You spotted snake with double tounge, thorny hedgehogs be not seen
Newts and blinds worms do no wrong, do no wrong
Weaving spiders come not here, you long-legged spinners hence
Beetles blacks approach not near, worm nor snail offense
Philomel with melody sing in our sweet lullaby
Come not near our fairy queen, lullaby
Philomel with melody sing in our sweet lullaby
Never harm nor spell nor charm, lullaby
Philomel with melody sing in our sweet lullaby
Come our lovely lady nigh so goodnight with, lullaby
I saw Cupid loose from his bow
Turn a flower purple that was once white as snow
Juice from that flower on those eyes that dream
Will make the sleeper wake to love the next thing it sees
There is a bank where wild thyme blows
There sleeps Titania lulled in flowers and dances
We'll streak her eyes with this juice and make her full of hateful fantasies
I'll put a drop of it in Titania's eyes, when she sleeps
She'll pursue the next thing that she sees
When she wakes whether a lion, bear, a wolf, or a bull
Before I lift this charm I'll make her give up the boy
There is a bank where wild thyme blows
There is a bank where wild thyme blows
There sleeps Titania lulled in flowers and dances
There is a bank where wild thyme blows
There is a bank where wild thyme blows
What you see when you awake, do it for your true love take
Love and languish for his sake
Be it boar with bristled hair
When you wake it shall appear
In your eye it is your dear
So wake when some vile thing is near
What you see when you awake, do it for your true love take
