| But Makbeth beeing once determined to haue the worke go forwarde, caused the Thanes of eche shire within the Realme, to come and helpe towardes that building . . . At the last when the turne fell unto Makduffe Thane of Fife to buylde his part, he sent workmen with all needfull prouision, and commaunded them to shew suche diligence in euery behalfe, that no occasion might be giuen for the king to finde fault with him; in that he came not himselfe as other had done . . . Shortly after, Makbeth comming to behold howe the worke went forwarde, and bycause hee found not Makduffe there, he was sore offended, and sayde, I perceyue this man will neuer obey my commaundements, till he be rydden with a snaffle, but I shal prouide well ynough for him . . . |
