Macbeth, V. i

Doct. Do you mark that?

Lady M. The Thane of Fife had a wife:

where is she now? What! will these hands ne'er

be clean? No more o' that, my lord, no more

o' that: you mar all with this starting.

Doct. Go to, go to; you have known what

you should not.

Gent. She has spoke what she should not, I

am sure of that: Heaven knows what she has

known.

Lady M. Here's the smell of the blood still:

all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this

little hand. Oh! oh! oh!

Doct. What a sigh is there! The heart is

sorely charged.

Gent. I would not have such a heart in my

bosom for the dignity of the whole body.

Doct. Well, well, well.

Gent. Pray God it be, sir.

Doct. This disease is beyond my practice:

yet I have known those which have walked in

their sleep who have died holily in their beds.

Lady M. Wash your hands, put on your

night-gown; look not so pale. I tell you yet

again, Banquo's buried; he cannot come out

on 's grave.

Doct. Even so?

Lady M. To bed, to bed: there's knocking

at the gate. Come, come, come, come, give me

your hand. What's done cannot be undone.

To bed, to bed, to bed.
