Why Hoppo and Stadlin, Hellwain and Puckle!
STADLIN
[Within] Here, sweating at the vessel.
HECATE      Boil it well.
HOPPO [Within] It gallops now.
HECATE      Are the flames blue enough? 10
Or shall I use a little seeton more?
STADLIN
[Within] The nips of fairies upon maids’ white hips
Are not more perfect azure.
HECATE      Tend it carefully.
Send Stadlin to me with a brazen dish,
That I may fall to work upon these serpents, 15
And squeeze ’em ready for the second hour.
Why when?

[Enter STADLIN with the dish]
