Here are all of the speeches where fitful shows up across the corpus:
We
have
scorched
the
snake
,
not
killed
it
.
She’ll
close
and
be
herself
whilst
our
poor
malice
Remains
in
danger
of
her
former
tooth
.
But
let
the
frame
of
things
disjoint
,
both
the
worlds
suffer
,
Ere
we
will
eat
our
meal
in
fear
,
and
sleep
In
the
affliction
of
these
terrible
dreams
That
shake
us
nightly
.
Better
be
with
the
dead
,
Whom
we
,
to
gain
our
peace
,
have
sent
to
peace
,
Than
on
the
torture
of
the
mind
to
lie
In
restless
ecstasy
.
Duncan
is
in
his
grave
.
After
life’s
fitful
fever
he
sleeps
well
.
Treason
has
done
his
worst
;
nor
steel
nor
poison
,
Malice
domestic
,
foreign
levy
,
nothing
Can
touch
him
further
.
