“Round about the caldron go; In the poison’d entrails throw.“

“TOAD, that under cold stone
Days and nights has thirty-one
Swelter’d venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot.”
“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.“

END NOTES
For those who may not know, the words in this post are from Act IV – Scene I – in William Shakespeare’s tragedy- MacBeth (written 1606-07); a tale of achieving ultimate power through treachery and murder, and the personal madness that ensues.
I did research toads and frogs. Frogs have bigger back legs for jumping. Toads have bumpy skin and frogs have smooth skin. There are green toads. I believe this is a Froad or a Trog.
