Macbeth

by William Shakespeare


Previous Chapter Next Chapter

ACT I - Scene I


A desert place. Thunder and lightning.

Enter three Witches.

FIRST WITCH
When shall we three meet again?
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?

SECOND WITCH
When the hurlyburly's done,
When the battle's lost and won.

THIRD WITCH
That will be ere the set of sun.

FIRST WITCH
Where the place?

SECOND WITCH
Upon the heath.

THIRD WITCH
There to meet with Macbeth.

FIRST WITCH
I come, Graymalkin.

ALL
Paddock calls. Anon!
Fair is foul, and foul is fair.
Hover through the fog and filthy air.

Exeunt.
