I believe drink gave thee the lie last night.

PORTER
That it did, sir, i’the very throat on me. But I requited him for his lie and, I
think, being too strong for him, though he took up my legs sometime, yet I
made a shift to cast him.

MACDUFF
Is thy master stirring?

Enter Macbeth.
Our knocking has awaked him; here he comes. [40]

LENNOX
Good morrow, noble sir.

MACBETH
Good morrow both.

MACDUFF
Is the King stirring, worthy thane?

MACBETH
Not yet.

MACDUFF
He did command me to call timely on him.

I have almost slipped the hour.

MACBETH
I’ll bring you to him.

MACDUFF
I know this is a joyful trouble to you,
But yet ’tis one.

MACBETH
