When Shakespeare abandons his usual meter, something significant usually occurs. He might do that to demonstrate that someone has gone insane. Or to get really vital news.

So, what exactly is going on here? Shakespeare seems to be modifying his manner in order to distinguish the witches from the rest of the gang. Iambic pentameter is used by the aristocrats. The simple people talk in prose (or lines with no meter.) And the witches talk in trochaic tetrameter, complete with rhymes.

In fact, they chant in a singsong style that sounds eerily similar to a terrifying nursery rhyme. The meter and rhyme make the chanting seem a touch foolish, particularly to contemporary listeners who may not believe in witchcraft.
