Mortal thoughts,

from William Shakespeare – Macbeth Act 1 Scene 5 5 on Rap Genius

Meaning

“Mortal thoughts.” This expression signifies not “the thoughts of mortals,” but “murtherous, deadly,” or “destructive designs.” So in Act 5th.

Hold fast the mortal sword,

And in another place,

With twenty mortal murthers.
