Some war with rere-mice for their leathern wings,

005 To make my small elves coats; and some keep back

The clamorous owl, that nightly hoots and wonders

[007] At our quaint spirits. Sing me now asleep;

Then to your offices, and let me rest.

Song.

[009] Fir. Fairy.

You spotted snakes with double tongue.

010 Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen;

Newts and blind-worms, do no wrong,
