confessed his treasons,
               Implored your highness’ pardon, and set forth
               A deep repentance. Nothing in his life

               Became him like the leaving it. He died
               As one that had been studied in his death [10]
               To throw away the dearest thing he owed
               As’twere a careless trifle.



              KING
                               There’s no art

               To find the mind’s construction in the face.
               He was a gentleman on whom I built
               An absolute trust.


                                    Enter Macbeth, Banquo, Ross, and Angus.



                               O worthiest cousin!

               The sin of my ingratitude even now
