Song: Hush, Hush! Tread Softly! - I

Hush, hush! tread softly! hush, hush, my dear!

All the house is asleep, but we know very well

That the jealous, the jealous old bald-pate may hear,

Though you've padded his night-cap - O sweet Isabel!

Though your feet are more light than a Faery's feet,

Who dances on bubbles where brooklets meet -

Hush, hush! soft tiptoe! hush, hush, my dear!

For less than a nothing the jealous can hear.
