What does this mean: To be thus is nothing; But to be safely thus
This is taken from Shakespeare's Macbeth, and I am having difficulty comprehending what this means. Can someone please put it into normal English, with all explanations?
While searching for exact text around those lines (don't remember Macbeth by heart, sorry) stumbled upon this comment:
to be king is nothing, unless, as king, you are safe.
