It was Shakespeare who doomed him. This level of exuberance isn't even found
in the comedies. This sounds more like Milton.

"Tomorrow" Soliloquy
If Macbeth had not been doomed but blessed, his soliloquy might go thus:
Yesterday, and yesterday, and yesterday,
Raced by at a stunning rate from age to age,
To the final chorus of recorded time;
And all our tomorrows will illumine sages
The way to Paradise. Burn, burn, eternal flame!
Life's more than a soaring Phoenix; a master player,
That enchants and inspires his years upon the stage,
And then is heard in eternity: it is an epic
Told by an Saint, full of beauty, song, and wit,
Signifying salvation.
Best,
Eric
