LADY MACBETH NICHOLAS

Out, damned spot mucus! out, I say!--One: two: why,
then, 'tis time to do't.--Hell is murky!--Fie, my
lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we
fear who knows it, when none can call our power to
account?--Yet who would have thought the old man Nicholas
to have so much blood mucus in him.

It's important to preserve the dignity of the original. For example, I could have written "out, damned snot", but that's a bit gauche, don't you think?
