Eight rings appear, and pass over; the stage in order;
the last, with a glass in his hand: Banquo following.

Macb. Thou art too like the spirit of Banquo; down!
Thy crown does sear mine eye-balls; – And try hair,
Thou other-gold-bound brow, is like the first: –
A third is like the former: – Filthy hags!
Why do you shоw me this? – A fourth? – Start, eyes!
What! Will the line stretch out to the crack of doom?–
Another yet? _ A seventh? _ I'll see no more: -
And yet the eighth appears, who bears a glass,
Which shews me many more; and some I see,
That two-fold balls and treble sceptres carry;
Horrible sight! Ay, now, I see, 'tis true;
For the blood-bolter'd Banquo smiles upon me,
And points at them for his – What is this so?
[Music. The Witches dance and vanish.]
