YOU spotted snakes with double tongue, 
   Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen; 
Newts and blind-worms, do no wrong; 
   Come not near our fairy queen. 

   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. 

Weaving spiders, come not here; 
   Hence, you long-legg'd 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.
