THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH

Act 5 Scene 7

(Enter Macbeth)
l1l	Macbeth	 They have tied me to a stake. I cannot fly,
l2l		But bear-like I must fight the course. What’s he
l3l		That was not born of woman? Such a one
l4l		Am I to fear, or none.
		(Enter Young Siward)
l5l	Young Siward	 What is thy name?
l6l	Macbeth	Thou’lt be afraid to hear it.
l7l	Young Siward	No, though thou call’st thyself a hotter name
l8l		Than any is in hell.
	Macbeth	My name’s Macbeth.
l9l	Young Siward	The devil himself could not pronounce a title
l10l		More hateful to mine ear.
	Macbeth	No, nor more fearful.
l11l	Young Siward	Thou liest, abhorrèd tyrant. With my sword
l12l		I’ll prove the lie thou speak’st.
		(They fight, and Young Siward is slain)
		
	Macbeth	 Thou wast born of woman,
l13l		But swords I smile at, weapons laugh to scorn,
l14l		Brandished by man that’s of a woman born.
		(Exit with the body)
