By the Moon
Thomas Ravenscroft
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.
