Description

This is based on my setting of the witches’ incantation in Shakespeare’s Macbeth
“1st WITCH Thrice the brinded cat hath mew’d.
2nd WITCH. Thrice and once, the hedge-pig whin’d.
3rd WITCH. Harper cries:—’tis time! ’tis time!
1st WITCH. Round about the caldron go;
In the poison’d entrails throw.—
Toad, that under cold stone,
Days and nights has 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. (etc)”
