The murderers go to Macbeth’s castle and inform him that they killed Banquo, however they did not kill Fleance. Macbeth then says that Fleance is fearless to him but there will be a time where he will need to kill him.
MACBETHThen comes my fit again. I had else been perfect,Whole as the marble, founded as the rock,As broad and general as the casing air.But now I am cabined, cribbed, confined, bound inTo saucy doubts and fears.—But Banquo’s safe?FIRST MURDERERAy, my good lord. Safe in a ditch he bides,With twenty trenchèd gashes on his head,The least a death to nature.MACBETHThanks for that.There the grown serpent lies. The worm that’s fledHath nature that in time will venom breed;No teeth for th’ present. Get thee gone. TomorrowWe’ll hear ourselves again.

LADY MACBETHSit, worthy friends. My lord is often thusAnd hath been from his youth. Pray you, keep seat.The fit is momentary; upon a thoughtHe will again be well. If much you note him,You shall offend him and extend his passion.Feed and regard him not. (aside to MACBETH) Are you a man?
