 Drum and colours. Enter MALCOLM, SIWARD, MACDUFF, and their Army, with boughs  MALCOLM  Now near enough: your leafy screens throw down. 

 And show like those you are. You, worthy uncle, 

 Shall, with my cousin, your right-noble son, 

 Lead our first battle: worthy Macduff and we 

 Shall take upon 's what else remains to do, 

 According to our order. 

 SIWARD  Fare you well. 

 Do we but find the tyrant's power to-night, 

 Let us be beaten, if we cannot fight. 

 MACDUFF  Make all our trumpets speak; give them all breath, 

 Those clamorous harbingers of blood and death.
