Harnesey, or Hornesey-parke, and is 
ealled Lodghill, for that thereon some- 
time stoode a lodge, when the parke was 
replenished with deare, but it seemeth 
by the foundation, that it was rather a

‘ day trenched with two deepe ditches, 
now olde and overgrowne with bushes: 
the rubble thereof, as bricke, tile, and 
Cornish slate, are in -heapes yet to be 
seene, which ruines are of great anti- 
guity, as may appeere by the okes, at 
this day standing, (above one hundred 
yeeres growth,) vpon the very foundation 
of the building. It did belong to the

‘© THE FAIRIES FEGARIES,” 
¢ Singing and dancing being all their plea- 
sure, 
-Theyle please you most nicely if youle be at 
leisure, 
To heare their sweet chanting, it will yoo 
delight, . 
To cure melancholy at morning and night.” 
** Come, follow, follow me, 
You feiry elves that be; 
Which circle round this green, 
Come, folivuw me your queen. 3 . 
Hand in hand, let's dance around, 
For this place is farie ground. 
When mortals arte at rest, 
And snorting in their nest, 
Unheard, or unespyde, : 
Through key-holes we do glide 5 
Over tables, stools, and shelves, 
_ We trip it with our fairie elves. 
And if the house be foul, 
Or platter, dish, or bowl, 
Up stairs we nimbly creeps 
And find the sluts asleep; _ 
There we pinch their armes and thighes, 
None escapes, and none espies. 
But if the house be swept, — 
And from uncleanness kept, 
We praise the bose and maid, 
And duely she is paid 5 
For we do use, before we goe 
To drop a tester in her shoe. 
Upon the mushroam’s heady 
Qur table-cloth we spreads _ 
A grain oth finest wheat 
Is manchet that we eat: 
The pearly drops of dew we drinks 
In acorn cups fill’d to the brink. 
The fongues of nightingales, 
With unctuous juyce of snailes, 
Betwixt two nut-sbells stew'd, ~ 
Is meat that’s easily chew'd; 
The braines of rennes, the beards of mites 
Will make a feast of wond'rous price. 
Over the tender grasse, 
So /ightly we can passes 
The young and tender stalk 
Nere dows whereon we walke 3 
Nor in the morning dewe is seen. 
Over night were we bave been. 
The grashopper, gnat, and fly, 
Serves for our minstrels three; 
And sweetly dance awhile, 
Till we the time beguile: 
And when the moon-calfe bides her head, 
The glow-worm lights us wnto bed. -
