Scene I] Macbeth 81 

Macbeth. Call 'em ; let me see 'em. 

First Witch. Pour in sow's blood, that hath 
eaten 
Her nine farrow ; grease that's sweaten 
From the murderer's gibbet throw 
Into the flame. 

All. Come, high or low ; 

Thyself and office deftly show ! 

Thunder. First Apparition : an armed Head 

Macbeth. Tell me, thou unknown power, — 
First Witch. He knows thy thought : 

Hear his speech, but say thou nought. 70 

First Apparition. Macbeth ! Macbeth ! Macbeth ! 
beware Macduff; 
Beware the thane of Fife. Dismiss me: enough. 

[Descends. 
Macbeth. Whate'er thou art, for thy good cau- 
tion thanks ; 
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. 

Thunder. Second Apparition : a bloody Child 

Second Apparition. Macbeth ! Macbeth ! Mac- 
beth ! 

Macbeth. Had I three ears, I'd hear thee.
