Song of the Witches (Double, Double Toil and Trouble)
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
I will drain him dry as hay:
Sleep shall neither night nor day
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Round about the cauldron go;
In the poison'd entrails throw.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Weary se'nnights nine times nine
Shall he dwindle, peak and pine:
Though his bark cannot be lost,
Yet it shall be tempest-tost
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Pour in saow's blood, that hath eaten
Her nine farrow; grease that's sweeten
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
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
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.
Hang upon his pent-house lid;
He shall live a man forbid:
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Where hast thou been, sister
