Round about the cauldron go
In the poison'd entrails throw
Toad that under cold stone
Days and nights hast thirty one
Swelter'd venom sleeping got
Boil though first i charmed pot
Double, double, toil and trouble,
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
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 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 cauldron bubble.
Three Witches from Macbeth
by
William Shakespeare

ReplyDeleteLacrimosa dies illa
Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus.
Huic ergo parce, Deus:
Pie Jesu Domine,
Dona eis requiem. Amen.
(Full of tears shall be that day
On which from ashes shall arise
The guilty man to be judged;
Therefore, O God, have mercy on him.
Gentle Lord Jesus,
grant them eternal rest. Amen.)
Lacrimosa (Wikipedia)
