text lyrics
作曲 : Felix MendelssohnTITANIA: Come, now a roundel and a fairy song;Then, for the third part of a minute, hence;Some to kill cankers in the musk-rose buds,Some war with rere-mice for their leathern wings,To make my small elves coats, and some keep backThe clamorous owl that nightly hoots and wondersAt our quaint spirits. Sing me now asleep;Then to your offices and let me rest.FARIES SING:FIRST FARIY: You spotted snakes with double tongue,Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen;Newts and blind-worms, do no wrong,Come not near our fairy queen.Hence, away!etc._Philomel, with melodySing 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.etc.SECOND FAIRY: Weaving spiders, come not here;Hence, you long-legged spinners, hence!Beetles black, approach not near;Worm nor snail, do no offence.etc.FIRST FAIRY: Hence, away! now all is well:One aloof stand sentinel.
