DUNCAN

　　So well thy words become thee as thy wounds;

　　They smack of honour both.Go get him surgeons.

　　[Exit Sergeant，attended]

　　Who comes here?

　　[Enter ROSS]

　　MALCOLM

　　The worthy thane of Ross.

　　LENNOX

　　What a haste looks through his eyes!So should he look

　　That seems to speak things strange.

　　ROSS

　　God save the king!

　　DUNCAN

　　Whence camest thou，worthy thane?

　　ROSS

　　From Fife，great king;

　　Where the Norweyan banners flout the sky

　　And fan our people cold.Norway himself，

　　With terrible numbers，

　　Assisted by that most disloyal traitor

　　The thane of Cawdor，began a dismal conflict;

　　Till that Bellona's bridegroom，lapp'd in proof，

　　Confronted him with self-comparisons，

　　Point against point rebellious，arm'gainst arm.

　　Curbing his lavish spirit：and，to conclude，

　　The victory fell on us.

　　DUNCAN

　　Great happiness!

　　ROSS

　　That now

　　Sweno，the Norways'king，craves composition：

　　Nor would we deign him burial of his men

　　Till he disbursed at Saint Colme's inch

　　Ten thousand dollars to our general use.

　　DUNCAN

　　No more that thane of Cawdor shall deceive

　　Our bosom interest：go pronounce his present death，

　　And with his former title greet Macbeth.

　　ROSS

　　I'll see it done.

　　DUNCAN

　　What he hath lost noble Macbeth hath won.

　　[Exeunt]
