"You spotted snakes with double tongue
Thorny hedgehogs be not see;
Newts and blind worms do no wrong.
Come not near our fairy queen
Thorny hedgehogs be not see;
Newts and blind worms do no wrong.
Come not near our fairy queen
Chorus
"Philomel with melody,
Sing in our sweet lullaby.
Lulla, lulla, lullaby; Lulla, lulla, lullaby.
Never harm, nor spell, nor charm.
Come our lovely lady night,
so good night with lullaby..."
Sing in our sweet lullaby.
Lulla, lulla, lullaby; Lulla, lulla, lullaby.
Never harm, nor spell, nor charm.
Come our lovely lady night,
so good night with lullaby..."

"Weaving spiders, come not near.
Hence you long-legg'd spinners, hence!
Beetles, balck, approach not here
Worms nor snails do no offense..
Hence you long-legg'd spinners, hence!
Beetles, balck, approach not here
Worms nor snails do no offense..
Chorus
"Philomel with melody,

Come our lovely lady night,
so good night with lullaby..."
Sing in our sweet lullaby.
Lulla, lulla, lullaby; Lulla, lulla, lullaby.
Never harm, nor spell, nor charm.
Come our lovely lady night,
