Select the correct text in the passage. In this excerpt from act IV of Shakespeare's Macbeth, identify two biblical allusions.
MALCOLM:
What I believe, I'll wail:
What know, believe, and what I can redress,
As I shall find the time to friend, I will.
What you have spoke, it may be so perchance.
This tyrant, whose sole name blisters our tongues.
Was once thought honest: you have loved him well:
He hath not touch'd you yet. I am young: but something
You may deserve of him through me: and wisdom
To offer up a weak, poor innocent lamb
To appease an angry god.
MACDUFF
I am not treacherous.
MALCOLM: But Macbeth is.
A good and virtuous nature may recoil
in an imperial charge. But I shall crave your pardon:
That which you are my thoughts cannot transpose:
Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell:
Though all things foul would wear the brows of grace.
Yet grace must still look so.
MACDUFF
I have lost my hopes
