1.
Out, damned spot! Out, I say!…Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?
2.
Those he commands move only in command,
Nothing in love. Now does he feel his title
Hang loose about him, like a giant’s robe
Upon a dwarfish thief.
3.
Were I from Dunsinane away and clear,
Profit again should hardly draw me here.
4.
Let every soldier hew him down a bough
And bear’t before him. Thereby shall we shadow
The numbers of our host, and make discovery
Err in report of us.
5.
Out, out, brief candle!
6.
Tyrant, show thy face!
If thou be’st slain and with no stroke of mine,
My wife and children’s ghosts will haunt me still.
7.
Turn, hell-hound, turn!
8.
Despair thy charm,
And let the angel whom thou still hast served
Tell thee, Macduff was from his mother’s womb
Untimely ripped.
9.
Lay on, Macduff,
And damned be him that first cries “Hold, enough!”
10.
Hail, King I for so thou art; behold, where stands
Th’ usurper’s cursed head. The time is free.
Macbeth fights Macduff, scene from the 1971 Roman Polanski film
