Lady Macbeth: The
raven himself is hoarse
That croaks the fatal
entrance of Duncan
Under my battlements.
Come, you spirits
That tend on mortal
thoughts, unsex me here,
And fill me from the crown
to the toe top-full
Of direst
cruelty! Make think my blood
Stop up th’ access
and passage to remorse,
That no compunctious visiting
of nature
Shake my fell
purpose, nor keep peace between
the effect and it! Come to my woman’s breasts,
And take my milk for
gall, you murdering ministers
Wherever in your sightless
substances
You wait on nature’s
mischief! Come, thick night,
And oak the in the
dunnest smoke of hell,
That my keen knife
see not the would it makes
Nor heaven peep
through the blanket of the dark,
To cry “Hold, hold!’
(I.v.38-53)
