Watch out thing lurking around the faery queen

Posted on January 10, 2012 by Mary Beth Frezon

You spotted snakes with double tongue,
Thorny hedge-hogs, be not seen;
Newts, and blind-worms, do no wrong;
Come not near our fairy queen. (2.1.9)

Weaving spiders come not here;
Hence you long-legged spinners, hence!
Beetles black, approach not near;
Worm nor snail, do no offence. (2.2.20)

from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Wm Shakespeare
