      Actual “Song of the witches” from Macbeth

      Double, double toil and trouble;

      Fire burn and caldron bubble.

      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 howlet’s wing,

      For a charm of powerful trouble,

      Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

      Double, double toil and trouble;

      Fire burn and caldron bubble.

      Cool it with a baboon’s blood,

      Then the charm is firm and good.
