歌词
TITANIA: Come, now a roundel and a fairy song;
提泰妮姬:来,跳一轮仙舞,唱一曲仙歌,
Then, for the third part of a minute, hence;
在余下的二十秒内,大家分头行动,
Some to kill cankers in the musk-rose buds,
你们几个去消灭藤月季嫩苞里的害虫,
Some war with rere-mice for their leathern wings,
你们几个去和蝙蝠作战,
To make my small elves coats, and some keep back
剥下皮翅来给本官的小仙们做衣袋,
The clamorous owl that nightly hoots and wonders
余下的几个去驱退夜夜啼叫、呆看
At our quaint spirits. Sing me now asleep;
我们这班伶俐小仙的猫头鹰。唱歌助本宫入眠吧,
Then to your offices and let me rest.
唱完就各忙各的,让本宫稍事休息。
FARIES SING:
(仙子们唱:)
FIRST FARIY: You spotted snakes with double tongue,
仙子甲:舌尖分岔的花蛇,
Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen;
扎人的刺猬,别出来。
Newts and blind-worms, do no wrong,
蝾螈、蝰蛇莫捣乱,
Come not near our fairy queen.
远离我们大家的仙后。
Hence, away!
去吧!
etc.

Sing in our sweet lullaby;
与我们同唱安神曲:
Lulla, lulla, lullaby, lulla, lulla, lullaby:
安神,安神,安神曲,安神,安神,安神曲。
Never harm,
灾殃、
Nor spell nor charm,
符咒、魔法永退散,
Come our lovely lady nigh;
让可爱的仙后享平安。
So, good night, with lullaby.
晚安,入睡吧!

SECOND FAIRY: Weaving spiders, come not here;
仙子乙:结网的蜘蛛,别过来,
Hence, you long-legged spinners, hence!
长脚的蜉蝣快走开!
Beetles black, approach not near;
黑色的甲虫,别靠近,
Worm nor snail, do no offence.
别冒失,小虫和蜗牛。

仙子甲:去吧,都安顿好了,
One aloof stand sentinel.
