Answer 1

Enter
MACBETH
and
BANQUO
Macb.
So foul and fair a day I have not seen.
Ban.
How far is
't call'd to Forres? What are these
So wither'd and so wild in their attire,
That look not like the inhabitants o' the earth,
And yet are on 't? Live you? or are you aught
That man may question? You seem to understand me,
By each at once her choppy finger
laying
Upon her skinny lips. You should be women,
And yet your beards forbid me to interpret
That you are so.
Macb.
Speak, if you can. What are you?
1.
Witch.
All hail, Macbeth! hail to thee, thane of Glamis!
2.
Witch.
All hail, Macbeth! hail
to thee, thane of Cawdor!
3.
Witch.
All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be King hereafter!
Ban.
Good sir, why do you start, and seem to fear
Things that do sound so fair? [
To the
Witches.] I' the name of truth,
Are ye fantastical,
or that indeed
Which out
wardly ye show?
My noble partner
You greet with present grace and great prediction
Of noble having
and of royal hope,
That he seems rapt withal; to me you speak not.
If you can look into the seeds of time,
And say which grain will grow and which will not,
Speak then to me, who neither beg nor fear
Your favours nor your hate.

Answer 2

1.
Witch.
Hail!
2.
Witch.
Hail!
3.
Witch.
Hail!
1.
Witch.
Lesser than Macbeth, and greater.
2.
Witch.
Not so happy, yet much happier.
3.
Witch.
Thou shalt get kings, though
thou be none;
So all hail, Macbeth and Banquo!
1.
Witch.
Banquo and Macbeth, all hail!
Macb.
Stay, you imperfect speakers, tell me more.
By Sinel's death I know I am thane of Glamis;
But how of Cawdor? The thane of Cawdor lives,
A prosperous gentle
man; and to be king

Answer 3

Stands not within the prospect of belief
No more than to be Cawdor. Say from whence
You owe this strange intelligence, or why
Upon this blasted heath you stop our way
With such prophetic greeting. Speak, I charge you.
Witches
vanish.
Ban.
The earth hath bubbles, as the water has,
And these are of them. Whither are they vanish'd?
Macb.
Into the air; and what seem'd corporal melted
As breath into the wind. Would they had stay'd!
