(A short distance from the palace. Enter two murderers)

1st Murderer: The last light of day is going in the west Now Banquo must be near and riding fast.

2nd Murderer: Listen! I hear horses.

1st Murderer: It’s Banquo then, and Fleance. Now they’ve stopped.

Banquo: (Off-stage, to his servants)

Ho! Give me a light there. Take the horses.

2nd Murderer: That’s Banquo’s voice. The last part of the journey’s made on foot along this narrow path.

(Enter Banquo and Fleance, with a light)

1st Murderer: Look! A light, a light! It’s them!

2nd Murderer: Quiet! Wait until they pass us.

Banquo: (To Fleance) I think that it will rain tonight.

1st Murderer: Let it come down!

(The murderers stab Banquo, who falls down)

Banquo: Oh, traitors! Run, good Fleance, run! Revenge! Revenge!

(Banquo dies and Fleance runs away)

2nd Murderer: Who put out the light?

1st Murderer: Banquo is killed, but his son’s escaped. 2nd Murderer: Then our job is not complete.

1st Murderer: We’ll leave the body here and tell Macbeth what’s done, what’s left undone.

(Exit murderers)
