ALL, dancing in a circle
The Weïrd Sisters, hand in hand,
Posters of the sea and land,
Thus do go about, about,
Thrice to thine and thrice to mine
And thrice again, to make up nine.

...th’ charmèd pot.
The Witches circle the cauldron.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
...boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
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 chaudron
For th’ ingredience of our cauldron.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
...’t you do?
A deed without a name.
...Speak. Demand.
We’ll answer.
...Into the flame.
Come high or low;
Thyself and office deftly show.
...top of sovereignty?
Listen but speak not to ’t.
...in this kingdom?
Seek to know no more.
...this? Show. Show.
Show.
Show his eyes and grieve his heart.
Come like shadows; so depart.
...his welcome pay.
Music. The Witches dance and vanish.
