From Hersheys
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 bling-worms sting, Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon's blood, Then the charm is firm and good.
~ By William Shakespeare ~
