Song of the Holly
\nby William Shakespeare<\/p>\n

Blow, blow thou winter wind?
\nThou art not so unkind
\nAs man’s ingratitude!
\nThy tooth is not so keen,
\nBecause thou art not seen,
\nAlthough thy breath be rude.
\nHeigh ho! sing heigh ho! unto the green holly:
\nMost friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly.
\nThen heigh ho! the holly!
\nThis life is most jolly!<\/p>\n

Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky?
\nThou dost not bite so nigh
\nAs benefits forgot!
\nThough thou the waters warp,
\nThy sting is not so sharp
\nAs friend remembered not.
\nHeigh ho! sing heigh ho! unto the green holly,
\nMost friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly.
\nThen heigh ho, the holly!
\nThis life is most jolly!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
