Is my sentence along with this parenthetical citation correct?

Duncan and his bravery in returning after slaughtering soldiers of the enemy kingdom: “And Fortune, on his damnèd quarrel smiling, Show'd like a rebel's whore. But all's too weak; For brave Macbeth (well he deserves that name) Disdaining Fortune, with his brandished steel, Which smoked with bloody execution" (1.2.16-20).
Here's the original text:
Sergeant - Doubtful it stood; As two spent swimmers, that do cling together And choke their art. The merciless Macdonwald— Worthy to be a rebel, for to that The multiplying villanies of nature Do swarm upon him—from the western isles Of kerns and gallowglasses is supplied; And fortune, on his damned quarrel smiling, Show'd like a rebel's whore: but all's too weak: For brave Macbeth—well he deserves that name— Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel, Which smoked with bloody execution, Like valour's minion carved out his passage Till he faced the slave; Which ne'er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him, Till he unseam'd him from the nave to the chaps, And fix'd his head upon our battlements.
That looks right to me, but you might want a second opinion.
Hmmm... I remember my teacher saying something about omitting using colons or something?? Sound familiar?? @arabpride
is this for an English class?
Yes.
I honestly have never had to deal with something like this, but it looks correct, as in the articles I read online and whatnot.
