MACBETH
1st Witch. Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd.
2nd Witch. Thrice and once the hedge-pig whin'd.
3rd Witch. Harpier cries:—'Tis time, 'tis time.
1st Witch. 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 thou first i' the charmed pot!
All. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire, burn; and, cauldron, bubble.
2nd Witch. 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.
All. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire, burn; and, cauldron, bubble.
2nd Witch. Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.
UNCLE TOM
This kind-hearted negro, the idol of children, devout and forbearing, has ever made a profound appeal to me.
The make-up is in many respects similar to that of Othello. In fact exactly the same instructions may be followed for shaping the nose.
