THE BREW THAT IS TRUE

"DOUBLE, DOUBLE TOIL AND TROUBLE FIRE BURN, AND CAULDRON BUBBLE.
FILLET OF 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,
DOUBLE, DOUBLE TOIL AND TROUBLE; FIRE BURN, AND CAULDRON BUBBLE."
From Hamlet by
William Shakespeare

FROM THE COURT JESTER WITH DANNY KAYE - A movie

......for Rich, Ray, and Rod

         
I've got it! I've got it! The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true! Right?
Griselda: Right. But there's been a change: they broke the chalice from the palace!
Hawkins: They *broke* the chalice from the palace?
Griselda: And replaced it with a flagon.
Hawkins: A flagon...?
Griselda: With the figure of a dragon.
Hawkins: Flagon with a dragon.
Griselda: Right.
Hawkins: But did you put the pellet with the poison in the vessel with the pestle?
Griselda: No! The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon! The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!
Hawkins: The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon; the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true.
Griselda: Just remember that.
