Act 1, Scene iii

Lines 38-61

 

 MACBETH 
 38   So foul [bad] and fair [good] a day I have not seen. 

      BANQUO 
 39   How far is't call'd to Forres? — What are these 
 40   So wither'd and so wild in their attire, 
 41   That look not like the inhabitants o' the earth, 
 42   And yet are on't? Live you? or are you aught 
 43   That man may question? You seem to understand me, 
 44   By each at once her choppy finger laying 
 45   Upon her skinny lips: you should be women, 
 46   And yet your beards forbid me to interpret 
 47   That you are so. 

      MACBETH 
                               Speak, if you can: what are you? 

      First Witch 
 48   All hail, Macbeth! hail to thee, Thane of Glamis! 

      Second Witch 
 49   All hail, Macbeth, hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor! 

      Third Witch 
 50   All hail, Macbeth, thou shalt be king hereafter!
           
 [Hello, Macbeth, you will be king soon!] 

      BANQUO 
 51   Good sir, why do you start, and seem to fear 
 52   Things that do sound so fair? — I' the name of truth, 
             [Why are you afraid of things that sound good?]

 53   Are ye fantastical, or that indeed 
 54   Which outwardly ye show? My noble partner 
 55   You greet with present grace and great prediction 
            
 [You say hello nicely and say what will happen in the future.]
 56   Of noble having and of royal hope, 
 57   That he seems rapt withal; to me you speak not. 
 58   If you can look into the seeds of time, 
 59   And say which grain will grow and which will not, 
 60   Speak then to me, who neither beg nor fear 
 61   Your favours nor your hate.

Act I, Scene iv

Lines 33-53


DUNCAN 
                                               My plenteous joys, 
 34   Wanton in fullness, seek to hide themselves 
 35   In drops of sorrow. Sons, kinsmen, thanes, 
 36   And you whose places are the nearest, know 
 37   We will establish our estate upon 
 38   Our eldest, Malcolm, whom we name hereafter 
 39   The Prince of Cumberland; which honour must 
 40   Not unaccompanied invest him only, 
 41   But signs of nobleness, like stars, shall shine 
 42   On all deservers. From hence to Inverness, 
 43   And bind us further to you. 

      MACBETH 
 44   The rest is labour, which is not used for you: 
 45   I'll be myself the harbinger and make joyful 
 46   The hearing of my wife with your approach; 
 47   So humbly take my leave. 

      DUNCAN 
                                               My worthy Cawdor! 

 MACBETH  [Aside. (Speaking his thoughts to himself.)] 
 48   The Prince of Cumberland! that is a step 
 49   On which I must fall down, or else o'erleap, 
 50   For in my way it lies. Stars, hide your fires, 
 51   Let not light see my black and deep desires; 
           
 [The light should not see my black desires.]
 52   The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be 
 53   Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see.
