The meme is, "when you see this on your friends list, quote Shakespeare."

Where the bee sucks, there suck I
in a cowslip's bell I lie
there I couch when owls do cry
on a bat's back I do fly
after summer merrily
merrily merrily shall I live now
under the blossom that hangs from the bough


[Ariel, from The Tempest. It was the first Shakespeare that popped into my head, and the first I ever learned - when I was six (and apparently born into theatre nerdiness?)]

"Round about the cauldron go.
In the poisoned entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and nights has thiry-one
Sweltered venom sleeping got
Boil thou first i' the charmèd pot.

Double, double toil and trouble,
Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake.
Eye of net and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blindworm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble,
Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
Witches' mummy, maw and gulf
of the ravined salt-sea shark,
Root of hemlock digged i' the dark,
Liver of blaspheming Jew,
Gall of goat and slips of yew
Slivered in the moon's eclipse,
Nose of Turk and Tatar's lips,
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-delivered by a drab,
Make the gruel thick and slab.
Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,
For the ingredients of our caldron.

Double, double toil and trouble,
Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good."

I'm with geno8827. The first Shakespeare that came to my mind was Double Double toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble. (But that's all of it I know).
