King Arthur, Z. 628 (Suckling/McCreesh Edition), Act II: Song – Let Not a Moonborn Elf Mislead Ye (Grimbald)
Henry Purcell
Let not a moonborn elf mislead ye
From your prey, and from your glory
Too far, alas, he has betray'd ye
Follow the flames, that wave before ye
Sometimes sev'n, and sometimes one
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry on
See, see the footsteps plain appearing
That way Oswald chose for flying
Firm is the turf, and fit for bearing
Where yonder pearly dews are lying
Far he cannot hence be gone
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry on
