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 wee. I do come about the coppes, Leaping upon the flowers toppes: Then I get upon a flie, Shee carried 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. Two by two, and three by three: And about go we, and about go wee.
