Dare you hunt your hollow'd green?
None but fairies here are seen.
Down and sleep Wake and weep,
Pinch him black, and pinch him blue,
That seeks to steal a lover true !
When you come to hear us sing,
Or to tread our fairy ring,
Pinch him black, and pinch him blue !
Oh, thus our nails shall handle you !
