Being unprepared,
Our will became the servant to defect,
Which else should free have wrought.

This I made good to you
In our last conference, passed in probation with you
How you were borne in hand, how crossed, the instruments,
Who wrought with them, and all things else that might
To half a soul and to a notion crazed
Say, "Thus did Banquo."

editor's notes: This could be paraphrased as: I confirmed this to you in our last discussion, going over the proof with you: how you were misled, how you were thwarted, the tools involved, who worked with them, and everything else that would convince even half a soul or a confused mind to say, "This was Banquo's doing."
