A SONG FROM A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM 

Act 2 Scene 2 

You spotted snakes with double tongue,
Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen;
Newts and blindworms, do no wrong;
Come not near our Fairy Queen.

Weaving spiders, come not here;
Hence, you long-legged spinners, hence;
Beetles black, approach not near;
Worm nor snail do no offence.

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
