XCVIII
THE FAIRY QUEEN |

 |

|
When mortals are at rest, And snoring in their nest, Unheard and unespied, Through key-holes we do glide ; Over tables, stools, and shelves, We trip it, with our fairy elves. |

|
And, if the house be foul
With platter, dish, or bowl.
Up stairs we nimbly creep
And find the sluts asleep :
Then we pinch their arms and thighs,
None us hears, nor none espies. |
|||
|
But if the house be swept, And from uncleanness kept, |
