The witches wait for Macbeth, brewing a dark spirit they spoke to earlier.
Enter Macbeth for wisdom and prophecy .
I conjure you by that which you profess— Howe 'er you come to know it—answer me. serve. I don’t care if you unleash violent winds that tear down churches, send sailors to their deaths, flatten crops make castles fall down, make palaces andpyramids collapse, and mix up everything in nature. Tell me what I want to know.
How now secret old hags, what ou do
How now secret old hags, what is 't you do
We'll answer.
Come high; come low
Something wicked comes, open locks,whoever comes
From the murderer’s gibbet throwInto the flame.
Beware
Entre first Apparition with a warning of fife Macduff
Be lion-mettled, proud, and take no careWho chafes, who hates, or where conspirers are. Macbeth shall never vanquished be until Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill Shall come against him.
.
Then live, Macduff. What need I fear of thee? But yet I’ll make assurance double sure, And take a bond of fate. Thou shalt not live,That I may tell pale-hearted fear it lies, And sleep in spite of thunder.
Be bloody, bold, and resolute. Laugh to scornThe power of man, for none of woman bornShall harm Macbeth.
Thank you, though but one word more?
Too be countinued...
That will never happen. Who can command the forest and make the trees pull their roots out of the earth? These were sweet omens! Good! My murders will never come back to threaten me until the forest of Birnam gets up and moves, and I will be king for my entire natural life. But my heart is still throbbing to know one thing. Tell me, if your dark powers can see this far: will Banquo’s sons ever reign in this kingdom?
You can not command him, he is greater then you will ever be
