He was also speechless when he found out you fought against the rebels and the army of Norway on the same day, not afraid of death, that was spreading all around you.

Macbeth doth come.

Can post with post, and every one did bear
Thy praises in his kingdom's great defense,
And poured them down before him.
ANGUS
We are sent
To give thee from our royal master thanks,
Only to herald thee into his sight,
Not pay thee.

Paraphrase 

A stream of messengers gushed with praise for how you defended his country.
ANGUS
We've been sent to give you the king's thanks and to escort you to him, but we don't have your reward.

FIRST WITCH: All hail Macbeth! Hail to you, thane of Glamis!
SECOND WITCH: All hail,Macbeth, hail to you, thane of Cawdor!
THIRD WITCH: All hail, Macbeth, you will be king in the future!
BANQUO: Good Sir, why do you start; and seem afraid of those words that predict such beautiful things for you? 
Are you illusory or what you externally appeare to be?
My noble partner was greeted by his current title and great prediction of becoming a king, because of all that he seems astonished : you haven't spoken to me yet.
If you can look into the seeds of time (= the future) and say which grain will grow and which won't, speak then to me, who neither beg nor fear your favours nor your hate. ]]> 2017-10-28 16:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/gaiaminutoli1/3zx755jpumjp/wish/201422662 Act 1, scene 3 vv. 61-78 saradaruos https://padlet.com/gaiaminutoli1/3zx755jpumjp/wish/201428727 Paraphrase:
FIRST WITCH: Hail!
SECOND WITCH: Hail!
THIRD WITCH: Hail!
FIRST WITCH: You're less (in royal ranks) than Macbeth but greater
SECOND WITCH: You won't be happy as Macbeth but much happier
THIRD WITCH: Your descendants will become kings, although you will not rule. So all hail, Macbeth and Banquo.
FIRST WITCH: Banquo and Macbeth, all hail.
MACBETH: Stay, you didn't tell me anything, tell me more. I know I am the thane of Glamis because of my father Sinel's death. But how can I become the thane of Cawdor? He's alive and he's a rich gentleman, and I think it's unbelievable to become king, as it's to become thane of Cawdor. Tell me where you got this strange information, or why you stopped our way at this desolate place with these prophecies. Speak, I charge you. 

Analysis:
The witches have already comunicated to Macbeth that he would become king of Cawdor and now they're telling Banquo that he will be father of the future generation of kings. Macbeth orders witches to tell him more about his future but they vanish suddenly.

BANQUO: What? Can the devil say the truth?
MACBETH: The thane of Cawdor is still alive: how can you pretend that his title is now mine?
ANGUS: The former thane is still alive; but he fought on Norway's side, or if he secretly helped the rebels, if he fought with both of our enemies, I don't know; but his capital betrayal, that was proven and to which he confessed, removed him from power.
Analysis
These lines refer to the previously seen episode in the scene 2, where, after the Thane of Cawder's betrayal was discovered,  king Duncan decided to assign this title to Macbeth, who was already Thane of Glamis.

MACBETH: (to himself) If fate wants me to be king, perhaps fate will just make it happen and I won't have to do anything
BANQUO: new honours he has received, like our new clothes, they don't fit well, but they will grow in over time.
MACBETH: (to himself) come what may, no matter what,  this roughest day is run by time and hours
BANQUO: worthy Macbeth, we are waiting for you

analysis:
shakespeare soliloques reflect an interior monologur, banquo and company see macbeth musing himself but not necessarily talking to himself. Banquo also thinks that macbeth just need to get used to his new title of thane of cawdor. While macbeth thinks that if the witches were right he doesn't have to do anything because it is fate. then he deliberates upon the events which are to befall him, but finding no satisfaction from his own thoughts, he grows impatient of reflection, and resolves to wait the close without harrassing himself with conjectures, he then comforts himself with the reflection that all his perplexity must have an end.

FIRST WITCH: Where have you been, sister?
SECOND WITCH: Killing pig.
THIRD WITCH: And you, sister?
FIRST WITCH: A sailor's wife had chestnuts in her lap and munched them. "Give me one" I said. "Get away from me, witch!" cried the fat woman. Her husband has gone to Aleppo, as captain of the Tiger. I'll sail to that place in a sieve and, transformed in a rat without a tail, I'll do things to him.
SECOND WITCH: I'll give you some wind!
FIRST WITCH: How kind of you!
THIRD WITCH: And I'll give you some more.
Comment
The atmosphear is dark and the witches are conspiring against a sailor. But who is this sailor? It's Macbeth, whose future is predicted with metaphors. In the first line there are immediately some shakespearian words: "thou" for "you", "hast" for "have". In first witch's words (lines 4-11) we can find some repetitions that have the function to give enphasis to the speech. Noticeable is the allitteration "rump-fed runnion". The style is not high, acccording to the condition of the characters.

(to ROSS and ANGUS) Thank you, gentlemen. (to himself) This supernatural temptation doesn’t seem like it can be a bad thing, but it can’t be good either. If it’s a bad thing, why was I promised a promotion that turned out to be true? Now I’m the thane of Cawdor, just like they said I would be. But if this is a good thing, why do I find myself thinking about murdering King Duncan, a thought so horrifying that it makes my hair stand on end and my heart pound inside my chest? The dangers that actually threaten me here and now frighten me less than the horrible things I’m imagining.
Even though it’s just a fantasy, the mere thought of committing murder shakes me up so much that I hardly know who I am anymore. My ability to act is smothered by my thoughts and speculations, and the only things that matter to me are things that don’t really exist.

Weird sisters, hand in hand, 
travellers of the sea and land, 
dance around, around:
thrice to you and thrice to me
and thrice again, to make up nine.
Peace! the spell is ready.
(Macbeth and Banquo enter)
MACBETH:
I have never seen such a foul and fairy day.
BANQUO:
How far is it to Forres? What are these witches
so weird and so wild in their dresses,
they do not look like human beings,
are you here? are you alive? Or are you anyone?
A man may ask. it seems you understand me, 
because eah of you has put a gruesome finger 
to her skinny lips:
you should be women, 
but beards make me unable to say
if you are women.

Macbeth
I beg your pardon,I was distracted.Kind gentleman,I won't forget the trouble you've taken for me whenever I think of this day.Let's go to the King.(speaking so that only Banquo can hear)Think about what happened today and when we've both had time to consider things
Banquo
Absolutely
Macbeth
Until then,we've said enough (to Ross and Angus)Let's go,my friends
[They all exit]
Analisys 
Macbeth has already understood that he would become a king as he was predicted by the witches and so he decides to go to the King with his mates Banquo Angus and Ross

MACBETH: (to himself) It’s just like they said—now I’m the thane of Glamis and the thane of Cawdor. And the best part of what they predicted is still to come. (to ROSS and ANGUS)Thank you for the news. (speaking so that only BANQUO can hear) Aren’t you beginning to hope your children will be kings? After all, the witches who said I was thane of Cawdor promised them nothing less.
BANQUO: If you trust what they say, you might be on your way to become king, as well as thane of Cawdor. But this whole thing is strange. The agents of evil often tell us part of the truth in order to lead us to our destruction. They earn our trust by telling us the truth about little things, but then they betray us when it damages us the most. (to ROSS and ANGUS) Gentlemen, I’d like to have a word with you, please.
 Analysis
Macbeth starts to believe the witches, Banquo doesn't believe them because he thinks that "the agents of evil" tell them only a part of the truth and if they trust the witches, they will betray them and that would be their ruin

FIRST WITCH: I'm already master of all the other winds and of all the ports from they blow and I know every direction on the compass that they can blow (=the witch can keep the sailor from every shore). I'll exhaust him until he's dry as hay and won't let him sleep neither night or day. He will live as a damned man. For eighty-one tiring weeks he will always become sickly and waste away from sorrow. Although I can't destroy his boat, I can still hit it with storms. Look what I have got.
SECOND WITCH: Show me, show me
ANALYSIS
The first witch recall us to the world of the supernatural of act 1 scene 1. We can understand that the witches can do whatever they want, sometimes involving problems to the other characters.
There are four couples of rhymes at the lines 15 - 16, 18 - 19, 20 - 21, 22 - 23.
Shakespeare at the 22nd line uses "nine times nine" instead of eighty-one as a periphrasis. Number "nine" was mystical as "seven" to almost every civilization in history, but "nine" is particularly important to the forces of evil.

COMMENT
The three witches meet Macbeth and Banquo. They predict Macbeth that in the future he will be king. Banquo asks them why they don't talk to him and says that he isn't afraid of anything.

PARAPHRASE

ROSS: The King was happy to receive the news of your success, Machbet, and when he heard the story of your challenge in the fight against rebels, he couldn't decide whether to praise you or just be silently amazed. He was also speechless when he found out you fought against the rebels and the army of Norway on the same day, not afraid of death, that was spreading all around you. 

COMMENT
Ross, one of the king's messenger, tells us about what Macbeth has done in the battle against the rebel army and the army of Norway. The enviroment described, is the same scenery of death, blood and violence of the 2nd scene. At the beginning, the hero is universally loved for his bravery, his value and his strenght in war. But the last two lines let us imagine how Macbeth will change during the play: he'll become a cruel character, without pity and guilt.
