    Macbeth (Act IV, Scene 1)
    "The Witches' spell", performed by Octavia Selena Alexandru.
    "Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd.
    Thrice and once the hedge-pig whined.
    Harpier cries "'Tis time, 'tis time."
    Round about the cauldron 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.
    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's 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.
    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
    Silver'd 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.
    Double, double, toil and trouble;
    Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
    Cool it with a baboon's blood,
    Then the charm is firm and good.
    O well done! I commend your pains;
    And every one shall share i' the gains;
    And now about the cauldron sing,
    Live elves and fairies in a ring,
    Enchanting all that you put in.
    By the pricking of my thumbs,
    Something wicked this way comes.
    Open, locks,
    Whoever knocks!"

    While teaching us MacBeth, my high school teacher insisted that all the spells in the play were genuine spells that Shakespeare had stolen from the witches to use in his play. She said that the witches were furious with Shakespeare for sharing their secrets 😂 (she was perfectly serious by the way)

    Solid. Gotta be hard to do this monologue standing still in close up. Instincts should be wanting to move around on this one, stirring, filling the cauldron, finding ingredients and putting them in, etc.
