From the murderer's gibbet, throw
Into the flame.
All.Come, high or low;
Thyself and office deftly show. 68
Thunder. First Apparition, an armed Head.
Macb. Tell me, thou unknown power,—
First Witch. He knows thy thought:
Hear his speech, but say thou nought.
First App. Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! beware Macduff;
Beware the Thane of Fife. Dismiss me. Enough.
He descends.
Macb. Whate'er thou art, for thy good caution thanks; 73
Thou hast harp'd my fear aright. But one word more,—
First Witch. He will not be commanded: here's another,
More potent than the first. 76
Thunder. Second Apparition, a bloody Child.
Sec. App. Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth!—
Macb. Had I three ears, I'd hear thee.
Sec. App. Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn
The power of man: for none of woman born 80
Shall harm Macbeth. Descends.
Macb. 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; 84
That I may tell pale-hearted fear it lies,
And sleep in spite of thunder.
