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.
As You Like It, Act II, Scene VII
Stone carving by John Roddis of Birmingham at St Augustine Edgbaston.

There is an old tale goes that Herne the Hunter,
Sometime a keeper here in Windsor Forest,
Doth all the wintertime, at still midnight,
Walk round about an oak, with great ragged horns..
The Merry Wives of Windsor

With good old folks, and let them tell thee tales
Of woeful ages long ago betid..

Of Orpheus now no more let Poets tell,
To bright Cecilia greater pow'r is giv'n;
His numbers rais'd a shade from hell,
Hers lift the soul to heav'n.
For St Cecilia's feast day, All Saints Bromsgrove by Albert Lemmon.
