According to the KLI wiki, Macbeth was completed several years ago.

Ne'er mind Hamlet. Has anybody translated anything from Macbeth?



"Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day

Til the last syllable of recorded time.

And all our yesterdays light fools the way to dusty death.

Out, out, brief candle, life is but a walking shadow,

A poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage

Then is heard no more.

It is a tale told by an idiot,

Full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing."

- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5



Or indeed Prospero's lines from The Tempest:-



"Our revels now are ended. These our actors, 

As I foretold you, were all spirits and 

Are melted into air, into thin air: 

And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, 

The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, 

The solemn temples, the great globe itself, 

Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve 

And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, 

Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff 

As dreams are made on, and our little life 

Is rounded with a sleep."

- The Tempest, Act 4, Scene 1
