MACBETH. Seyton! -I am sick at heart,
When I behold -Seyton, I say! - This push
Will cheer me ever, or disseat me now
I have lived long enough. My way of life
Is fall'n into the sere, the yellow leaf,
And that which should accompany old age.
As honor, love, obedience, troops of friends,
I must not look to have, but in their stead,
Curses, not loud but deep, mouth honor, breath
Which the poor heart would fain deny and dare not.
Seyton!

--William Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act V, scene ili

What do these words tell the readers about Macbeth's state of mind on the eve of
battle?

A. He is angry that Lady Macbeth has killed herself and left him alone.

B. He feels ill and is worried that he will not win the upcoming battle.

C. He is confident he will win the battle because of the witches’ prophecies.

D. He is prepared to die and regrets that he will not grow old gracefully.

Seyton!—I’m sick at heart when I see—Seyton, come here!—This battle will either secure my reign forever or else topple me from the throne. I have lived long enough. The course of my life is beginning to wither and fall away, like a yellowing leaf in autumn. The things that should go along with old age, like honor, love, obedience, and loyal friends, I cannot hope to have. Instead, I have passionate but quietly whispered curses, people who honor me with their words but not in their hearts, and lingering life, which my heart would gladly end, though I can’t bring myself to do it. Seyton! 《 this is a modern version of the given text》
