Full Quote from Macbeth Act IV Scene 1
FIRST WITCH.
Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd.


SECOND WITCH.
Thrice; and once the hedge-pig whin'd.


THIRD WITCH.
Harpier cries:--"tis time, 'tis time.


FIRST WITCH.
Round about the caldron 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 caldron, bubble.


SECOND WITCH.
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.


ALL.
Double, double, toil and trouble;
Fire, burn; and caldron, bubble.


THIRD WITCH.
Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
Witch's mummy, maw and gulf
Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark,
Root of hemlock digg'd i' the dark,
Liver of blaspheming Jew,
Gall of goat, and slips of yew
Sliver'd in the moon's eclipse,
Nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips,
Finger of birth-strangl'd babe
Ditch-deliver'd by a drab,--
Make the gruel thick and slab:
Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,
For the ingredients of our caldron.


ALL.
Double, double, toil and trouble;
Fire, burn; and caldron, bubble.


SECOND WITCH.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.


[Enter Hecate.]


HECATE.
O, well done! I commend your pains;
And everyone shall share i' the gains.
And now about the cauldron sing,
Like elves and fairies in a ring,
Enchanting all that you put in.


Song.
Black spirits and white, red spirits and gray;
Mingle, mingle, mingle, you that mingle may.


[Exit Hecate.]


SECOND WITCH.
By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes:--
Open, locks, whoever knocks!
