Scene IV. Forres. The palace 

Flourish. Enter Duncan, Malcolm, Donal- 
dain, Lennox, and Attendants 

Duncan. Is execution done on Cawdor? Are 
not 
Those in commission yet return'd? 

Malcolm. My liege, 

They are not yet come back. But I have spoke 
With one that saw him die, who did report 
That very frankly he confess'd his treasons, 
Implor'd your highness' pardon, and set forth 
A deep repentance. Nothing in his life 
Became him like the leaving it ; he died 
As one that had been studied in his death, 
To throw away the dearest thing he owed 10 

As 't were a careless trifle. 

Duncan. There's no art 

To find the mind's construction in the face: 
He was a gentleman on whom I built 
An absolute trust. — 

Enter Macbeth, Banquo, Ross, and Angus 
O worthiest cousin ! 
11-14. Why is this speech a keynote?
