Now near enough; your leavy screens throw down,

And show like those you are. You, worthy uncle,

Shall, with my cousin, your right-noble son,

Lead our first battle; worthy Macduff and we

Shall take upon ’s what else remains to do,

According to our order.

Let us be beaten, if we cannot fight.

Make all our trumpets speak; give them all breath,

Those clamorous harbingers of blood and death.
