This brief song is a setting of Mistress Quickly’s song exorcising Falstaff from Act V, Scene 5 of The Merry Wives of Windsor.
Fie on sinful fantasy!
Fie on lust and luxury!
Lust is but a bloody fire
Kindled with unchaste desire
Fed in heart, whose flames aspire
As thoughts do blow them, higher and higher
Pinch him, fairies, mutually;
Pinch him for his villany;
Pinch him, and burn him, and turn him about
Till candles and starlight and moonshine be out
Fie on sinful fantasy was written by George Shearing & William Shakespeare.
