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 remember'd not Heigh, ho ! sing, heigh, ho ! &c.
Page 236 - I say unto you, remember the last words of your dead father, which were to be constant to your religion, and never to be shaken in it.
