| Who can be wise, amazed, temperate and furious, loyal and neutral, in a moment? | Who can be wise, confused, calm and furious loyal and neutral, at the same time? |
| No man: the expedition of my violent love outran the pauser(slower) reason – | No man: The speed of my violent love ran faster than the cause of reason.(violent rage inspired by my love for duncan caused me to act before I could stop and think about it) |
| Here lay Duncan, his silver skin laced with his golden blood and his gashed stabs looked like a breach in nature’s or ruins wasteful entrance: | Duncan lay here with his fair/white skin, patterned with his blood and his stab wounds looked like gaps/wounds in life itself for death to enter: |
| There, the murderers steeped in the colors of their trade, their daggers unmannerly breached with gore. | There the murderers were bathed/covered in blood, their daggers (unseemingly) had trousers of blood/ covered in dried blood. |
| Who could refrain that had a heart to love, and in that heart courage to make’s love known? | Who that had heart and in it courage could refrain from making his love known?(Who could have restrained himself, who loved Duncan and had the courage to act on it?) |
