Toad Dharmacology


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,

Be thou first i’ the charmed pot.

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

— Macbeth, Act 4, Scene I
