• 1 WITCH. Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd.
  2 WITCH. Thrice and once, the hedge-pig whin'd.
  3 WITCH. Harpier cries:—'tis time! 'tis time!
  1 WITCH. Round about the caldron go;
  In the poison'd entrails throw.—
  Toad, that under cold stone,
  Days and nights has thirty-one;
  Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
  Boil thou first i' the charmed pot!
  ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
  Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
  2 WITCH. Fillet of a fenny snake,
  In the caldron boil and bake;
  Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
  Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
  Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
  Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,—
  For a charm of powerful trouble,
  Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
  ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
  Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
  3 WITCH. Scale of dragon; tooth of wolf;
  Witches' mummy; maw and gulf
  Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark;
  Root of hemlock digg'd i the dark;
  Liver of blaspheming Jew;
  Gall of goat, and slips of yew
  Sliver'd in the moon's eclipse;
  Nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips;
  Finger of birth-strangled babe
  Ditch-deliver'd by a drab,—
  Make the gruel thick and slab:
  Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,
  For the ingrediants of our caldron.
  ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
  Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
  2 WITCH. Cool it with a baboon's blood,
  Then the charm is firm and good.
