William Shakespeare (26 April 1564 - 23 April 1616 / Warwickshire)
Poems by William Shakespeare : 6 / 410
Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind
Blow, blow, thou winter wind
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 freindship if feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.
Freeze, freeze thou bitter sky,
That does not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As a 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.

Wow he said a mouthful with those words!
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As a friend remembered not. ;)

Rain, rain thou summer yet?
I've never been so wet.
But naught besides the the soak
From tax and bankers' theft.
For we've been left bereft
If not quite broke!
Heigh-ho! Sing heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most days it's raining. You'll need a brolly.
Then heigh-ho, the holly!
This weather's most jolly.
Apologies to Big Bill.
No one hop on my head about this but Shakespeare sound totally wasted.
you can't say that nobody agees with me.
No matter i love Shakespears work drunk or sober
I just love the 'Shakespearan view of life'
Well written Shakespeare!
Truly, a the winter wind is better than a bad brother or friend.
Truly, a good enemy is better than a bad friend.
really it do hurts when ur friend be unfaithful
Elizabethan or Podernist the thing is that human facts seems to be always the same.Betray, ingratitude, vanity and solitude are just the sign of times.Love Shakespeare.
Winter England, Green holly and life so jolly. Oh to be an Elizabethan!
