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, 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

Source text · mention onlyFillet of a fenny snake, In the cauldron 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. 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, Silvered 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 ingredients of our cauldron.
