Scene ill] Macbeth 21 

No more than to be Cawdor. Say from whence 
You owe this strange intelligence? or why 
Upon this blasted heath you stop our way 
With such prophetic greeting? Speak, I charge 
you. [Witches vanish. 

Banquo. The earth hath bubbles as the water 
has, 
And these are of them : whither are they vanish'd ? so 
Macbeth. Into the air, and what seem'd corporal 
melted 
As breath into the wind. Would they had stay'd ! 
Banquo. Were such things here as we do speak 
about ? 
Or have we eaten on the insane root 
That takes the reason prisoner? 

Macbeth. Your children shall be kings. 
Banquo. You shall be king. 

Macbeth. And thane of Cawdor too : went it 

not so? 
Banquo. ' To the selfsame tune and words. 
Who's here? 

Enter Ross and Angus 

Ross. The king hath happily received, Macbeth, 
The news of thy success : and when he reads 90 

Thy personal venture in the rebels' fight, 
His wonders and his praises do contend 

Describe Banquo's character as observed in this scene.
