Then live, macduff, what need I fear of thee? But yet I'll make assurance double sure and take a bond of fate

In William Shakespeare's play Macbeth, the character Macbeth utters the famous line, "Then live, Macduff, what need I fear of thee? But yet I'll make assurance double sure and take a bond of fate." This line is spoken by Macbeth in Act 5, Scene 8, during the climactic final battle between Macbeth and Macduff.
