The Only Use of
lament
in
Macbeth
- The night has been unruly: where we lay,
Our chimneys were blown down: and, as they say,
Lamentings heard i' the air, strange screams of death;
And prophesying, with accents terrible,
Of dire combustion and confused events,
New hatched to the woeful time: the obscure bird
Clamoured the live-long night; some say the earth
Was feverous, and did shake.†p. 65.4
