When icicles hang by the wall. And 3->ick the shepherd blows bis nail, I And Tom bears logs into the hall. And milk comes frozen home in pail, i When blood is nipped, and ways be foul, '£ Then nightly sings the staring owl, ? Tu-who; § Tu-whit, tu-who—a merry note, While greasy Joan doth keel the pot. | When all around the wind doth blow. And coughing drowns the parson's 5 And birds sit brooding in the snow, i And Marian's nose looks red and raw, = When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl, i Then nightly sings the staring owl. g Tu-who; | Wlibo' 1 greasy h Joan doth the pot. 1 W. SHAKESPEARE. (Love’s Labour's Lost, Act v., Sc. ii.). §J |
