Do you know what is As You Like It? As You Like It is a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare.

Now read the lyric Blow, blow, thou winter wind, Thou art not so unkind As man's ingratitude ; Thy tooth is not so keen, Because thou art not seen, Although thy breath be rude.

Let’s watch the song

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.

Then heigh-ho, the holly! This life is most jolly.

As benefits forgot: Though thou the waters warp, Thy sting is not so sharp As friend remembered not. High-ho! sing heigh-ho! unto the green holly. . .

Home work Write a summary of the story.

Ans: The poem is from Shakespeare’s play As You Like It. In this poem the poet comments upon the ways of the world and human rudeness and ingratitude, which is more biting than the winter wind. the speaker of the poem addresses the winter wind to blow as strongly as it wills but it cannot be as biting as the human society. Then the speaker accuses his friends of not remembering his favours, and not being thankful. The speaker also comments that friendship is only a pretence and love is nothing but absurdity and foolery. But the speaker again tells that life is very wonderful and should be fully enjoyed.
