64 Macbeth [Act in 

Lady Macbeth. What's to be done? 

Macbeth. Be innocent of the knowledge, dear- 
est chuck, 
Till thou applaud the deed. Come, seeling night, 
Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day, 
And with thy bloody and invisible hand 
Cancel and tear to pieces that great bond 
Which keeps me pale! Light thickens, and the 
crow 50 

Makes wing to the rooky wood : 
Good things of day begin to droop and drowse, 
Whiles night's black agents to their preys do rouse 
Thou marvell'st at my words, but hold thee still : 
Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill: 
So, prithee, go with me. [Exeunt.

Murder Scene 

Scene III. A park near the palace 
Enter three Murderers 

First Murderer. But who did bid thee join with 

us? 
Third Murderer. Macbeth. 

Second Murderer. He needs not our mistrust ; 
since he delivers 
Our offices, and what we have to do, 
To the direction just. 

First Murderer. Then stand with us.
