MALCOLM With this, there grows 77 In my most ill-composed affection such 78 A stanchless avarice that, were I king, 79 I should cut off the nobles for their lands, 80 Desire his jewels and this other's house: 81 And my more-having would be as a sauce 82 To make me hunger more; that I should forge 83 Quarrels unjust against the good and loyal, 84 Destroying them for wealth. MACDUFF This avarice 85 Sticks deeper, grows with more pernicious root 86 Than summer-seeming lust, and it hath been 87 The sword of our slain kings. Yet do not fear; 88 Scotland hath foisons to fill up your will 89 Of your mere own. All these are portable, 90 With other graces weigh'd. MALCOLM 91 But I have none. The king-becoming graces, 92 As justice, verity, temperance, stableness, 93 Bounty, perseverance, mercy, lowliness, 94 Devotion, patience, courage, fortitude, 95 I have no relish of them, but abound 96 In the division of each several crime, 97 Acting it many ways. Nay, had I power, I should 98 Pour the sweet milk of concord into hell, 99 Uproar the universal peace, confound 100 All unity on earth. MACDUFF O Scotland, Scotland! MALCOLM
