Scene III. A heath.
Thunder. Enter the three Witches.
First Witch. Where hast thou been, sister?[3731]
Sec. Witch. Killing swine.
Third Witch. Sister, where thou?[3732]
First Witch. A sailor's wife had chestnuts in her lap,
And mounch'd, and mounch'd, and mounch'd. 'Give me,' quoth I:[3733] 5
'Aroint thee, witch!' the rump-fed ronyon cries.[3734]
Her husband's to Aleppo gone, master o' the Tiger:
But in a sieve I'll thither sail,
And, like a rat without a tail,
I'll do, I'll do, and I'll do.[3735] 10
Sec. Witch. I'll give thee a wind.
First Witch. Thou'rt kind.[3736]
Third Witch. And I another.
First Witch. I myself have all the other;
And the very ports they blow,[3737] 15
All the quarters that they know[3738]
I' the shipman's card.[3739]
I will drain him dry as hay:[3740]
Sleep shall neither night nor day
Hang upon his pent-house lid; 20
He shall live a man forbid:
Weary se'nnights nine times nine[3741]
Shall he dwindle, peak, and pine:
Though his bark cannot be lost,
Yet it shall be tempest-tost. 25
Look what I have.
