but ’tis strange

But ’tis strange

and oftentimes, to win us to our harm,

the instruments of darkness tell us truths,

win us with honest trifles, to betray’s

in deepest consequence.

 

it is strange: often, in order to do us harm, the witches tell us things that are truths about matters of small importance and then betrays our relation of something of importance.

    1) Watch your missing capital letters.
    2) The last part of your translation doesn’t make grammatical sense. Can you re-type it?
