When I burnt in desire to question them further, they made themselves Ayre, into which they vanish’d. Whiles I stood rapt in the wonder of it, came Missiuves from the King, who all hail’d me Thane of Cawdor by which Title before, these weyward Sisters saluted me, and referr’d me to the comming on of time, with haile King that shalt be. This have I thought good to deliver thee (my dearest Partner of Greatnesse) that thou might’st not loose the dues of rejoycing by being ignorant of what Greatnessse is promis’d thee. Lay it to thy heart, and farewell.

Faith here’s an Equivocator, that could sweare in both the Scales, against eyther Scale, who committed Treason enough for Gods sake, yet could not equivocate to Heaven: oh come in, Equivocator, Knock. Knock, Knock, Knock. Who’s there? Faith here’s an English Taylor come hither, for stealing out of a French Hose: Come in Taylor, here you may rest your Goose. Knock. Knock, Knock, Never at quiet: What are you? but this place is too cold for Hell. Ile Devill-Porter it no further: I had thought to have let in some of all professions, that goe the Primrose way to th’everlasting Bonfire. Knock. Anon, anon, I pray you remember the Porter.

cock … master

F2:

Cock: / And Drinke, Sir, is a great provoker of three things. / Macd. What three things does Drinke especially provoke ? / Port. Marry, Sir, Nose-painting, Sleepe, and Vrine. Lechery, Sir, it provokes, and unprovokes: it Provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance. Therefore much Drinke may be said to be an Equivocator with Lechery: it makes him and it marres him; it sets him on, and it takes him off; it perswades him, and disheartens him; makes him stand to, and not stand to: in conclusion, equivocates him in a sleepe, and giving him the Lye, leaves him. / Macd. I beleeve, Drinke gave thee the Lye last Night. / Port. That it did, Sir, i’the very Throat on me: but I requited him for his Lye, and (I thinke) being too strong for him, though he tooke up my Legges sometime, yet I made a Shift to cast him. Enter Macbeth. Macd. Is thy Master
