THIRD WITCH
Anon!
ALL
Fair is foul, and foul is fair.
Hover through the fog and filthy air. [10]
Exeunt.
Scene II IT
Alarum within.
Enter King Duncan, Malcom, Donalbain, Lennox, with Attendants, meeting
a bleeding Captain.
KING
What bloody man is that? He can report,
As seemeth by his plight, of the revolt
The newest state.
MALCOLM
This is the sergeant
Who like a good and hardy soldier fought
’Gainst my captivity. Hail, brave friend!
Say to the King the knowledge of the broil
As thou didst leave it.
CAPTAIN
Doubtful it stood,
As two spent swimmers that do cling together
And choke their art. The merciless Macdonwald −
Worthy to be a rebel, for to that [10]
The multiplying villainies of nature
Do swarm upon him − from the Western Isles
Of kerns and galloglasses is supplied,
And fortune on his damnèd quarrel smiling
