By the moone we sport and play
With the night begins our day;
As we daunce the deaw doth fall,
Trip it little urchins all:
Lightly as the little Bee,
Two by two and three by three:
And about go we, and about go we.

What Mawmets are these?

O they be the Fayries that haunt these woods.

O we shall be pincht most cruelly.

Will you have any musicke sir?

Will you have any fine musicke sir?

Most daintie musicke?

We must set a face on it now, there's no flying
No sir; we are very merry I thank you.

O but you shall sir.

No. I pray you save your labour.

O sir, it shall not cost you a penny.

Where be your fiddles?

You shall have most daintie instruments sir.

I pray you what might I call you?

My name is Penny.

I am sorry I cannot purse you.

I pray you what might I call you?

My name is Cricket.

I would I were a chimney for your sake.

I do come about the coppes
Leaping upon flowers toppes:
Then I get upon a flie
She carries me above the skie:
And trip and goe.

When a deaw drop falleth downe,
And doth light upon my crowne,
Then I shake my head and skip:
And about I trip.

When I feele a gyrle a sleepe,
Underneathe her frocke I peepe,
There to sport, and there I play,
Then I byte her like a flea,
And about I skip.

I, I thought I should have you.

Wilt please you daunce, sir?

Indeed, sir, I cannot handle my legges.

O you must needs daunce and sing,
Which if you refuse to doo,
We will pinch you blacke and blew,
And about we goe.
[They all daunce in a ring, and sing as followeth:]

[figure description] Page 099.[end figure description]

Round about, round about in a fine ring a,
Thus we daunce, thus we daunce, and thus we sing a,
Trip and go, too and fro, over this greene a:
All about, in and out, for our brave queen a, &c.
