Lyrics
Spotted Snakes
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 legg?d Spinners, hence:
Beetles black approach not near;
Worm nor Snail do no offence.
