3. Maléfice
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Trois fois le chat miaula,
Trois fois gémit le hérisson.
Une harpie cria: "C'est l'heure, c'est l'heure! "
Toutes autour du chaudron !
Dans ses entrailles empoisonnées
Jétons d'abord le crapaud venimeux.
Vites, vite, que le feu pétille
Et que la marmite furieusement bouillonne.
Mêlez œils de lézard,
Pattes de grenouille, ailes de chouette,
langues de vipères, duvet du chauvesouris.
Mêlez écailles de dragon, dents de loup,
panses de requins ;
Mêelez cigües déracinées sous la lune ;
Et brins de cyprès, 
Cœurs de pendus arrachés au gibet ;
Et mains croches d'usuriers, 
et d'infidèles les foies,
nez de Turcs, doigts d'enfants, 
lèvres féroces de Tartares.
Que par les charmes tout-puissants,
Que par les noires incantation, 
filles des ténèbres,
Le brouet d'enfer soit à point !
