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 remembered 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.
