[Thunder and lightning; three witches enter.]    

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.

Second Witch

Paddock calls.    

Third Witch

Anon.

All

Fair is foul, and foul is fair.
Hover through the fog and filthy air.
[Exit]
