     Restrain in me the cursèd thoughts that nature

     MACBETH

     A friend.

     BANQUO

     What, sir, not yet at rest? The king’s a-bed.

     Sent forth great largess to your offices.
     This diamond he greets your wife withal,
     By the name of most kind hostess, and shut up
     In measureless content.

     MACBETH

     Being unprepared,
     Our will became the servant to defect,
     Which else should free have wrought.

     BANQUO

     All’s well.

     I think not of them.

     If you shall cleave to my consent, when ’tis,
     25It shall make honor for you.

     BANQUO

     So I lose none
     In seeking to augment it, but still keep
     My bosom franchised and allegiance clear,
     I shall be counselled.

     Good repose the while!
