"...but all's too weak: For brave Macbeth--well he deserves that name--Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel, Which smoked with bloody execution, Like valour's minion carved out his passage Till he faced the slave; Which ne'er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him, Till he unseem'd him from the nave to the chaps, And fix'd his head upon our battlements."

-Sergeant to Duncan & Malcolm
