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.
