Macbeth

What is Macbeth saying in this quote?

This supernatural soliciting Cannot be ill, cannot be good: if ill, Why hath it given me earnest of success, Commencing in a truth? I am thane of Cawdor: If good, why do I yield to that suggestion Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair And make my seated heart knock at my ribs, Against the use of nature? Present fears Are less than horrible imaginings: My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical, Shakes so my single state of man that function Is smother'd in surmise, and nothing is But what is not.

Macbeth is trying to make sense of the witches' prophesies. He knows that witches are evil yet he likes what they are telling him. He has already started to think about killing Duncan, which really scares him. Macbeth likes the idea of becoming King but is not yet willing to commit murder and the ultimate treason. Give L. Macbeth a chance to question his manhood and Macbeth will come around!
