Scena 6.

Chorus of Fairies.
Ring out yee Christall Spheares,
Once blesse our listning eares,
Let your sweet silver chime
(Keeping harmonious time)
Carroll forth your loud layes
In the winged wantons praise.
Mab thou Majestick Queene
Of Fairies, be thou seene
To keep this holyday,
Whilst we dance and play,
And frisk it as we goe
O'th light fantastick toe.
The Satyres and the Fawnes
Shall nimbly crosse the Lawnes,
O're tawny sands, and shelves,
Trip it yee dapper Elves,
Dance by the fountaine brim
Nymphs deck't with Daisies trim,
Come Lovers all in rowes,
With your blith and jolly browes,
With flowry chaplets crown'd,
Come Lovers walke a round
This Village, Venus say,
Annually this day
Her Sonnes triumphs shall be,
Lovers expresse your glee.
Exeunt cantantes.
