YES IT IS A TREE

Macbeth: What do you think it is, Servant?

Macbeth’s Messenger: Appears to be a soldier dressed as a tree, M’Lord.

Macbeth: Nonsense, twaddle, what rubbish passes thy surly lips, nonthane, tis but a tree. A bush, really.

Macbeth’s Messenger: A bush with legs on either side, in that case King, that hastens hither.

Macbeth: I see now quite clearly that it is no bush, but a tree.

Macbeth’s Messenger: A tree, My Sovereign, with sword and javelin for branches.

Macbeth: Yes, I can make it out now quite clearly, an acorn of a tree fallen not far from Birnam Wood. Tis a tree.

Macbeth’s Messenger: A funny little tree, M’Lord.
