[Goes to the Bower and lies down.

AIR.

1st. Fai. You spotted snakes with double tongue,
Thorny hedge-hogs, be not seen,
Newts and blind-worms, do no wrong,
Come not near our fairy Queen.
Philomel with melody,
Sing in your sweet lullaby,
Lulla, lulla, lullaby, lulla, lulla, lullaby:
Never harm, nor spell, nor charm,
Come our lovely Lady nigh,
So good night with lullaby.

II.

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

Philomel with melody, &c.

Hence away! now all is well;
One aloof stand centinel. [Exeunt Fairies.

Enter Oberon and First Fairy.

[Oberon squeeses the Juice of the Flower on the Queen's Eyes.
