Come! Hurry! I wish to light a fire in your cold heart! I shall give you the courage to carry out this bold undertaking. The prophetesses promise you the throne of Scotland. Why delay? Accept the gift, mount the throne and reign.
A servant enters.
SERVANT The King will come here this evening.
LADY MACBETH What? Is Macbeth with him?
SERVANT He is accompanying him. My lady, the news is certain.
LADY MACBETH Let him find a reception which a king deserves.
The servant goes out.
LADY MACBETH Duncan will be here? Here? Spend the night here? Arise, all the agents of hell that rouse mortals to bloody acts! Night, wrap us In motionless darkness. Do not let the knife see The breast which it strikes.
