The Shakespeare Birthday Speech 2011, issued by The ShakespeareBirthplace Trust, Stratford-upon-Avon
This is the text for 2011's shared speech, which is used as the global Birthday Challenge.
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 owlet'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.
From Macbeth, Act 4, scene 1. lines 10-20
Please let us know how you use the speech!
