(Mercury)
|
He's a fairy feller
|
The fairy folk have gathered round the new moon shine
|
To see the feller crack a nut at nights noon time
|
To swing his ace he swears, as it climbs he dares
|
To deliver...
|
The master-stroke
|
|
Ploughman, "waggoner will", and types
|
Politician with senatorial pope - he's a dilly-dally-o
|
Pedagogue squinting, wears a frown
|
And a satyr peers under lady's gown, dirty fellow
|
What a dirty laddio
|
Tatterdemalion and a junketer
|
There's a thief and a dragonfly trumpeter - he's my hero
|
Fairy dandy tickling the fancy of his lady friend
|
The nymph in yellow "can we see the master-stroke"
|
What a quaere fellow
|
|
Soldier, sailor, tinker, tailor, ploughboy
|
Waiting to hear the sound
|
And the arch-magician presides
|
He is the leader
|
Oberon and titania watched by a harridan
|
Mab is the queen and there's a good apothecary-man
|
Come to say hello
|
Fairy dandy tickling the fancy of his lady friend
|
The nymph in yellow
|
What a quaere fellow
|
The ostler stares with hands on his knees
|
Come on mr. feller, crack it open if you please
|
