First Mur.
But who did bid thee join with us?

Third Mur.
Macbeth.

Sec. Mur.
He needs not our ^{note note} mistrust; since he delivers
Our offices, and what we have to do,
To the direction just. ^note

First Mur.
Then stand with us.
The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day:
Now spurs the lated ^note traveller apace
To gain the timely inn, and ^note near ^note approaches
The subject of our watch.

Third Mur.
Hark! I hear horses.

Ban. [Within]
Give us a light ^note there, ho!

Sec. Mur.
Then 'tis he ^note: the rest
That are ^note within the note of expectation ^note
Already ^note are i' the court.

First Mur.
His horses go about. ^note

Third Mur.
Almost a mile: but he does usually—
So all men do—from ^note hence to the palace gate
Make it their walk.

Sec. Mur.
A light, a light! Enter ^note Banquo, and Fleance ^note with a torch.

Third Mur.
'Tis he.

First Mur.
Stand to 't. ^note

Ban.
It will be ^note rain to-night.

First Mur.
Let it come down. [They ^note set upon Banquo.

Ban.
O, treachery! Fly, good ^note Fleance, fly, fly, fly! ^note
Thou mayst revenge. O slave! [Dies ^note. Fleance escapes.

Third Mur.
Who did strike out the light?

First Mur.
Was't not the way?

Third Mur.
There's but one down; the son is fled ^note.

Sec. Mur.
We have ^note lost ^note
Best half of our affair.

First Mur.
Well, let's away and say how much is done. [Exeunt.
