No man: The expedition my violent love Outrun the pauser, reason.

Fears and scruples shake us: In the great hand of God I stand; and thence Against the undivulged pretence I fight Of treasonous malice. ALL So all. ALL Well contented. Exeunt all but Malcolm and Donalbain. Here comes the good Macduff. ROSS Alas, the day! What good could they pretend? Lest our old robes sit easier than our new! ROSS Farewell, father.
