Oh
well done! I commend your pains.
-Hectate
Macbeth Act IV, Scene i, Line
39
Here’s Hectates full speech in this scene:
O well
done! I commend your pains;
And every one shall share i' the gains;
And now about the cauldron sing,
Live elves and fairies in a ring,
Enchanting all that you put in.
And every one shall share i' the gains;
And now about the cauldron sing,
Live elves and fairies in a ring,
Enchanting all that you put in.
I thought that since that’s all she says, and since it’s got
the rhyming thing going on, and it’s only five lines, that you’d like to read
the whole thing.
Hectate comes into this scene, recites the five lines above,
and leaves. The scene starts with the three sisters/witches talking and
chanting. Then Hectate shows up, I guess tells them what a good
job they’re doing with their chants, and then leaves. Very shortly afterward
Macbeth shows up.
Say what you will, but it’s always nice to get an ‘atta boy’, isn’t it?
This is my paint and misc shelf in my workshop. I moved it from another part of the cellar and got an 'Atta boy' for moving it. You just never know. Those witches got one for doing some silly chants. Life is so unpredictable.
