¶Lyrics / Text

Thrice tosse these Oaken ashes in the ayre; Thrice sit thou mute in this inchanted chayre: And thrice three times tye up this true loves knot, And murmur soft shee will, or shee will not. Goe burn these poys'nous weedes in yon blew fire, These Screech-owles fethers, and this prickling bryer, This Cypresse gathered at a dead mans grave; That all thy feares and cares an end may have. Then come you Fayries, dance with me a round, Melt her hard hart with your melodious sound: In vaine are all the charms I can devise, She hath an Arte to breake them with her eyes.
