              THIRD MURDERER
               There’s but one down; the son is fled.



              SECOND MURDERER
                               We have lost [20]
               Best half of our affair.



              FIRST MURDERER
               Well, let’s away and say how much is done.
                                                                                                        Exeunt.




                                                    Scene IV         IT


              Banquet prepared. Enter Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, Ross, Lennox, Lords, and
                                                      Attendants.



              MACBETH
               You know your own degrees, sit down. At first

               And last, the hearty welcome.



              LORDS
                               Thanks to your majesty.



              MACBETH
               Ourself will mingle with society
               And play the humble host.


                                             He walks around the tables.

               Our hostess keeps her state; but in best time
               We will require her welcome.



              LADY
               Pronounce it for me, sir, to all our friends,
               For my heart speaks they are welcome.
