Macbeth
FIRST WITCH: Lesser than Macbeth, and greater.
SECOND WITCH: Not so happy, yet much happier.
THIRD WITCH: Thou shalt get kings, though thou be none:
So all hail, Macbeth and Banquo!
FIRST WITCH: Banquo and Macbeth, all hail!
MACBETH: Stay, you imperfect speakers, tell me more:
By Sinel's death I know I am thane of Glamis?
But how of Cawdor? the thane of Cawdor lives,
A prosperous gentleman? and to be king
Stands not within the prospect of belief,
No more than to be Cawdor. Say from whence
You owe this strange intelligence, or why
Upon this blasted heath you stop our way
With such prophetic greeting? Speak, I charge you.
[Witches vanish]
BANQUO: The earth hath bubbles, as the water has,
And these are of them. Whither are they vanish'd?
MACBETH: Into the air? and what seem'd corporal melted
As breath into the wind. Would they had stay'd!
BANQUO: Were such things here as we do speak about?
Or have we eaten on the insane root
That takes the reason prisoner?
MACBETH: Your children shall be kings.
BANQUO: You shall be king.
MACBETH: And thane of Cawdor too: went it not so?

Seven pleiades entranced in heaven, form in the deep another seven: endymion nodding from above sees in the sea a second love. how do the ideas in the excerpt compare to poe’s ideas in "the poetic principle"? this celebration of love offers the “lessons of truth” that poe encourages. this scientific reference relates to the “precepts of duty” that poe praises. this reflection of the night sky offers a “contemplation of the beautiful” that poe encourages. this image of heaven encourages the “incitements of passion” that poe praises.
