Hello cboyajr, and thank you for this quotable question! ;-)

According to All Shakespeare.com the quote occurs in the Third Act of
Hamlet, not Macbeth.
"The lady doth protest too much, methinks." 
--From Hamlet (III, ii, 239) 

This is concurred in the text:
Shakespeare, William, and A  H Bullen. The Works of William
Shakespeare Gathered into One Volume. New York: Oxford University
Press, 1938.
Act III, Scene II, of Hamlet.
"QUEEN. The lady doth protest too much, methinks." 

I hope that answers your question satisfactorily. If I can clarify
anything, please let me know before you rate my answer. Thank you for
