A Book of old English love songs . HEN icicles hang by the wall And Dick the shepherd blows his nail,And Tom bears logs into the hall,And milk comes frozen home in pail;When blood is nipt, and ways be foul,Then nightly sings the staring owlTu-whit!Tu-who ! A merry note !While greasy Joan doth keel the pot. When all about the wind doth blow,And coughing drowns the parsons saw,And birds sit brooding in the snow, And Marians nose looks red and raw;When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl —Then nightly sings the staring owl Tu-whit!Tu-who ! A merry note !While greasy Joan doth keel the pot. — William S

LOW, blow, thou winter wind,Thou art not so unkindAs mans ingratitude;Thy tooth is not so keenBecause thou art not seen,Although thy breath be ho! sing heigh ho! unto the green holly:Most friendship is feigning, most lovingmere folly:Then, heigh ho ! the holly !This life is most jolly. Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,Thou dost not bite so nighAs benefits forgot:Though thou the waters warp,Thy sting is not so sharpAs friend rememberd not. « HBloto, bloto, tfjou tointcit toinu Heigh ho! sing heigh ho! unto the green holly:Most friendship is feigning, most loving merefolly:Then, heigh ho! the holly!This life is most jolly. — William Shakespeare.
