Question

lennox:
my former speeches have but hit your thoughts,
which can interpret further: only, i say,
things have been strangely borne. gracious duncan
was pitied of macbeth: marry, he was dead:
and the right-valiant banquo walkd too late;
whom, you may say, ift please you, fleance killd,
for fleance fled: men must not walk too late.
who cannot want the thought how monstrous
it was for malcolm and for donalbain
to kill their gracious father? damned fact!
how it did grieve macbeth! did he not straight
in pious rage the two delinquents tear,
that were the slaves of drink and thralls of sleep?
was not that nobly done? ay, and wisely too;
for twould have angerd any heart alive
to hear the men denyt....

i hear macduff lives in disgrace: sir,
can you tell where he bestows himself?
