18 Jan 14 - 01:19 PM (#3593324) Subject: Lyr Add: Ye (You) Spotted Snakes From: Q (Frank Staplin) Lyr. Add: YE (YOU) SPOTTED SNAKES Shakespeare, music by Richard J. S. Stevens You spotted snakes with double tongue, Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen, Newts and blind-worm, do no wrong, Come not near our fairy queen. Philomel, with melody Sing in our sweet lullaby; Lulla, lulla, lullaby, lulla, lulla lullaby: So, good night, with lullaby. Weaving spiders, come not here; Hence, you long-legg'd spinners, hence; Beetles black, approach not near; Worn nor snail, do not offence. There are other settings. From "Midsummer Night's Dream." A recent CD by the Clerks of Christ Church, "A Garland of Elizabethan." A version on youtube. |
