" Macbeth "

Act IV, Scene one:

A cavern. In the middle, a boiling cauldron

First Witch:

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.

ALL:

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

Second 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.

etc.

True. It's not a new theory. I bought myself an ultraviolet lamp last year.

I suppose now someone will now tell me I'll get skin cancer.
