First witch: Round about the cauldron go—
In the poisoned entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and nights has thirty-one,
Sweltered venom sleeping got
Boil thou first i’th’ charmèd 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 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.

Third witch: Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
Witch’s mummy, maw and gulf
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;
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-delivered by a drab:
Make the gruel thick and slab;
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,
Then the charm is firm and good.
