the faerie elves

..Faerie Elves,
whose midnight Revels, by a Forrest side
or Fountain some belated Peasant sees,
or dreams he sees, while over head the Moon
sits Arbitress, and neerer to the Earth
wheels her pale course, they on thir mirth & dance
intent, with jocond Music charm his ear;
at once with joy and fear his heart rebounds...
