Blow, blow thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind as man's ingratitude.


Freeze, freeze thou bitter sky,
Thou dost not bite so nigh as benefits forgot.


Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen.
Although thy breath be rude.


Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp,
As friends remembered not.
