Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
Our days begin with trouble here,
Our life is but a span,
And cruel death is always near,
So frail a thing is man.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Patience is the best remedy for every trouble.
Softly sweet, in Lydian measures,
Soon he sooth'd his soul to pleasures.
War, he sung, is toil and trouble;
Honour but an empty bubble;
Never ending, still beginning,
Fighting still, and still destroying.
If all the world be worth the winning,
Think, oh think it worth enjoying:
Lovely Thais sits beside thee,
Take the good the gods provide thee.
Up! up! my friend, and quit your books,
Or surely you 'll grow double!
Up! up! my friend, and clear your looks!
Why all this toil and trouble?
