"Nectar in a sieve" represents the pointlessness of having work without hope. After all, if you put nectar in a sieve, it all just goes through. So, the first line is saying that work needs a motivation, which would be hope. Otherwise no one would work.
The second line on the other hand is about how hope can only survive if it has something to return. For example, you can't hope endlessly if there is no substance and work to back it up. This line I got in a debate with my friend about. That was my interpretation. My friend said that it means hope needs a person (which is the object) to be hoping. Otherwise hope wouldn't exist.
All in all, the lines mean that work needs hope and hope needs work. At least, that's what I think =]

Why did the witches harm the fat lady's husband in Macbeth?
Not all women are wicked in the Shakespearean play 'The Tragedy of Macbeth'. In fact, there's a contrast between women behaving respectfully and women behaving badly. There are two clear examples of behavior respectful to the family and the social order within which the family fits. One is the gentlewoman who tends to the insane Lady Macbeth [Act 5 Scene 1]. The other is Lady Macduff, who becomes a single parent after her husband flees Scotland for England [Act 4 Scene 2]. There are six examples of womanly behavior that clearly is disrespectful to the family and the society within which the family fits. Those six representatives are the original three witches [Act 1 Scenes 1-2, and Act 4 Scene 1] who subsequently are joined by lead witch Hecate [Act 3 Scene 5] and two more witches [Act 4 Scene 1]. Their behavior tears apart the families of Scotland, and results in the death of two kings. Tenuously and questionably in between the two extremes is Lady Macbeth. She clearly is devoted to the childless couple that she and her husband form. But she doesn't temper that devotion within a clearly moral framework of right and wrong for family and for society. Additionally, women aren't the only wicked characters in the play. For the tragedy abounds with evil, wicked male characters. Once again, that evil is defined in terms of wicked disrespect for family and the society within which the family unit fits.
