<\/td>\nDays and nights has thirty–one<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSwelter'd venom sleeping got,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

[HECATE retires]<\/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
Second Witch<\/td>\nBy the pricking of my thumbs,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSomething wicked this way comes.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOpen, locks,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhoever knocks!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Enter MACBETH]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nHow now, you secret, black, and midnight hags!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhat is't you do?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ALL<\/td>\nA deed without a name.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nI conjure you, by that which you profess,<\/td>\n50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHowe'er you come to know it, answer me:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThough you untie the winds and let them fight<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAgainst the churches; though the yesty waves<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nConfound and swallow navigation up;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThough bladed corn be lodged and trees blown down;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThough castles topple on their warders' heads;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThough palaces and pyramids do slope<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTheir heads to their foundations; though the treasure<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOf nature's germens tumble all together,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nEven till destruction sicken; answer me<\/td>\n60<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo what I ask you.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Witch<\/td>\nSpeak.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Witch<\/td>\nDemand.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Third Witch<\/td>\nWe'll answer.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Witch<\/td>\nSay, if thou'dst rather hear it from our mouths,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOr from our masters?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nCall 'em; let me see 'em.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Witch<\/td>\nPour in sow's blood, that hath eaten<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHer nine farrow; grease that's sweaten<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFrom the murderer's gibbet throw<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nInto the flame.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ALL<\/td>\nCome, high or low;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThyself and office deftly show!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/table>\n

[Thunder. First Apparition: an armed Head]<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nTell me, thou unknown power,––<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Witch<\/td>\nHe knows thy thought:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHear his speech, but say thou nought.<\/td>\n70<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Apparition<\/td>\nMacbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! beware Macduff;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBeware the thane of Fife. Dismiss me. Enough.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Descends]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nWhate'er thou art, for thy good caution, thanks;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThou hast harp'd my fear aright: but one<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nword more,––<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Witch<\/td>\nHe will not be commanded: here's another,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMore potent than the first.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/table>\n

[Thunder. Second Apparition: A bloody Child]<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Second Apparition<\/td>\nMacbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nHad I three ears, I'ld hear thee.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Apparition<\/td>\nBe bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe power of man, for none of woman born<\/td>\n80<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nShall harm Macbeth.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Descends]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nThen live, Macduff: what need I fear of thee?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut yet I'll make assurance double sure,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd take a bond of fate: thou shalt not live;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat I may tell pale–hearted fear it lies,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd sleep in spite of thunder.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/table>\n

[Thunder. Third Apparition: a Child crowned, with a tree in his hand ]<\/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
<\/td>\nWhat is this<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat rises like the issue of a king,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd wears upon his baby–brow the round<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd top of sovereignty?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ALL<\/td>\nListen, but speak not to't.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Third Apparition<\/td>\nBe lion–mettled, proud; and take no care<\/td>\n90<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWho chafes, who frets, or where conspirers are:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMacbeth shall never vanquish'd be until<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nGreat Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nShall come against him.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Descends]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nThat will never be<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWho can impress the forest, bid the tree<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nUnfix his earth–bound root? Sweet bodements! good!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nRebellion's head, rise never till the wood<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOf Birnam rise, and our high–placed Macbeth<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nShall live the lease of nature, pay his breath<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo time and mortal custom. Yet my heart<\/td>\n100<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThrobs to know one thing: tell me, if your art<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCan tell so much: shall Banquo's issue ever<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nReign in this kingdom?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ALL<\/td>\nSeek to know no more.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nI will be satisfied: deny me this,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd an eternal curse fall on you! Let me know.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhy sinks that cauldron? and what noise is this?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Hautboys]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Witch<\/td>\nShow!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Witch<\/td>\nShow!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Third Witch<\/td>\nShow!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ALL<\/td>\nShow his eyes, and grieve his heart;<\/td>\n110<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCome like shadows, so depart!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/table>\n

[A show of Eight Kings, the last with a glass in his hand; GHOST OF BANQUO following]<\/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
MACBETH<\/td>\nThou art too like the spirit of Banquo: down!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThy crown does sear mine eye–balls. And thy hair,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThou other gold–bound brow, is like the first.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nA third is like the former. Filthy hags!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhy do you show me this? A fourth! Start, eyes!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhat, will the line stretch out to the crack of doom?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnother yet! A seventh! I'll see no more:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd yet the eighth appears, who bears a glass<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhich shows me many more; and some I see<\/td>\n120<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat two–fold balls and treble scepters carry:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHorrible sight! Now, I see, 'tis true;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFor the blood–bolter'd Banquo smiles upon me,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd points at them for his.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Apparitions vanish]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhat, is this so?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Witch<\/td>\nAy, sir, all this is so: but why<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nStands Macbeth thus amazedly?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCome, sisters, cheer we up his sprites,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd show the best of our delights:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI'll charm the air to give a sound,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhile you perform your antic round:<\/td>\n130<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat this great king may kindly say,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOur duties did his welcome pay.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/table>\n

[Music. The witches dance and then vanish, with HECATE]<\/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
MACBETH<\/td>\nWhere are they? Gone? Let this pernicious hour<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nStand aye accursed in the calendar!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCome in, without there!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
[Enter LENNOX]<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LENNOX<\/td>\nWhat's your grace's will?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nSaw you the weird sisters?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LENNOX<\/td>\nNo, my lord.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nCame they not by you?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LENNOX<\/td>\nNo, indeed, my lord.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nInfected be the air whereon they ride;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd damn'd all those that trust them! I did hear<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe galloping of horse: who was't came by?<\/td>\n140<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LENNOX<\/td>\nTis two or three, my lord, that bring you word<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMacduff is fled to England.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nFled to England!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LENNOX<\/td>\nAy, my good lord.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MACBETH<\/td>\nTime, thou anticipatest my dread exploits:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe flighty purpose never is o'ertook<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nUnless the deed go with it; from this moment<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe very firstlings of my heart shall be<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe firstlings of my hand. And even now,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo crown my thoughts with acts, be it thought and done:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe castle of Macduff I will surprise;<\/td>\n150<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSeize upon Fife; give to the edge o' the sword<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHis wife, his babes, and all unfortunate souls<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat trace him in his line. No boasting like a fool;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThis deed I'll do before this purpose cool.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut no more sights!––Where are these gentlemen?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCome, bring me where they are.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
