 WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Who doth ambition shun, And loves to live i 5 the sun. Seeking the food he eats, And pleased with what he gets, Come hither, come hither, come hither: Here shall he see No enemy But winter and rough weather.

Jaques replies:

If it do come to pass That any man turn ass, Leaving his wealth and case A stubborn will to please, Ducdame, ducdame, ducdame: Here shall he see Gross fools as he, An if he will come to me.

��146 Blow, blow, thou Winter Wind

> LOW, 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 friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly: Then heigh ho, the holly! This life is most jolly.
