48.                             To be thus is nothing;<\/span>
49.  But to be safely thus.–Our fears in Banquo<\/span>
50.  Stick deep; and in his royalty of nature<\/span>
51.  Reigns that which would be fear’d: ’tis much he dares;<\/span>
52.  And, to that dauntless temper of his mind,<\/span>
53.  He hath a wisdom that doth guide his valour<\/span>
54.  To act in safety. There is none but he<\/span>
55.  Whose being I do fear: and, under him,<\/span>
56.  My Genius is rebuked; as, it is said,<\/span>
57.  Mark Antony’s was by Caesar. He chid the sisters<\/span>
58.  When first they put the name of king upon me,<\/span>
59.  And bade them speak to him: then prophet-like<\/span>
60.  They hail’d him father to a line of kings:<\/span>
61.  Upon my head they placed a fruitless crown,<\/span>
62.  And put a barren sceptre in my gripe,<\/span>
63.  Thence to be wrench’d with an unlineal hand,<\/span>
64.  No son of mine succeeding. If ‘t be so,<\/span>
65.  For Banquo’s issue have I filed my mind;<\/span>
66.  For them the gracious Duncan have I murder’d;<\/span>
67.  Put rancours in the vessel of my peace<\/span>
68.  Only for them; and mine eternal jewel<\/span>
69.  Given to the common enemy of man,<\/span>
70.  To make them kings, the seed of Banquo kings!<\/span>
71.  Rather than so, come fate into the list.<\/span>
72.  And champion me to the utterance! Who’s there!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
