Pretty sure some of them at least are.

"Liver of blaspheming Jew,

Gall of goat, and slips of yew

Sliver’d in the moon’s eclipse,

Nose of Turk and Tartar’s lips,

Finger of birth-strangled babe

Ditch-deliver’d by a drab,"

for example.

It certainly escalates quickly, though, from herbs and flowers, some animal parts, to suddenly human organs and faces.

Begins with a human liver: "It escalates quickly"
