What is happening in the quote They hailed him father to a line of kings Upon my head they placed a fruitless crown and put a barren scepter in my grip in Macbeth?

Macbeth is talking about the witches' prophecy to Banquo "Thou shalt get kings thou thou be none". From this Macbeth infers (although the witches did not actually say so) that his children would not be kings. Macbeth translates "thou shalt get kings" into Banquo being the father to "a line of kings". Well, the witches only said "kings"--they didn't say it was more than two. Then he imagines that none of his children would be kings with a couple of synechdoches: he describes the crown as fruitless (without children) and the sceptre as barren (incapable of having children) when it is the king, himself, which he imagines as fruitless and barren. I cannot hear the phrase "a fruitless crown" without imagining Carmen Miranda. Sorry if I have now put this image in your head.
