| <p><blockquote> | |
| <i>Thunder. Enter the three Witches meeting HECATE</i> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech1><b>First Witch</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=1>Why, how now, Hecate! you look angerly.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech2><b>HECATE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=2>Have I not reason, beldams as you are,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=3>Saucy and overbold? How did you dare</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=4>To trade and traffic with Macbeth</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=5>In riddles and affairs of death;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=6>And I, the mistress of your charms,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=7>The close contriver of all harms,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=8>Was never call'd to bear my part,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=9>Or show the glory of our art?</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=10>And, which is worse, all you have done</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=11>Hath been but for a wayward son,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=12>Spiteful and wrathful, who, as others do,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=13>Loves for his own ends, not for you.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=14>But make amends now: get you gone,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=15>And at the pit of Acheron</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=16>Meet me i' the morning: thither he</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=17>Will come to know his destiny:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=18>Your vessels and your spells provide,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=19>Your charms and every thing beside.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=20>I am for the air; this night I'll spend</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=21>Unto a dismal and a fatal end:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=22>Great business must be wrought ere noon:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=23>Upon the corner of the moon</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=24>There hangs a vaporous drop profound;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=25>I'll catch it ere it come to ground:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=26>And that distill'd by magic sleights</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=27>Shall raise such artificial sprites</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=28>As by the strength of their illusion</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=29>Shall draw him on to his confusion:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=30>He shall spurn fate, scorn death, and bear</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=31>He hopes 'bove wisdom, grace and fear:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=32>And you all know, security</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=33>Is mortals' chiefest enemy.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Music and a song within: 'Come away, come away,' & c</i></p> | |
| <A NAME=34>Hark! I am call'd; my little spirit, see,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=35>Sits in a foggy cloud, and stays for me.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Exit</i></p> | |

| <A NAME=speech3><b>First Witch</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=36>Come, let's make haste; she'll soon be back again.</A><br> | |
