King Arthur, Z. 628 (Suckling/McCreesh Edition), Act II: Song & Chorus – Hither This Way (Philadel)
Henry Purcell
Hither this way, this way bend
Trust not the malicious fiend
Those are false deluding lights
Wafted far and near by sprites
Trust em not, for they'll deceive ye
And in bogs and marshes leave ye
Hither this way, this way bend
This way, hither this way, this way bend
If you step no longer thinking
Down you fall, a furlong sinking
Tis a fiend who has annoy'd ye
Name but Heav'n, and he'll avoid ye
Hither this way
Hither this way, this way bend
This way, hither this way, this way bend
Trust not the malicious fiend
Hither this way, this way bend
This way, hither this way, this way bend
