ACT 1, SCENE 3<\/b>
Setting: A heath near Forres.<\/i><\/p>\n

Thunder. Enter the three Witches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
First Witch <\/td>\nWhere hast thou been, sister?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Witch <\/td>\nKilling swine.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Third Witch <\/td>\nSister, where thou?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Witch <\/td>\nA sailor's wife had chestnuts in her lap,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd munch'd, and munch'd, and munch'd:––<\/td>\n 5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nGive me,' quoth I:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAroint thee, witch!' the rump–fed ronyon cries.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHer husband's to Aleppo gone, master o' the Tiger:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut in a sieve I'll thither sail,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd, like a rat without a tail,<\/td>\n 10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI'll do, I'll do, and I'll do.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Witch <\/td>\nI'll give thee a wind.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Witch <\/td>\nThou'rt kind.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Third Witch <\/td>\nAnd I another.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Witch <\/td>\nI myself have all the other,<\/td>\n 15<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd the very ports they blow,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAll the quarters that they know<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI' the shipman's card.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI will drain him dry as hay:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSleep shall neither night nor day<\/td>\n 20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHang upon his pent–house lid;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHe shall live a man forbid:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWeary se'n nights nine times nine<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nShall he dwindle, peak and pine:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThough his bark cannot be lost,<\/td>\n 25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nYet it shall be tempest–tost.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nLook what I have.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Witch <\/td>\nShow me, show me.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Witch <\/td>\nHere I have a pilot's thumb,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWreck'd as homeward he did come.<\/td>\n 30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nDrum within.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Third Witch <\/td>\nA drum, a drum!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMacbeth doth come.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ALL <\/td>\nThe weird sisters, hand in hand,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nPosters of the sea and land,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThus do go about, about:<\/td>\n 35<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThrice to thine and thrice to mine<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd thrice again, to make up nine.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nPeace! the charm's wound up.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nEnter MACBETH and BANQUO.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH <\/td>\nSo foul and fair a day I have not seen.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BANQUO <\/td>\nHow far is't call'd to Forres? What are these<\/td>\n 40<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSo wither'd and so wild in their attire,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat look not like the inhabitants o' the earth,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd yet are on't? Live you? or are you aught<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat man may question? You seem to understand me,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBy each at once her choppy finger laying<\/td>\n 45<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nUpon her skinny lips: you should be women,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd yet your beards forbid me to interpret<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat you are so.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH <\/td>\nSpeak, if you can: what are you?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Witch <\/td>\nAll hail, Macbeth! hail to thee, thane of Glamis!<\/td>\n 50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Witch <\/td>\nAll hail, Macbeth, hail to thee, thane of Cawdor!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Third Witch <\/td>\nAll hail, Macbeth, thou shalt be king hereafter!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BANQUO <\/td>\nGood sir, why do you start; and seem to fear<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThings that do sound so fair? I' the name of truth,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAre ye fantastical, or that indeed<\/td>\n 55<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhich outwardly ye show? My noble partner<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nYou greet with present grace and great prediction<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOf noble having and of royal hope,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat he seems rapt withal: to me you speak not.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIf you can look into the seeds of time,<\/td>\n 60<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd say which grain will grow and which will not,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSpeak then to me, who neither beg nor fear<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nYour favours nor your hate.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Witch <\/td>\nHail!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Witch <\/td>\nHail!<\/td>\n 65<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Third Witch <\/td>\nHail!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Witch <\/td>\nLesser than Macbeth, and greater.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Witch <\/td>\nNot so happy, yet much happier.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Third Witch <\/td>\nThou shalt get kings, though thou be none:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSo all hail, Macbeth and Banquo!<\/td>\n 70<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Witch <\/td>\nBanquo and Macbeth, all hail!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH <\/td>\nStay, you imperfect speakers, tell me more:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBy Sinel's death I know I am thane of Glamis;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut how of Cawdor? the thane of Cawdor lives,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nA prosperous gentleman; and to be king<\/td>\n 75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nStands not within the prospect of belief,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nNo more than to be Cawdor. Say from whence<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nYou owe this strange intelligence? or why<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nUpon this blasted heath you stop our way<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWith such prophetic greeting? Speak, I charge you.<\/td>\n 80<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWitches vanish.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BANQUO <\/td>\nThe earth hath bubbles, as the water has,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd these are of them. Whither are they vanish'd?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH <\/td>\nInto the air; and what seem'd corporal melted<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAs breath into the wind. Would they had stay'd!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BANQUO <\/td>\nWere such things here as we do speak about?<\/td>\n 85<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOr have we eaten on the insane root<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat takes the reason prisoner?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH <\/td>\nYour children shall be kings.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BANQUO <\/td>\nYou shall be king.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH <\/td>\nAnd thane of Cawdor too: went it not so?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BANQUO <\/td>\nTo the selfsame tune and words. Who's here?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nEnter ROSS and ANGUS.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ROSS <\/td>\nThe king hath happily received, Macbeth,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe news of thy success; and when he reads<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThy personal venture in the rebels' fight,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHis wonders and his praises do contend<\/td>\n 95<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhich should be thine or his: silenced with that,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIn viewing o'er the rest o' the selfsame day,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHe finds thee in the stout Norweyan ranks,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nNothing afeard of what thyself didst make,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nStrange images of death. As thick as tale<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCame post with post; and every one did bear<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThy praises in his kingdom's great defence,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd pour'd them down before him.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANGUS <\/td>\nWe are sent<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo give thee from our royal master thanks;<\/td>\n 105<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOnly to herald thee into his sight,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nNot pay thee.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ROSS <\/td>\nAnd, for an earnest of a greater honour,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHe bade me, from him, call thee thane of Cawdor:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIn which addition, hail, most worthy thane!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFor it is thine.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BANQUO <\/td>\nWhat, can the devil speak true?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH <\/td>\nThe thane of Cawdor lives: why do you dress me<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIn borrow'd robes?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANGUS <\/td>\nWho was the thane lives yet;<\/td>\n 115<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut under heavy judgment bears that life<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhich he deserves to lose. Whether he was combined<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWith those of Norway, or did line the rebel<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWith hidden help and vantage, or that with both<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHe labour'd in his country's wrack, I know not;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut treasons capital, confess'd and proved,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHave overthrown him.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH <\/td>\nAside.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nGlamis, and Thane of Cawdor:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe greatest is behind.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo ROSS and ANGUS.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThanks for your pains.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo BANQUO.<\/td>\n 125<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nDo you not hope your children shall be kings,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhen those that gave the thane of Cawdor to me<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nPromised no less to them?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BANQUO <\/td>\nThat trusted home<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMight yet enkindle you unto the crown,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBesides the thane of Cawdor. But 'tis strange:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd oftentimes, to win us to our harm,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe instruments of darkness tell us truths,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWin us with honest trifles, to betray's<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIn deepest consequence.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCousins, a word, I pray you.<\/td>\n 135<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH <\/td>\nAside.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTwo truths are told,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAs happy prologues to the swelling act<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOf the imperial theme. –– I thank you, gentlemen.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAside.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThis supernatural soliciting<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCannot be ill, cannot be good: if ill,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhy hath it given me earnest of success,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCommencing in a truth? I am thane of Cawdor:<\/td>\n 140<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIf good, why do I yield to that suggestion<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhose horrid image doth unfix my hair<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd make my seated heart knock at my ribs,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAgainst the use of nature? Present fears<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAre less than horrible imaginings:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMy thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nShakes so my single state of man that function<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIs smother'd in surmise, and nothing is<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut what is not.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BANQUO <\/td>\nLook, how our partner's rapt.<\/td>\n 150<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH <\/td>\nAside.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIf chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWithout my stir.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BANQUO <\/td>\nNew honors come upon him,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nLike our strange garments, cleave not to their mould<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut with the aid of use.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH <\/td>\nAside.<\/td>\n 155<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCome what come may,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTime and the hour runs through the roughest day.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BANQUO <\/td>\nWorthy Macbeth, we stay upon your leisure.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH <\/td>\nGive me your favour: my dull brain was wrought<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWith things forgotten. Kind gentlemen, your pains<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAre register'd where every day I turn<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe leaf to read them. Let us toward the king.<\/td>\n 160<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThink upon what hath chanced, and, at more time,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe interim having weigh'd it, let us speak<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOur free hearts each to other.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BANQUO <\/td>\nVery gladly.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH <\/td>\nTill then, enough. Come, friends.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n[Exeunt]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
