SONG V.

THE PRANKS OF ROBIN GOOD-FELLOW.

From Oberon, in fairy-land,The king of ghosts and shadows there,Mad Robin I, at his command,Am sent to view the night-sports here;   What revel-rout   Is kept aboutIn every corner where I go,   I will o'ersee,   And merry be,And make good sport, with ho, ho, ho!
More swift than lightning can I flyAbout this airy welkin soon,And, in a minutes space, descryEach thing that's done below the moon:   There's not a hag,   Nor ghost shall wag,
