In the Cauldron boyle and bake:
Eye of Newt, and Toe of Frogge,
Wooll of Bat, and Tongue of Dogge:
Adders Forke, and Blinde-wormes Sting,
Lizards legge, and Howlets wing:
For a Charme of powrefull trouble,
Like a Hell-broth, boyle and bubble
All.

our Villa never Austral force
Broke, neither set thereon Favonius' course,
Nor savage Boreas, nor Epeliot's strain,
But fifteen thousand crowns and
hundreds
twain
Wreckt it,--Oh ruinous by-wind, breezy bane!

Quali Alessandro in quelle parti calde
d'India vide sopra 'l suo stuolo
fiamme cadere infino a terra salde,
per ch'ei provide a scalpitar lo suolo
con le sue schiere, accio che lo vapore
mei si
stingueva
mentre ch'era solo:
tale scendeva l'etternale ardore;
onde la rena s'accendea, com' esca
sotto focile, a doppiar lo dolore.

--Before those hermit doors, that never know
The face of
traveller
passing to and fro, 300
No peasant leans upon his pole, to tell
For whom at morning toll'd the funeral bell,
Their watch-dog ne'er his angry bark forgoes,
Touch'd by the beggar's moan of human woes,
The grass seat beneath their casement shade 305
The pilgrim's wistful eye hath never stay'd.
