This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

The mountain sat upon the plain

In his eternal chair,

His observation omnifold,

His inquest everywhere.

Like children round a sire:

Grandfather of the days is he,

Of dawn the ancestor.

In act 4 Sc. 1, Lines 97–105: What text reflects Macbeth’s ego and ambition?
Temka [501]
In these lines, Macbeth reacts to the witches telling him he cannot be beaten until "Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill...come against him."

His lines reflect his ego and his ambition because he doesn't even stop to consider the possibility he could be beaten. He immediately says, "That will never be." He is so blinded by ambition that he dismisses the prophecy and looks forward to becoming king.

He says that may the woods never rise until "high-placed Macbeth...live the lease of nature." Here, Macbeth is saying that he foresees himself as king, dying a natural death (likely of old age). His ego and ambition blind him to any other possibility.
