MACBETH- SHAKESPEARE

"She should have died hereafter;

ᶴi: ᶴᶷd hᵆv daid hiᵊ’rᵅf.tᵊ^r,

There would have been a time for such a word.

ᵭeᵊ^r wᶷd hᵆv bi:n ᵊ taim fᴐ:^r sᶺtᶴ ᵊ wᶟ:d.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,

tᵊ’mᴐ:r.oᶷ, ᵆnd tᵊ’mᴐ:r.oᶷ, ᵆnd tᵊ’mᴐ:r.oᶷ,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,

Kri:ps in ᵭis ‘pet.i peis frᵅm dei tᶷ dei,

To the last syllable of recorded time;

Tᶷ ᵭe lᵆst sil.ᵊ.b.l ᵊv ricᴐ:did taim;

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

ᵆnd ᴐ:l aᶷᵊ^r ‘jes.tᵊdeiz hᵆv laitid fu:lz

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

ᵭe wei tᶷ ‘dᶺs.ti deᶿ. aᶷt, aᶷt, bri:f kᵆn.dl

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player

Laif’s bᶺt ᵊ ‘wᴐ:kiᵑ ᶴᵆd.oᶷ, ᵊ pᶷr ‘plei.ᵊr
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

ᵭᵆt strᶺtz ᵆnd fretz hiz aᶷᵊ^r ᵊpᵅn ᵭe steidᶾ

And then is heard no more. It is a tale

ᵆnd ᵭen iz hiᵊ^rd no mᴐ:^r. it iz ᵊ teil

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury

tᵊᶷld bai ᵊn ‘id.i.ᵊt, fᶷl ᵊv saᶷnd ᵆnd fjᶷᵊ.ri

Signifying nothing."

Sig.ni.’fajiᵑ ‘nᶺᶿiᵑ”

— Macbeth (Act 5, Scene 5, lines 17-28)
