Lady Macbeth’s letter
All hail Macbeth, hail to thee, Thane of Glamis.
All hail Macbeth, hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor.
All hail Macbeth, that shalt be king here after.
I hail you my king and praise you my husband. I gladly accept this joyous news which was brought to you by, as Banquo put it ‘The Devil’. However my dear do not take notice of one who has been promised nothing but the success of his children and perhaps grandchildren. He, who shall die not, remembered. And when his body is laid in an unmarked grave, then eternity he shall have to think about what he could never be.
