Is execution done on Cawdor?

Duncan
Is execution done on Cawdor? Are not
Those in commission yet returned?
Malcolm
My liege,
They are not yet come back. But I have spoke
With one that saw him die, who did report
That very frankly he confessed his treasons,
Implored your Highness' pardon, and set forth
A deep repentance.

There's no art
To find the mind's construction in the face.
He was a gentleman on whom I built
An absolute trust.

Nothing in his life
Became him like the leaving it. He died
As one that had been studied in his death
To throw away the dearest thing he owed
As 'twere a careless trifle.
Duncan
There's no art
To find the mind's construction in the face.
He was a gentleman on whom I built
An absolute trust.
