Scene II] Macbeth 61 

Second Murderer. We shall, my lord. 

Perform what you command us. 
First Murderer. Though our lives — 

Macbeth. Your spirits shine through you. 

Within this hour at most 
I will advise you where to plant yourselves, 
Acquaint you with the perfect spy o' the time, 
The moment on't ; f or't must be done to-night, 130 

And something from the palace ; always thought 
That I require a clearness : and with him — 
To leave no rubs nor botches in the work — 
Fleance his son, that keeps him company, 
Whose absence is no less material to me 
Than is his father's, must embrace the fate 
Of that dark hour. Resolve yourselves apart: 
I'll come to you anon. 

Both Murderers. We are resolv'd, my lord. 

Macbeth. I'll call upon you straight : abide 

within. [Exeunt Murderers. i 40 

It is concluded : Banquo, thy soul's flight, 
If it find heaven, must find it out to-night. [Exit.
