Thou art not so unkind As man's ingratitude; Thy tooth is not so keen, Because 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, (sing heigh ho) the holly! This life is most jolly. Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky, That dost not bite so nigh As benefits forgot: Though thou the waters warp, Thy sting is not so sharp As friend remembered not. Heigh ho, sing heigh ho, unto the green holly: Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly: Then, heigh ho, (sing heigh ho) the holly! This life is most jolly.
