MalcolmxMacduff - BL Shakespearedom

Act 6, Scene 1

Enter Malcolm and Macduff in warm rejoice

MALCOLM

Oh how 'joyful am I,

Haunted by the fear of Macbeth's sins nevermore!

Though the fight was long, 'tis now over.

MACDUFF

Over it is, my king. And still

Under your direct command shall I remain,

Forever passionate, and deliberately yours-

MALCOLM

And with you by my side,

My One for now and always.

Though content am I, my heart

Yearns for my fraternal counterpart,

Forever unsatisfied without familial reunion of heart.

We would make a powerful duo, Donalbain and I,

Ruling as kings together until our final breaths.

MACDUFF

Doth thou imply a prolonged leave?

MALCOLM

That they do, my good sir.

But to you, I assure my quick return, as

Fate will resolve the lingering residue of Macbeth's cursèd tricks.

All exit

Act 6, Scene 2

Enter Donalbain, Three Witches, and Hecate with Hecate and the witches hidden from Donalbain

DONALBAIN

The day is young-yet how old it does feel!

Future's hopeful new but masking Past's grim old.

Donalbain paces, deep in thought

Nonetheless, patience must be valued,

For patience is all that's at my disposal

'Til Macbeth, his darkened heart rued,

is removed from this world,

Thus reviving the once pure character of Scotland.

Hecate's Party murmurs in the distance

Oh, but what do I hear?

Voices estranged, from which should I refrain?

Eerie, perilous, elusive, and dangerous as they sound,

Yet dissonance can sometimes entice, can it not?

Hecate's Party schemes louder

HECATE'S PARTY

Double, double, toil and trouble,

Quadrupled is our power, 'guised behind rubble,

With Cawdor's Thane, now no more,

Let's spark mischief to a-many's abhor!

Hecate's Party continues to murmur louder to Donalbain's surprise
