Enter MALCOLM, SIWARD and YOUNG SIWARD, MACDUFF, MENTEITH, CAITHNESS, ANGUS, LENNOX, ROSS, and Soldiers, marching MALCOLM       Cousins, I hope the days are near at hand       That chambers will be safe. MENTEITH       We doubt it nothing. SIWARD       What wood is this before us? MENTEITH 5     The wood of Birnam. MALCOLM       Let every soldier hew him down a bough       And bear't before him: thereby shall we shadow       The numbers of our host and make discovery       Err in report of us. Soldiers 10    It shall be done. SIWARD       We learn no other but the confident tyrant       Keeps still in Dunsinane, and will endure       Our setting down before 't. MALCOLM       'Tis his main hope: 15    For where there is advantage to be given,       Both more and less have given him the revolt,       And none serve with him but constrained things       Whose hearts are absent too. MACDUFF       Let our just censures 20    Attend the true event, and put we on       Industrious soldiership. SIWARD       The time approaches       That will with due decision make us know       What we shall say we have and what we owe. 25    Thoughts speculative their unsure hopes relate,       But certain issue strokes must arbitrate:       Towards which advance the war.
