DONALBAIN. To Ireland, I. Our separated fortune
Shall keep us both the safer. Where we are,
There's daggers in men's smiles. The near in blood,
The nearer bloody.

Hath not yet lighted, and our safest way

But shift away. There's warrant in that theft
Which steals itself when there's no mercy left.
