Why then, God's soldier be he!
Had I as many sons as I have hairs,
I would not wish them to a fairer death:
And

so,

his knell is knoll’d. MAL.

He's worth more sorrow, And that I'll spend for him. Siw.

Re-enter MacDUFF, with MACBETH's head.
Macd. Hail, king! for so thou art : behold

where stands
The usurper's cursed head: the time is free:
I see thee compass’d with thy kingdom's pearl,
That speak my salutation in their minds;
Whose voices I desire aloud with mine:
Hail, King of Scotland !

ALL. Hail, King of Scotland! [Flourish.
Mal. We shall not spend a large expense of

time
Before we reckon with your several loves,
And make us even with you.

My thanes and kinsmen, Henceforth be earls, the first that ever Scotland In such an honour named. What's more to do, Which would be planted newly with the time, As calling home our exiled friends abroad That fled the snares of watchful tyranny;

Who, as 'tis thought, by self and violent hands
Took off her life; this, and what needful else
That calls upon us,

of Grace, We will perform in measure, time and place : So, thanks to all at once and to each one, Whom we invite to see us crown'd at Scone.

[Flourish Exeunt.
