Macbeth Pins and Buttons
Description: Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Act 4, Scene 1: “Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and caldron bubble. Fillet of a fenny snake, In the caldron 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 caldron bubble. Cool it with a baboon’s blood, Then the charm is firm and good."
Description: The Tragic Story of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, more commonly referred to by the abbreviated title Hamlet, is the longest and one of William Shakespeare's most famous plays. The exact date of its composition is not precisely known; the first performance is surely between 1598 and 1601. The text was published in 1603.
