Dialogue

Macbeth: "There's one did laugh in 's sleep, and one cried 'Murder!'
That they did wake each other. I stood and heard them
But they did say their prayers, and addressed them
Again to sleep...
One cried 'God bless us!' and 'Amen' the other,
As they had seen me with these hangman's hands." (II.ii.28).
