Act 5, Scene 9

Malcolm addresses them.


"To all of you here, I’m indebted and repay now all that I owe

Kinsmen and thanes, I make earls now… the highest I can bestow

Exiled friends, the tyrant forced out to flee his snares and roam

Can return to live here amongst us… with warmth we welcome them home.


"Agents of the foul butcher’s rule… and of his fiendish queen

For their crimes, we will have justice… justice done… and be seen!

All this, and more, needs time and grace before our state is grown

As a founding step, I invite you all… to my crowning day at Scone."


FINI.
