Macbeth
[I, 1]

All

13

Fair is foul, and foul is fair:
Hover through the fog and filthy air.

Macbeth

Macbeth

138

So foul and fair a day I have not seen.

Macbeth
[IV, 3]

Malcolm

1863

But Macbeth is.
A good and virtuous nature may recoil
In an imperial charge. But I shall crave
your pardon;
That which you are my thoughts cannot transpose:
Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell;
Though all things foul would wear the brows of grace,
Yet grace must still look so.

Macbeth
[V, 1]

Doctor

2194

Foul whisperings are abroad: unnatural deeds
Do breed unnatural troubles: infected minds
To their deaf pillows will discharge their secrets:
More needs she the divine than the physician.
God, God forgive us all! Look after her;
Remove from her the means of all annoyance,
And still keep eyes upon her. So, good night:
My mind she has mated, and amazed my sight.
I think, but dare not speak.
