life to come.But in these casesWe still have judgment here;that we but teachBloody instructions,which,being taught,returnTo plague the inventor:this even-handed justiceCommends the ingredients of our poison'd chaliceTo our own lips.He's here in double trust;First,as Iam his kinsman and his subject,Strong both against the deed;then,as his host,Who should against his murderer shut the door,Not bear the knife myself.Besides,this DuncanHath borne his faculties so meek,hath beenSo clear in his great office,that his virtuesWill plead like angels,trumpet-tongued,againstThe deep damnation of his taking-off;And pity,like a naked new-born babe,Striding the blast,or heaven's cherubim,horsedUpon the sightless couriers of the air,Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye,That tears shall drown the
