The Witches stand over a Cauldron chanting: Act four, scene one:


First Witch: Round about the cauldron 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’ th’ charmed pot.
All: Double, double, toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Second Witch: Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron 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, howlet’s wing:
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth, boil and bubble.
All: Double, double, toil and trouble,
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
