You Spotted Snakes

A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act II, Scene 2

🐍 You spotted snakes with double tongue,
🦔 Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen;
🦎 Newts and blind-worms, do no wrong;
🧚‍♀️ Come not near our fairy queen.
🐦 Philomel, with melody,
🎶 Sing in our sweet lullaby;
🌙 Lulla, lulla, lullaby; lulla, lulla, lullaby!
🛡️ Never harm,
✨ Nor spell nor charm,
👸 Come our lovely lady nigh;
😴 So, good night, with lullaby.
🕷️ Weaving spiders, come not here;
🦵 Hence, you long-legg'd spinners, hence!
🪲 Beetles black, approach not near;
🐚 Worm nor snail, do no offence.
🐦 Philomel, with melody,
🎶 Sing in our sweet lullaby;
🌙 Lulla, lulla, lullaby; lulla, lulla, lullaby!
🛡️ Never harm,
✨ Nor spell nor charm,
👸 Come our lovely lady nigh;
😴 So, good night, with lullaby.
