John Singer Sargent
The raven
himself is hoarse
That croaks
the fatal entrance of Duncan
Under my
battlements. Come, you spirits
That tend
on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,
And fill me
from the crown to the toe top-full
Of direst
cruelty. Make thick my blood,
Stop up
th’access and passage to remorse,
That no
compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my
fell purpose, nor keep peace between
Th’ effect
and it. Come to my woman’s breasts,
And take my
milk for gall, you murd’ring ministers,
Wherever in
your sightless substances
You wait on
nature’s mischief. Come, thick night,
And pall
thee in the dunnest smoke of hell,
That my
keen knife see not the wound it makes,
Nor heaven
peep through the blanket of the dark,
To cry
‘Hold, hold!’

Sorry I'm late, Miss but, nice one!
as long as you are fashionably late duffers! I snuck in without any fanfare.
