   ( POEMS)       Blow, Blow, Thou by William Shakespeare     Blow, Blow, Thou winter Wind Thou art not so unkind As main’s ingratitude.  Thy tooth is not so keen’ Because thou art not seen, Although thy breath be rude. 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. Freeze, freeze thou bitter sky, That does not bite so nigh As benefits forgot: Though thou the waters warp, Thy sting is not so sharp As a friend remembered not. 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.   Paraphrasing of Stanza of Poem Figures of Speech Metaphor Assonance Simile  Imagery Use the phrasal verbs in sentences. Look over Look up Make up Mix up Put off
