An Excellent new Song, call'd,
The FAIRY QUEEN,
OR, THE
Merry Companions.

Sing, sing whilst we trip it, trip trip it,
trip trip it upon the Green,
Let no ill vapours rise or fall,
Let no ill vapours rise or fall,
No nothing, no nothing offend,
Let nothing offend our Fairy Queen,
Let nothing, let nothing, let nothing
Let nothing offend our Fairy Queen.

The Queen is a coming, come coming,
Come coming with all her Train,
Let's hand and dance a round for joy,
Let's hand and dance a round for joy,
While Musick, while Musick does sound,
While Musick does sound upon the Plain,
While Musick, while Musick, while Musick,
While Musick does sound upon the Plain.

Now let us be singing, sing singing, sing
singing in praise o' th' Queen,
Her beauty does excel the World,
Her beauty does excel the World,

No Goddess, no Goddess so fair,
No Goddess so fair is to be seen,
No Goddess, no Goddess, no Goddess,
No Goddess so fair is to be seen.

All joy to the fair one, the fair one,
The fair one our Gracious Queen,
She is the chief of Love's delight,
She is the chief of Love's delight,
Let no one, let no one offend,
Let no one offend her on the Green,
Let no one, let no one, let no one,
Let no one offend her on the Green.

Come let us all follow, fol follow, fol
Follow our Queen each way,
Let it be to the Woods or Plain,
Let it be to the Woods of Plain,
We'll trip it, we'll trip it along,
We'll trip it along till break of day,
We'll trip it, we'll trip it, we'll trip it,
We'll trip it along till break of day.
