WILLIAN SHAKESPEARE (England, 1564-1616)
Under the greenwood tree


Under the greenwood tree
Who loves to lie with me,
And turn his merry note
Unto the sweet bird's throat,
Come hither, come hither, come hither:
Here shall he see
No enemy
But winter and rough weather.

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