Macb.

Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest Chuck,

Till thou applaud the deed: Come, seeling Night,

Skarfe vp the tender Eye of pittifull Day,

And with thy bloodie and inuisible Hand

Cancell and teare to pieces that great Bond,

Which keepes me pale. Light thickens,

And the Crow makes Wing toth'Rookie Wood:

Good things of Day begin to droope, and drowse,

Whiles Nights black Agents to their Prey's doe rowse.

Thou maruell'st at my words: but hold thee still,

Things bad begun, make strong themselues by ill:

So prythee goe with me.
