::Heigh ho! sing heigh ho! unto the green holly:
::Blow, blow thou winter wind,
::Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
::Thou art not so unkind
::As man's ingratitude;
::Thy tooth is not so keen
::[ Because ]1 thou art not seen,
::Although thy breath be rude.
 
::Heigh ho! sing heigh ho!

Blow, blow thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen
[ Because ]1 thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
Heigh ho! sing heigh ho!
Unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning,
Most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh ho! the holly!
This life is most jolly.


Freeze, freeze thou bitter sky,
Thou dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remember'd not.


Heigh ho! sing heigh ho!
unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning,
most loving mere folly
Then, heigh ho! the holly!
This life is most jolly.


1: Parry substitutes: "Although"

Lyrics: William Shakespeare (1564-1616) , from a song in the play "As You Like It", Act II, Scene vii.
