Of gnats and midges, wasps and flies,

Like the whirlwind shaft it rist.

Drawn up I was right off my feet,

Into the mist and off my feet;

And, dancing on each chimney-top,

I saw a thousand darling imps

Keeping time with skip and hop.

And on the provost's brave ridge-tile,

On the provost's grand ridge-tile,

The Blackamoor first to master me
