Philomel With Melody lyrics

Chorus

Philomel, With Melody

Sing in our sweet lullaby.

Philomel, with melody

Sing in our sweet lullaby

I

You spotted snakes with double tongue,

Thorny hedge-hogs, be not seen

Newts and blind-worms, do no wrong,

Come not near our fairy queen.

[Chorus]

Lulla, lulla, lullaby,

lulla, lulla, lullaby:

lulla, lulla, lullaby (lullaby)

lulla, lulla, lullaby

II=I

You spotted snakes with double tongue,

Thorny hedge-hogs, be not seen

Newts and blind-worms, do no wrong,

Come not near our fairy queen.

[Chorus]

III

Weaving spiders, come not here;

Hence, you long-legg’d spinners, hence!

Beetles black, approach not near;

Worm nor snail, do no offence.

Chorus

Philomel, with melody

Sing in our sweet lullaby.

Never harm, nor spell nor charm,

Come our lovely lady nigh;

So, good night, with lullaby.
