III. Ronde
Old women
Go not to the woods of Ormond,
Maidens beware, go not to the woods:
They are full of grim satyres, and of centaurs, of cunning wizards,
Of hobgoblins and of incubus,
Imps and ogres there hide,
Will o’ the wisps and fauns, roguish lamies,
Flying devils, devilkins,
Goat-footed folk and gnomes and demons,
Full of werewolves, elves, tiny myrmidons,
Of enchanters and of magicians,
Stryges and of sylphs, full of outcast monks,
Of cyclops and of djinns, goblins,
Korrigans, necromancers, kobolds...
Old men
Go not to the woods of Ormond,
Younglads beware, go not to the woods:
They are hiding host of fauns, and of bacchantes and of fairy folks,
Of satyresses and ogresses, and of babaïagas,
Of centauresses and of shedevils,
Witches out from their sabbath,
Of she-hobgoblins, of female demons,
Of larves and of nymphs, tiny myrmidons,
Of Hamadryads, and dryads, of naiads, menades, thyades,
Will o’wisps, of lemures, female gnomes, succubus, of gorgons and she-goblins...
Go not to the woods of Ormond.
Maidens and Younglads
We shall no more to the woods go,
Alas, never more shall we go there.
There are no more grim satyres,
And no more nymphs, fairy folk have fled.
Gone the hobgoblins and incubus,
Or ogres, no more imps,
Fauns or will o’ the wisps,
No more furies, flying devil, devilkins, goat-footed folks,
No more gnomes or demons,
No more werewolves, elves, imps and myrmidons,
No enchanters, or magicians, or stryges,
No more sylphs or of outcast monks,
No more cyclops or djinns, little devils, efrits, oegypans,
Or sylvans, goblins, korrigans, necromancers, kobolds...
Go not to the woods of Ormond,
Ill-advised old women, ill-advised old men
Frightened them all away!
