Stick deep; and in his royalty of nature
Reigns that which would be fear’d: ‘tis much he dares;
And, to that dauntless temper of

Thor: Excuse me, but to whom doth thou speakest?

Macbeth: (turning to Thor) Excuse me.

Thor: A thousand pardons.

Macbeth: (turning back to the invisible audience)
And, to that dauntless temper of his mind,
He hath a wisdom that doth guide his valor
To act in safety. There is none but he

Rather than so, come fate into the list.
And champion me to the utterance! Who’s there!

Thor: It is still I…

Macbeth: Oh, yes. Right. Well, good sir, farewell until we meet again…

Macbeth: (addressing the invisible audience)
Away, and mock the time with fairest show:
False face must hide what

Thor (from afar): I can still hear you.

Macbeth: Goodbye, dear friend!
