Where Fairies often did their measures treade,

Which in the meadows made such circles greene,

As if with garlands it had crowned beene,

Or like the circle where the signes we tracke,

And learned shepheards call’t the zodiacke;

Within one of these rounds was to be seene

A hillock rise, where oft the Fairie queene

At twilight sat, and did command her Elves

To pinch those maids that had not swept their shelves;

And further, if by maiden’s oversight,
