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' the
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 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 cauldron
bubble.
