I wonder how much Shakespeare would approve of me cutting all his langauge so that my S4 class will have a clue what's going on :(
It means that something as beautiful as this:
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.
Philomel, with melody,
Sing in our sweet lullaby;
Lulla, lulla, lullaby; lulla, lulla, lullaby:
Never harm,
Nor spell, nor charm,
Come our lovely lady nigh;
So, good night, with lullaby.
Has just become (through my bad translation) this:
Protect our Queen from nasty things,
Sunlight is fading from the summer sky,
So keep her safe - for more beginnings,
This is our wish and our lullaby.
Eek! What would William say?
