What evidence from the text suggests that Macbeth is prepared to die?

a. "Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honor, breath / Which the poor heart would fain deny and dare not."
b. "This push / Will cheer me ever, or disseat me now. / I have lived long enough."
c. "I am sick at heart"
d. "And that which should accompany old age, / As honor, love, obedience, troops of friends, / I must not look to have"

Macbeth is saying that he should not seek (or "look to have") things that old people would usually have (things "which should accompany old age"), such "As honor, love, obedience, troops of friends," etc.
