Both Uses of
solicit
in
Macbeth
- This supernatural soliciting
Cannot be ill, cannot be good.†p. 23.6
- How he solicits heaven,
Himself best knows: but strangely-visited people,
All swoln and ulcerous, pitiful to the eye,
The mere despair of surgery, he cures,
Hanging a golden stamp about their necks,
Put on with holy prayers; and, 'tis spoken,
To the succeeding royalty he leaves
The healing benediction.†p. 149.5 *
Definition:
