from Macbeth
A dark Cave. In the middle, a Caldron boiling. Thunder.
Enter the three Witches.
1 WITCH. Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd.
2 WITCH. Thrice and once, the hedge-pig whin'd.
3 WITCH. Harpier cries:—'tis time! 'tis time!
1 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.
2 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 owlet'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.
3 WITCH.
Scale of dragon; tooth of wolf;
Witches' 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-strangled babe
Ditch-deliver'd by a drab,—
Make the gruel thick and slab:
Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,
For the ingrediants of our caldron.
ALL.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
2 WITCH.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.

"Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog"
AND
'Double, double toil and trouble'
are the only lines I remembered from this cut of Macbeth.
At the time I had a friend named Newton, Newt for short. T'was his eye that was boiled. hahahahah
Thanks for the memory?????? ha!
Believe it or not Newt sits on the front pew in church now, maybe this has something to do with it.
Halloween must be near!!!!!!
"Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble." I remembered that phrase since childhood...However, if this had been one of those TV shows and by giving correct answers you would win a million dollars - I would have lost! ☻ You know when to post!
Now this is truly an original Halloween post. Nice job (as usual!)
Very witchy! Love it! - Kathy
Spooktacular! ... so that's where that recipe came from ~ here I thought it was a granny b. original. haha
