Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blindworm's sting,16
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing—
For a charm of powerful trouble
Like a hellbroth boil and bubble.
ALL
Double, double toil and trouble,20
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
THIRD WITCH
Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
23 Witch's mummy, maw and gulf 24 Of the ravined salt-sea shark, Root of hemlock digged i' th' dark,
Liver of blaspheming Jew,
Gall of goat, and slips of yew
Slivered in the moon's eclipse,
Nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips,
30 Finger of birth-strangled babe 31 Ditch-delivered by a drab 32 Make the gruel thick and slab.
33 Add thereto a tiger's chawdron For th' ingredience of our cauldron.
ALL
Double, double toil and trouble,
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
SECOND WITCH
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
38 Then the charm is firm and good.
Enter Hecate and the other three Witches.
HECATE
O, well done! I commend your pains,
40 And every one shall share i' th' gains.
And now about the cauldron sing
Like elves and fairies in a ring,
