Well here's the ice-breaker. I think it goes with a swing, particularly with the addition of the chorus. Macbeth is in tartan of course.
Will Power
(Enter Macbeth and Chorus)
I have lost all my swagger; I sway and I stagger
Whenever a dagger appears on the scene.
Is it solid and clutchable? No – an untouchable
Dream of a dagger! So what does it mean?
He is hardly a bragger so what does it mean?
This illusion (no drunk ‘un) means curtains for Duncan.
He’s properly sunk and it’s time for Macbeth.
He will sleep with the fishes in line with my wishes.
A couple of swishes should do him to death.
He is bold and ambitious; it points to a death!
It’s a vision I swear, it’s not palpably there,
It’s a dagger of air, it’s a species of ghost.
And a bell out there pealing, increases the feeling
That murder is stealing and Duncan is toast.
He is clearly revealing poor Duncan is toast!
