MACBETH. Seyton! -I am sick at heart, When I behold -Seyton, I say! - This push
Will cheer me ever, or disseat me now
I have lived long enough. My way of life
Is fall'n into the sere, the yellow leaf,
And that which should accompany old age.
As honor, love, obedience, troops of friends,
I must not look to have, but in their stead,
Curses, not loud but deep, mouth honor, breath
Which the poor heart would fain deny and dare not.
Seyton!

--William Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act V, scene ili
