lyrics

Act II, Scene i, Lines 2-15:
Over hill, over dale,
[Through the] bush, [and through the] brier,
Over park, over pale,
[Through the] flood, [and through the] fire,
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the [lunar] sphere;
And I serve the Fairy Queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green.
The cowslips tall her pensioners be:
In their gold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favors,
In those freckles live their savors.
I must go seek some dewdrops here,
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.

Act II, Scene ii, Lines 9-26:
You spotted snakes with double tongue,
Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen;
Newts and blindworms, do no wrong,
Come not near our Fairy Queen.
Philomel, with melody
Sing in our sweet lullaby;
Lulla, lulla, lullaby, lulla, lulla, lullaby:
Never harm
Nor spell nor charm,
Come our lovely lady nigh;
So, good night, with lullaby.
Weaving spiders, come not here;
Hence, you long-legged spinners, hence!
Beetles black, approach not near;
Worm nor snail, do no offense.
Philomel, with melody, &c.
Hence, away! Now all is well.
One aloof stand sentinel.
