from The Fairies' Farewell
Farewell, rewards and Fairies,
Good housewives now may say,
For now foul sluts in dairies
Do fare as well as they;
And though they sweep their hearths no less
Than maids were wont to do,
Yet who of late for cleanliness
Finds sixpence in her shoe?
Lament, lament, old Abbies
The fairies' lost command;
They did but change priests' babies,
But some have changed your land;
And all your children sprung from thence
Are now grown Puritans,
Who live as changelings ever since
For love of your domains.
At morning and at evening both
You merry were and glad,
So little care of sleep or sloth
These pretty ladies had.
When Tom came home from labour,
Or Ciss to milking rose,
Then merrily, merrily went their tabor,
And nimbly went their toes.
Witness those rings and roundelays
Of theirs, which yet remain,
Were footed in Queen Mary's days
On many a grassy plain;
But since of late Elizabeth,
And later James, came in
They never danced on any heath
As when the time hath been.
By which we note the Fairies
Were of the old profession;
Their songs were Ave Marys,
Their dances were procession.
But now, alas, they all are dead,
Or gone beyond the seas,
Or farther for Religion fled,
Or else they take their ease.
– Richard Corbet (ca. 1620)
