FIRST WITCH: When shall we three meet again?
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?

SECOND WITCH: When the hurly-burly’s done,
When the battle’s lost and won.

THIRD WITCH: That will be ere the set of sun.

FIRST WITCH: Where’s the place?

SECOND WITCH: Upon the heath.

THIRD WITCH: There to meet with Macbeth.

When I consider the Question, Whether there are such Persons in the World as those we call Witches? my Mind is divided between the two opposite Opinions; or rather (to speak my Thoughts freely) I believe in general that there is, and has been such a thing as Witchcraft; but at the same time can give no Credit to any Particular Instance of it.
