from the scene with the witches in Macbeth:  
[QUOTE=WmShakespeare]  
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 owlet’s wing,—  
For a charm of powerful trouble,  
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.  
[/QUOTE]  
is this the end of zombie Shakespeare?

The Witches from MacBeth:

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.

The same scene also gives us ‘Double, double, toil and trouble’ (oft misquoted as ‘bubble, bubble’).

I have to know the complete works of Shakespeare too, to be able to compete?? The list just gets longer and longer 🙂

_Goes of to make a “Halldór Laxnes”-Feud (expected number of participants: 1. Hence I’ll win 😉 )_
