Because thou art not seene,

Although thy breath be rude.

Heigh ho! sing heigh ho, unto the green holly,

Most friendship is fayning, most Loving meere folly:

Then heigh ho, the holly,

This Life is most jolly.

Freize, freize, thou bitter skie,

That dost not bight so nigh

As benefitts forgot;

Though thou the waters warpe,
