ACT III IT
Scene I IT
Enter Banquo.
BANQUO
Thou hast it now: King, Cawdor, Glamis, all
As the weird women promised; and I fear
Thou playedst most foully for’t. Yet it was said
It should not stand in thy posterity
But that myself should be the root and father
Of many kings. If there come truth from them,
As upon thee, Macbeth, their speeches shine,
Why by the verities on thee made good
May they not be my oracles as well
And set me up in hope? But hush! No more. [10]
Sennet sounded. Enter Macbeth as King, Lady Macbeth, Lennox, Ross,
Lords, and Attendants.
MACBETH
Here’s our chief guest.
LADY
If he had been forgotten
It had been as a gap in our great feast
And all-thing unbecoming.
MACBETH
Tonight we hold a solemn supper, sir,
And I’ll request your presence.
