Answer:'He wants the natural touch, for the poor wren, / The most diminutive of birds will fight, / Her young ones in her nest, against the owl.'

Lady Macduff complains that her husband has left her defenseless. Even a tiny wren will fight an owl if its young are threatened.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lady Macduff was a woman that was very loyal and protective to her family as shown when she gets mad at Macduff for fleeing the country to England without telling them, declaring him as a traitor. Although she made a brief appearance in Macbeth, that characteristic of her was shown clearly.
